  Hunk of Junk !! - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By kristan85 - March 20 - 3:08 pm

  Ive had my Cougar about 4 years now and its only just over 89,000 miles. Ive had to have 3 fuel flushes ..the gas was filthy and very dark brown and causing the engine to miss. Ive had to put 2 new batteries in it along with an altenator. I had plugged ECG valves. Last week I spent $700. on a new fuel pump along with a fuel/oil pressure censor. Ive replaced all 4 tires. The dash lights and headlights are always flickering. It wont start if its cold out. My sunroof wont open. Its starting to rust. The battery light is always flickering on and off (even with a new battery and altenator). When its cold out my trunk wont stay open I have to hold it up (hatchback)..do not recommend!!!

  Decent Car - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By Dustin - March 16 - 9:20 pm

  The Cougar is a fun, sporty car, so it turns tightly, rides stiffly, and the 5 speed manual shifts smoothly. But I have been unimpressed with the build quality. I changed my grille, put a new driver side mirror on, and ran subwoofer cables, so I have taken apart a lot of the car. Almost everything snaps together! You know what holds the bumper on? Plastic pins. Most everything is plastic, especially the dash. And oh, what a noisy, squeaky dash it is, too. Drives me crazy. All in all, Id say the Cougar is a decent car, but the build quality worries me, and I am going to soon upgrade to something more reliable and better quality.

  I Love My Cougar! - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By Lizzy - February 28 - 10:00 am

  I love this car! I was a little disappointed with the engine, I figured a car that sporty looking would have an equally sporty engine. Ive heard that the Cougar has acceleration problems. I guarantee you that everyone who says that drives an automatic. I have the I4 engine and I have never had problem accelerating. Get the manual! But this car is unique, and you dont see too many of them out there, making me just that much prouder of my car!

  We love this car! - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By mbserna - February 2 - 10:00 am

  Im surprised to read about the problems some have had with this car. My husband and I have had no problems. Weve driven it coast to coast and havent had to take it in for anything except for oil changes. It is a fun car to drive and the hatchback with folding seats gives us plenty of storage room. Weve hauled furniture and had friends borrow it to haul things that wouldnt fit in their cars. Were sad to be selling it, but the bucket seats in the back arent the best to put a car seat in.

  I bought this car from private seller after owning one before and loved it. Since I have this car I have put more money in than its worth. Had transmission replace, starter, gear cable and now something seriously wrong with engine (timing and wheel something) which will costs another 2300 to fix. I said forget it and Im selling for parts (of course I dont know who would want these crappy parts). I would never recommend buying this car. Its junk!

  AWFUL CAR besides look and stereo - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By ihatemycar721 - January 8 - 10:00 am

  This was my first car, i had bought it for cheap through family. THIS CAR IS CURSED! My hood didnt latch and flew up while i was driving on the expressway! Cup holder spills drinks everywhere. Have had to spend tons of money on fixing things. Headlights have a film on them. it VIOLENTLY shakes between 50-60 mph, needs a new motor mount. paint chips and fades. not a lot of storage. cloth on seats are itchy.it is just bad luck all around. air bags have not deployed in my 2 accidents they should have. seat belt locks constantly. LOVE the cute sporty look, and it has GREAT stock stereo system!
