2000 Mercury Cougar Fully equipped review from North America
"Lamborghini adrenaline at a fraction of the cost!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
As of today's date: 8/28/01, I have had nothing wrong with my car! And I drive it very hard.
General comments?
My previous car was a limited edition Ford Thunderbird LX. Red and sporty, it was a great first car. So I had some reservation as to whether or not to purchase the Cougar. However, the first test drive sealed the T-Birds fate. I BOUGHT IT THAT DAY!
Performance red with all the trimmings, I drove it home from Indiana to Michigan as fast as I could and that was reasonably fast.
I would have given a "10" for performance if I would have gotten the manual transmission. I instead opted for the automatic because of Michigan's winters.
My only real complaint is the lack of rear room.
