2001 Mercury Cougar review from North America
"My opinion of this car is it is beautiful, but a bad make"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes that came with the car wore down within the month that I had gotten the car.
This car is a beautiful car, I love the color, I love the style, but at the same time I am disappointed. The car seems to run out of gas quickly. Granted I did put 27000 miles on the car within 1 year, but it has stayed in tune.
The seats are probably the most uncomfortable seats I have ever sat in. I do agree that the seats are not for an overweight person. The front seats are OK for a tall or overweight person, but the back seats are awful.
The care has very bad suspension and ever since day one I have had a problem with the alignment of this car.
I now have to replace the starter and the alternator.
General comments?
I am not blaming the dealership I got this car from. I have no intentions of faulting anyone. I just now believe that looks of a car are not everything.
This car has made me realize how much I truly miss my 1997 Honda Accord.
