costs too much - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By doege - July 16 - 10:00 amI will have to spend $600 every year after my warranty runs out to replace the feul pump. The mechanics that have already replaced two have told me no matter what I do it will still go out. My CD player already doesnt work and my car is almost 3 years old. I have bought 8 new tires and prices just went up in my area to $140 a tire. I would never buy a cougar again myself, and I would not reccomend buying one to anyone else.

Great smaller car - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By katjams - July 4 - 2:00 amI have nothing but praise for the Cougars responsiveness and reliability. It is a fun car to drive, having sleek, sporty lines and a unique taillight configuration. It is average in gas consumption: I get about 18 mpg in city driving, and 24 mpg highway. Nice features are the electronic gas consumption indicator, the MPG indicator and outdoor temperature reader. 60/40 fold down seats are a real plus. Biggest complaints are the somewhat cramped interior and the 2- door hatchback visibility. I also think the suspension can be improved.

By Tessath - May 16 - 2:00 amPerfect car... just watch out for the bucket seats in the back and the head room. Dont buy it if you are very tall.

My Cougar - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By MaineWolf - May 3 - 11:33 pmI have been looking for recalls on the powered moonroof but I dont really see any. Mine is not opening at all, when I push the button, it sounds like it is opening but its not. I just bought this car from a car dealer a month ago. I can, however, tell I am in need of an alternator soon! Thank God my dad was a mechanic and I learned a lot from him. But overall, I really love this car. It is jet black, leather interior, awesome sounds stereo (CD Player Equipped), Sporty, I just love it. I did get it used, but as with any vehicle, no matter make, model, year, new or used, you are bound to have problems. Take it to a mechanic before you purchase it to see if its worth the price before buying!

Great Car - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By lz3d0b - April 21 - 10:00 amI bought my Cougar new in early 2000 and other than oil changes and very minor problems, it has performed flawlessly. It handles great (compare it to a Grand Am and you will see what I mean) and has adequate power. This was a vehicle that cost around 20K and it should not be compared to more expensive sports cars. I found that if I needed extra power, I could switch overdrive off and it made a huge difference. Just a fabulous blend of power and great gas mileage. It is highly refined and the V6 is silky smooth. Wonderful exterior lines and there arent a lot of them on the road.

No complaint, for what it when through - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By Like to Driver - April 8 - 10:43 pmI bought this car new in August 2000, fully loaded except for leather. I have driven the car very very aggressively from day one. Except for an alternator problem 1 1/2 yr ago. Had no problem. I have driven this car everyday since new, I have no back vehicle. Currently have 340,000kms on the car now, and plan to keep it until I have to dig a hole and bury it. All I can say is "take it for what it is." It a nice inexpensive sports car that looks good. If you are looking for a Sunday afternoon drive car, this is not it.

Heaven to Hell - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By JosieListens - January 18 - 10:00 amI got this car as my first car. It was bought with busted valve gasket (easily fixed, cheap). Beautiful car! Drifter body kit, engine mods, custom exhaust and muffler. 4mo after getting car Timing Belt crystallized (expensive, had to get tensioner too). 1mo later replaced vacuum line. Engine light has always been on. NOW, master cylinder blew. I loved this car in the beginning. Super fun, with 5 speed transmission, super quick. BUT, it JUST SITS more than i drive it. Expenses to get it fixed are just ridiculous!!

Good and Bad - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By Paulyzz - January 7 - 2:00 amI love this car, the way it looks, and the way it handles. I have had nothing but problems with it though. Already on the third alternator, have had 2 shorts in the radio (which still doesnt work right), and the car would not start on me on several occasions. There are too many problems to list here. This car has been in the shop in excess of 25 times, and Ford had to give me a premium warranty because I was threatening to declare it a lemon. Love the car, but would never buy another one, which is a shame, becasue you dont see them all over the place.

Great Car - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By Mike - November 27 - 11:40 amI got this car in apr 03 from an auction for 3k. well it had 97k miles on it then and it has 143k now and ive never had anything replaced. i did notice the hatch on the back likes to stick and the cup holder doesnt fit larger cups.. doesnt seem like that is worth complaining about tho. i think it is the "sports package" edition since it has everything on it i.e. moonroof, leather, electric seats, spoiler etc. i have traveled from Richmond to Miami and last summer stayed in Syracuse NY and drove down to Richmond VA just about every weekend for 3 months (yes a 7 hour drive!) and the car has never broken down or any problem what so ever! maybe i just got really lucky..
