2000 Ford Cougar review from Australia and New Zealand
"The Cobra is a very good car.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My last Ford Cougar was a new 1999 model, I had that one for a year. I liked the car. It was good to drive and was a good size for 2 people. It's not a good car if you have 10 kids.
The car never stopped working. I did have to change 1 headlight. I had the leather seats and they were very good. You know it's a sporty car so if you have back problems it might not be the best for you. TRY A 4x4.. I put 45000k on the clock.
General comments?
I did have an order in for a new ford cobra V8.

But after working out a new budget I decided to update to a new Cougar. This time silver not red, and with the Eibach sports mod... Lower springs, 18" wheels with 45x215. Ground kit... Just needs the supercharger you can get in the USA.

If your looking for a right hand drive Cobra Mustang, Ford Australia build them...
