2001 Mercury Cougar review from North America
"It is a nice looking car with quick pick-up, but the problems come faster than they are fixed!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Trunk never opens on first try, I have to hit the release button a number of times.
Constanyly jumps and sometimes stalls, when driving on the highway, if I break at all the steering wheel rocks quickly, like I am going to lose control - allinment off.
Needed a new battery after 57,000 miles.
Taken in for the recall on the fuel gasket.
Needed a new alternator at 63,000 miles.
Expensive to fill, I spend more on gas then the car payments a month.
Needs all 4 new tires, and they are not cheap!
Sometimes the CD's get stuck in the CD player when I try to eject them.
General comments?
Quick pick-up and fast moving.
Completely automatic, 6 disk CD player.
Nice looking car, all around.
Hot styling - exterior and interior.
