  This car was a LEMON!!! - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By Kevin Chiu - December 27 - 10:00 am

  I bought my 2000 Cougar V6 Sport brand new in January of 2001. After 6 months of driving, I had over 30 pages in work orders. Everything in this car was wrong. Ford spent more money fixing this lemon then I paid for it. To top thing off, Ford Customer Care would not help me. Avoid this lemon!!!

  My 2nd Lemon - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By Raff - May 21 - 10:00 am

  I am the un-proud owner of a 2000 Cougar, after Ford replaced my 1999 Cougar that was plagued with issues. The 2000 is no better! New transmission in under 18K miles, sloppy front end, multiple front tire rebalancing, bad oil seal on the pan, coolant leaks, radio problems, bad left/front half axel, new brakes in under 20K miles, bad steering knuckle, and the list goes on!!! Holman service is a disaster to boot. They replaced the trans and while driving home from the shop, the front left tire fell off! Almost got killed on that one. Never again would I buy ANY Ford product!!

  Not a reliable car.. i hate my cougar - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By Ashley - March 17 - 10:16 am

  I bought this car about two years ago after having a friend total my vw jetta which i loved. the cougar is nothing compared to that car and i can say i have had more problems with my cougar than i ever had with my jetta. within the first few months of having my car i liked it, it was nothing special but after like four months i started to have major problems with it. since i have spent probably close to $6000 fixing it. replaced the transmittion, any and every sensor possible, the alternator is bad now and i have had probably 5 batteries all go bad. the car stalls when it gets cold out or rainy. it is a very unpredictable car and i would not recommend it to anyone... wish i never got it

  I hate this car - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By patskar - August 3 - 10:00 am

  Ive had this car almost 3 years and have just put in its 5th alternator. Ive also had two other separate electrical services. The radio has been replaced twice and the hatch release has been repaired twice and still doesn;t work. I am so sorry I bought this car. It looks pretty, but thats about it.

  Worst car ever - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By Mihai B - August 5 - 2:00 am

  Bought this car brand new and since that day, im spending most of my time at the dealer for all kinds of problems. Im trying to get rid of it, but it lost so much value over the last 2 years that im losing to much money. I do not recommend to anyone!

  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.

  why even buy it. - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By sweetbesos24 - March 7 - 2:00 am

  The vehicle has problems with electrical system and fuel pumps. They need to improve on the quality of the vehicle overall. Such as more power and a lighter frame for the car. The vehicle handles and turns ruff and should not turn like a truck. The vehicle also fishtales in the rain or making a somewhat of a fast turn.

  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!
