"Sporty sexy ride with class"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The bulb fell out of dome lamp, twice while driving on bumpy roads.

The passenger seat tilt-release lever has broken twice.

Moon roof came of track at 18,000 miles.

Fuel Pump is going at 45,000. The Engine hesitates on heavy acceleration. It is a recall item, so I will not have to pay for it;^)

General comments?

The Interior and instrumentation is very sharp.

I really like the bright yellow on black with the rear spoiler. The fake hood scoop is a bit lame.

The car has the 17" tires and handles extremely well, much better then the base cougar. It is not too harsh like many of the other low priced Performance cars out there.

A good description is Firm, smooth and responsive.

It could use more Power, its not a speed demon. I would say that this the one laking point in Performance.

The car handles high speeds extremely well, My wife was driving it on the express way and was accidentally going just over 100MPH without really noticing the speed.

The Audio system in it Rocks!

I have the 5-speed Manual and the gas mileage and shifting is pretty good. The clutch is smooth and predictable.

Hello my name is jason my cougar hesitates under heavy acceleration too. I can get the fuel pump replace for free right? If it was a recall item right?
