  Dont buy one - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By unsatisfied - June 17 - 2:00 am

  The Mercury Cougar is number 5 on the "lemon list" put out by the government. I have had mine in (that has less than 30000 miles on it and is still under warranty) 4 times in the last three months! The have replaced the "brain" to the transmission, fuel pump, etc. 2002 is the last year they are making them because they have so many problems.

  I bought my Cougar in February 2005 its a 2000 Jet Black and beautiful! The previous owner took care of it like a baby. There have been NO problems so far (hope i didnt jinx myself) I have owned lots of sports cars and this one is smooth. Ive never had any problems with the infamous drink holder. I have Monza exhaust and Weapon R Intake. This car PURRS!

  Love my Cougar - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By bflo_chick - May 7 - 2:00 am

  I wanted a Cougar for the longest time. I bought this car used two years ago. I love the way it looks, handles and drives. The backseat is not passenger friendly, but that is fine with me because I dont like driving everyone around anyways. Ive had a few problems with the car, but nothing that wasnt covered on the warrenty. The one thing I do not like about this car is the tires are very expensive and I just replaced them and spent almost 1k.

  Looks cool, built like junk - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By Mike Jensen - April 24 - 10:00 am

  Ford bought back my car as a lemon. Im glad it happened as it had many problems and I still had 2 more years on my lease. On the otherside, the car looked great. It was kind of embarassing having a tow truck pulling it so often, but I liked the design of it.

  Love love love this car! - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By CandyCane - April 12 - 2:00 am

  I love this car. Its really fun to drive, has lots of pep. Love the looks of it too; very different from the looks of most cars in its class...makes it stand out. Steering is a little heavy; I think that would be my only complaint, but its honestly not THAT bad. I have had it for 2.5 years now and have never had to do anything but routine maintenance; have had no major problems at all.

  Dont be fooled.. - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By tcmommy - March 26 - 1:11 am

  I bought this car used as my very first car. It had 55k miles on it and I loved it at first. It now has 153k miles and I dont even feel safe driving it. At about 70k miles I had already gone through 1 alternator and 2 batteries. The car started shaking really bad and I needed to replace entire transmission. All in all, Ive had to replace, many tires (more than usual), 4 alternators, 2..yes 2 transmissions, transmission and engine mounts, many batteries, the trunk no longer stays open on its own, check engine light will not go off, even though dealers have checked numerous times, lights have a film over them, and power window motor twice. It looks nice, breaks great, but just not worth it.

  Great ride, but falls apart too quick - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By kidfilter - March 14 - 1:43 pm

  Like many of the reviewers for this car, I started having troubles from day one, nothing too major front headlight was out and a recall for the steering, but still frustrating. My major problem with the car is the fuel system. Troubles started in 2003. I started running out of gas even though the gauge said there was gas in the tank. Now (2007) I cant let the car go below a 1/2 tank without worrying that I may run out of gas. I just replaced the alternator. The cupholder is dangerous. Sounds silly, but wait till you make a tight right turn in one of these babies and have a lap full of scalding coffee. Great handling, fun design. All trunk no backseat. Not good for people over 55".

  I love the way the car looks and in the first couple of years it was trouble free except for the recalls.
