  • What a Lemon - 2000 Mercury Cougar
    By -

    I would not suggest anyone to buy this car. I fell in love with this car when I first seen it but in this case looks were not everything. I bought this car as a birthday present to myself and since driving it off the lot a year ago I have already spent $4000 in repairs. It is sitting at the garage right now waiting for another transmission. I have had it in the garage twice before with the same issues. Other than the trans my AC stopped working this past summer, the fan at the radiator stopped working, the headlights do this dimming thing that just drives me crazy, but hey, it has a great radio. Its seen the back of a tow truck more than the road itself.

  • This is the best car!!!! - 2000 Mercury Cougar
    By -

    I purchased my car used and it is the best car ever. My last car was a Volkswagen Jetta and i hated it (needless to say i only kept it for about 5 months). The Cougar is a great car and i have had no problems with it and would recommend this car over a Volkswagen Jetta any day. It is a great car for anyone that is looking for a excellent car at a good price. I dont know how other people treat their cars but i dont have the same problems that everyone else seems to have.

  • Love My Cougar - 2000 Mercury Cougar
    By -

    I loved my 2000 Cougar from the minute I slipped into the bucket seat. Its high performance and handling made this V-6 five speed a blast to drive. Its been five years and 100K miles and I hate to think about having to trade it in.

  • So Sorry I Bought One - 2000 Mercury Cougar
    By -

    I bought my car right off the showroom floor with 6 miles on it. I absolutely love this car but has been nothing but a nightmare since I got it. I have had the motor pulled twice because it keeps blowing the pan gasket seal and every time I pick it up from the dealer it goes out before I am out of town. The headlights dim, when you run the A/C and the headlights you might as well forget about power and being able to see. I also agree with the tire situation they are expensive costing on average $175 per tire. The cup holder is a joke also it may not be important to some but when you are waring your drink its funny!

  • So-so car - 2000 Mercury Cougar
    By -

    This was a very nice car. The first day we bought it off the lot we got ours brand new and havent had too many problems with it. Only a few things here and there. Car has a sleek design and it is fun to show off and just go for a cruise. The gas mileage is a little low but better than some of the new cars today. It was a great buy and soon it will be my sons car!

    I have about 90000 miles on this car with no problems whatsoever. Its a very solid car, good gas mileage, and quick.

  • Love my Cougar! - 2000 Mercury Cougar
    By -

    In fact I love it so much, I am about to trade it in on a brand new one! I have never had any problems out of my 2000 cougar. It has been a fun reliable car for me. I am looking to buy the 2002 Anniv. Special real soon! So you can go look up my little Blue trade in and get you a really good car!

    I wanted a cougar for years before I actually bought one. Im not at all disappointed. She could handle a bit better in the snow, but overall, I love her!

  • Dunno what car you people are driving... - 2000 Mercury Cougar
    By -

    ...since I have had NO PROBLEMS with the exception of having to take it to the dealership to replace a fuse for the left turn signal. The acceleration, braking and handling make this car fun to drive. Easily gets up to 100 MPH. Fuel economy could be better as could the front drink holder. Reading the reviews made me laugh as I thought of using two hands to grab a drink larger than 20oz. One hand to pull the drink out, the other hand to keep the plastic in the center console! You people know what Im talking about! Overall its a great car and you people that dont think so are foolish!
