Overview & Reviews

New colors spruce up the outside, and all Cougars get the formerly optional Convenience Group (cruise, remote keyless illuminated entry and rear wiper/washer) as standard equipment. Evidently, the Zn (Zinc Yellow) feature car from 2001 failed to get buyers' pulses up, so Mercury tries again for 2002 with the XR package, which includes special red or black paint, a rear spoiler, a fake hood scoop and special logos. The Cougar C2 feature vehicle makes a return engagement for 2002. Sadly, the shelved Cougar S never materialized.

• Unique styling, well-tuned suspension, large cargo area.

  AWESOME - 2002 Mercury Cougar
  By BLK KAT - November 9 - 10:00 am

  This is my 3rd car and definately the best Ive ever had. V6,5 speed. Mine has a Stage 1 Roush package on it. For those that dont know, its got really cool ground effects, rear spoiler, 17" wheels with the Roush emblem, Roush floormats and an exhaust tip that makes it sound like a bumble bee. I was hesitant on leather interior and black for the color but I was sold on the Roush package. Its a 2000 model and it only had 7000 miles on it (was reposessed and passed around dealerships) when I bought it for $14500. My old car was a Neon and for $5000 more its a helluva deal! I love it! And get compliments ALL THE TIME!

  I Love It! - 2002 Mercury Cougar
  By Lauren - May 25 - 5:23 am

  I have had my car for a year and a half and I absolutely love it! I havent had any problems at all. I love the design and everything about it. Nice big trunk, a lot bigger than a lot of people think. Gas mileage isnt the best, but it is a V6, so what do you expect? We have previously had Hondas and Toyotas and this car is so much better than any Honda or Toyota we have had. The seats are incredibly comfortable and we actually take this car on long trips rather than our CRV. It handles really well and the cruise is right on. Very smooth ride and you cant even feel it shift. I would recommend this car to anyone!

  Probably the best Cougar - 2002 Mercury Cougar
  By JR - March 23 - 7:06 pm

  I own a 2002 cougar XR with 34,000 miles on it. Let me say i had a 1999 cougar and i thought it was sweet, this car by far beats it. The nicer interior and sweet headlights make me want to drive it constantly!

  Fun! - 2002 Mercury Cougar

  I love this car. It is a blast to drive, especially on a windy road. Even though it is nearly 7 years old, it still looks and drives like new.

  AWESOME CAR - 2002 Mercury Cougar
  By COUGARGUY - November 12 - 2:00 am

  I now have over 3,000 miles on my 2002 cougar V6 and have had no problems. Took it into the mountains and averaged 25 mpg, and I was passing alot of cars in the slow lane that could not keep up to the speed limit going up the mountain. I love my Cougar!!

  Best kept secret - 2002 Mercury Cougar
  By Great car - August 25 - 3:03 am

  This is my SECOND Cougar. The first one (2000)is still in service with 225,000 miles on it. My 2002 will turn 230,000 this week. Rock solid car and I cant understand the complaints. I intend to go at least 300,000 miles if not more. Both Cougars had brakes replaced the first time at 110,000 mile. Both also had to have fuel pump and AC clutch replaced at 140,000. Overall mileage is still above 27mpg. Great brakes and very sure footed and fun to drive.

  Anns car - 2002 Mercury Cougar
  By Ann marie - July 27 - 2:00 am

  This car is wonderful, I havent regretted buying it. I got into an accident, and it was pretty bad, and my car came out perfect. The structure on my 2002 stayed strong, and its comfort it perfect.

  Love it! - 2002 Mercury Cougar
  By brittany - May 10 - 5:26 pm

  Ive had my Cougar for 2yrs now and Im at 85000 miles. I love this car. I love the way it looks and the way it drives. Ive put a few performance things on it such as a cold air intake and a muffler and am hoping to get it tuned very soon because it is running lean. Ive had not problems as far a reliability and performance. I get what I expect from my care everytime I step on the gas. I think it is the best car Ive ever owned and wish they would make another one with maybe a bigger engine. I dont think Ill be getting another car until this one is completely gone. I will do anything to keep it as long as possible.
