The trunk release never quiet releases.
Alternator when out going 80mph down the highway.
Has a lot of blind spots for me (I am a 5'5" female)
It is a really cute looking car.
Decent gas mileage.
I have been reading this web-site about other Cougars and I am getting worried.
I own a 2001 C2 and love every inch of it. Other than the Fuel pump recall, I have experienced no mechanical problems in the 59,000 miles I have put on it. I have been so impressed with my cat that I am passing it down to my teenage daughter as her first car. Her friends are all jealous. I am meticulous about oil changes and scheduled maintenance as I am a certified auto mechanic, and a female. I get stares whenever I am out on the road, and have had numerous compliments on her looks. The difference between the standard V6 and the C2 sport package make all the difference. Thanks to Mercury and their counterparts for producing a car that is reasonably priced, looks fantastic and even has Consumer Reports offering better than average ratings.
I have a 90 cougar ls and the passenger door auto lock is not working. I try to fix it, but I have not gotten that far in my auto skills yet. I would like to put a 302 in my car think it is worth it?
Re the above comment, about the only things in common between a '90 Cougar and a 2001 is the name and 4 wheels.
And you don't even know how to repair a power door lock, but you are talking about putting in a 302 engine?
Ru serious?
Never fear!!! I have a 1999 cat and yes I have had a few problems, but over all the car is awesome! It has 84,000 miles and still out racing civics, eclipse's, and even a 300z and just think it's all stock! My problems were: shocks, alignment (due to a friend running into a curb), and an alternator ($400.00). I have had a little lag at high rpm, but my baby is still quick!
