1995 Mercury Cougar LX 4.6 281 CID

Summary:

Speed Demon

Faults:

EGR went out, replaced the fan, transmission is kinda slow.

General Comments:

Great car!! My first car was one of these and it smashes! I always leave Chevys in the dust. Big ass engine when taken out; surprisingly even bigger than its predecessor, the legendary 5.0 302CID. Especially if you swap performance parts in these bad boys.

I had a 1995 Thunderbird with the 4.6. I put a Hypertech module, under drive pulleys, larger throttle body, and ram air on it. It would hit 140 mph. It was a fast, comfortable, and reliable car.

1995 Mercury Cougar LX V8

Summary:

One of the best cars I've eve owned!

Faults:

There was not a whole lot of problems with this car! It had alignment issues but that was pretty much it.

General Comments:

This car is one of the best car's I have ever owned! The only reason I'm thinking about trading it in is because it is rear-wheel drive and I live in MI... bad winters. It has kept running great since I bought it! You do have to watch taking corners too fast, however, because it is rear-wheel drive, it has a bigger tendency to fish tail. I guess my biggest issue is the fact that it is so powerful, it makes me nervous. It did, however, make me feel very safe. I felt that if I were to ever get in an accident involving this car, I would probably be okay.

1995 Mercury Cougar XR7 4.6 liter shov8

Summary:

It's an excellent vehicle that I intend on enjoying for quite a while

Faults:

The only problem we have had as of yet is that the previous owner had bypassed the heater core. Therefore my heater does not work.

I also haven't been able to get the oil plug off! But I will be taking it in to a shop soon.

General Comments:

I have really enjoyed the car. It rides very smooth. The motor is in excellent condition.

The only thing about the car that I have changed thus far is the exhaust. I put Dual Glass Pack exhaust on it. I plan on making further performance upgrades in the near future.

Thus far I have to say that I am very pleased with the performance of the car. My wife even intends on getting her one for herself within the next year.

My aunt had a 1990 Mercury xr7 that I had enjoyed and that's why I chose this car.

1995 Mercury Cougar 4.6 V8

Summary:

One of America's best coupes ever

Faults:

The transmission torque converter acts kinda'weird between 3rd and overdrive, but I knew about these issues with these cars before I got one, but I still wanted one because they're some super good looking cars.

General Comments:

Even though the front seats could have been more stylish or sporty looking, I'm amazed at how well thought out this cars' interior design is;in particular, the door locks were obviously designed so that some low-life couldn't slide a tire tool through from the top of the door and activate the power door locks. I agree, that discontinuing the cougars and t-birds from the 94-97 era was a mistake, those were some of the nicest coupes ever made in America.

1995 Mercury Cougar XR7

Summary:

I don't ever want another car!

Faults:

The fuel injector suffered a mishap at just over 102,000 miles.

General Comments:

The Cougar is a wonderful car, quick and seriously powerful, capable of throwing you back into your seat if you just give it a little bit of gas. The distinctive body shape, along with the headlights (which I've always been able to pick out in the dark from a mile away) make a seriously unique car, with a reliable and powerful V8 beneath that big front hood. Most everything in the car is just how it was when it was bought in '97, except the CD player was replaced about 4 years ago. Everything is still working in excellent condition. I'm not trading her in anytime soon.
