2001 Mercury Cougar review from North America
"Very Happy to own one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windshield washer reservoir leaks when the pump turns on, Left as is.
Car drifts slowly to the left (may be alignment)
Check engine (SES) light comes on every 3 months, due to misfires. I simply clear the code without any ill effect.
General comments?
Very sleek car, causes much envy!
Wonderful handling, corners on rails.
2.5L Engine is not as powerful as I would like, my old 3.1L Beretta seemed faster.
Hatchback door can hit tall passengers on the head.
Loads of room in the back with the rear seats folded.
