goodlilcar - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By Badlilkitn - May 23 - 7:33 amI 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 love love this car! - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By CandyCane - April 12 - 2:00 amI 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.

Some People are Dumb - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By thiscarules - December 24 - 2:00 amPeople have to understand that almost all sport cars dont have back seats! I have noticed that my dash/radio lights do dim and i worry about the alternator, but it still going. I bought this car as a pre-owned in Oct. 2000, i only have had to replace the fuel pump once in july 2002, in sudden accelerations it would sputer. It has original looks so your not a clone on the road, it has plenty of power but i do want to add some stuff like an intake and exhaust for a bit more HP and fuel economy.

I love this car! - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By Anonymous - August 16 - 2:00 amI bought my Cougar new in 2000 and now am approaching 120,000 miles. It has been the most reliable car Ive ever had. Only normal maintenance until last year when I had a repair bill for $700. However, one bill in 10 years Ill take any day. This car is fun to drive, sporty, fast, yet tons of cargo space if you need it (fold-down hatchback). I average 24 mpg city/30 highway, which is better than many new cars. Ive been trying to convince myself to trade it for a new car, but I just cant find one that matches up (considering itll mean a car payment again + having to cross my fingers I get another good car). I may give it to my nephew (and that tells you how much I trust this car)

I like it... - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By cougarman - March 5 - 10:00 amI purchased my cougar in November of 1999. I love it. I make sure it has its scheduled maintenance, and in return, it purrs like a, well...cougar. After 3 years, I just replaced the tires and brakes. Thats it. No other problems. There were a few minor recalls for items like a battery cable not connected correctly, but the service I receive from my dealer gets me in and out quickly. I have a 5 spd which performs well in merging situations and pulling out into traffic. The interior is really constructed for not more than 2 people, but the bucket seats make for a comfortable ride.

This is the best car!!!! - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By luvmycar - October 5 - 10:00 amI 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.

I love it! - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By Mrhdaisy0 - April 11 - 10:00 amI 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 MarcusM - March 30 - 2:00 am...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!

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