2000 Mercury Cougar V6 review from North America
"An awesome car- one of the best mid-size cars in its class"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong so far.
At 4 years old, the car only had 39000Km, so was barely broken in.
General comments?
I've always had a preference for Ford/Mercury products and this car has not let me down at all in that department.
The car was in amazing shape when I bought it- the engine barely broken in, no body damage and no stains or marks on the upholstery. For that I thank the previous owner.
As for the exceptional performance of the car, I maintain my preference for Ford products.
The engine is quiet, powerful and smooth.
The car handles on corners like it's glued to the road.
The transmission shifts smooth as silk whether in the city or on the highway.
I've been getting 28 mpg on the highway and about 24 mpg in the city.
