2000 Mercury Cougar review from North America
"You get what you pay for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After a few days of dying on me in traffic, the fuel pump went out at 36,000 miles. My latest problem is a short in my locking system. Which means my trunk won't unlatch with the switch and I can't use my automatic door locks.
General comments?
I'm 5'4" and still find it hard to see over the steering wheel unless the seat is set at it's highest setting.
Very comfortable for road trips, The backseat is geat to have small kids jump in the back, Although I wouldn't recommend it for car seats, the few I have tried don't seam to fit correctly in the backseat. Terrific gas mileage I still get about 480 miles per tank! That makes me happy.
