2001 Mercury Cougar C2 review from North America
"Cute, fast, and just my kind of car!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Arms on Sun Roof broke (not under warranty), contacted the necessary people with no help. Cannot afford to pay $1,600.00 to get it fixed, so it remains broken to this day.
Transmission had to be replaced at 62,230 miles (internal damage)
Transmission went out again at 64,660 miles.
Engine is misfiring at 66,870 miles (in the process of getting fixed), also having additional transmission problems.
Coolant light comes and goes.
Alarm goes off every time a key is used to open the trunk. (Must use key-less remote or release button inside vehicle)
General comments?
Even though I am having some problems with it, I Love this car!! I would not trade it for anything. Very nice, when detailed correctly, love the color, love the rims, love the leather interior, actually I just love everything about my car. I also love the fact that I have Manual Overdrive, and with that little button, I can beat anyone who dares try to race me!!! Quick, Sporty, and just enough room inside for just me 8-).
