1998 Mercury Cougar V6 Sport package review from North America
"A great buy, sporty and fast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator is going out
Loss of power at high RPM's (only once in a while)
Trunk button broken.
General comments?
Excellent car. It looks fast and on a good day it is. The suspension is tight and takes corners like it is riding on rails. The interior is sporty and extremely comfortable although the back seats are less than desirable.
