2000 Mercury Cougar V6 review from North America
"Great car, a lot of maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
With in the first two months I owned my car the synchro mesh for first gear, both shift cables, the alternator, and the radiator all went. Since that time I have also had to replace the fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel gauge censer, catalytic converter, and the battery. The mass air flow has also been cleaned out.
General comments?
I have very much enjoyed driving my cougar. The handling and over all performance is incredible. Although there is still a hesitation I haven't been able repair yet. I find the seats are a little uncomfortable on long trips, but it was built for performance not comfort. Even with all the problems I've had, I still love my car! The gauge cluster, and interior lines are just as awe inspiring as the exterior. I'm always getting compliments on it's looks.
