2001 Mercury Cougar v6 review from North America
"Great affordable flashy sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car. The car has worked flawlessly. I fixed the recall on the fuel filter assembly even though it wasn't giving me any problems.
General comments?
3 best things about the car.
This car is the best handling car I've ever driven.
It has good power 170hp and gas mileage for a v6.
There are 3 downsides to the car.
The rear seats can't seat taller or overweight people.
The transmission is rough when shifting.
Overweight people won't fit properly in front seats because all the seats are contoured. Some may find them not as comfortable as more expensive cars.
