1999 Mercury Cougar review from North America
"The car is my favorite one of the 13 I've owned."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just purchased my car about 2 months ago.
It is still covered under warranty although I haven't needed to use it yet.
General comments?
This car is pretty quick. However I got beat by a 95 Jetta VR6.
I don't know why everyone's cougar has problems. Most seem like you just need to take better care of your car.
I really like the air vents, the air goes where you actually point it to go.
The seats are sporty. People have commented on the back seats too.
I finally have a half decent cupholder. However, I wish the one in back was the one up front.
The handling of this car is great.
The paint is in very nice shape. Maybe if people would wax their cars, the paint won't fade.
