2001 Mercury Cougar review from North America
"Durable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car has 320,000 Southern California miles on it and is still going strong. Original engine and transmission. I have religiously changed the engine oil and transmission fluid per manufacturer specs, and the car has taken care of me.
The transmission has just started slipping a bit, but with 320,000 miles, what can you expect?
The air conditioning no longer works, but it probably just needs a charge.
Interior when cleaned up looks great still.
General comments?
Handles pretty well and still looks good. Soaks up the miles pretty well.
