1999 Mercury Cougar V6 Sport review from North America
"Fun, fast, and still a great car to me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seat fabric not cut right at beginning.
1000 Miles replaced wheel bearing.
20k replace alternator.
20k replace coolant sensor.
25k replace window motors.
25k replace rotors.
30k O2 sensor out.
60k replaced alternator again.
72k wheel bearing again.
General comments?
I don't have a problem with comfort, and the look is great. It did gain a lot of attention at first.
However, it has had it's fair share of problems. But so did my previous car. I don't think there is a car out there that exists that won't have some problems.
For the money it was worth it and I still love my car. This is not a $45,000 BMW where parts are expected to last. You definitely get what you pay for.
