2000 Mercury Cougar c2 review from North America
"If your willing to put up with a few problems, it's a quick, cute, fun car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gas pump went out on the second day I owned it, which was fixed under dealer warranty, Then went out again which was fixed by my extended warranty, and then a third time.
The power steering pump has went out twice. The first time at 35,000m.
I have had two hose problems, Radiator hose, power steering hose.
The sunroof broke, at about 50,000m.
The hatch will never pop, if I try to open it from the inside of the car the latch sticks, I have to use the button on my remote and push down on it.
And now the most current problem, the exhaust came disconnected, so it sounds like a boat and I can't even drive it until it gets fixed.
General comments?
I like the overall look of the car. It's a cute, rounded car.
The seats are VERY comfortable,...well the front ones.
Its pretty quick and handles well, except on ice.
LOTS of space in the trunk, and the seats fold down.
I've had this car awhile and even through all of its problems Its been a fun and an overall okay vehicle.
