1996 Mercury Cougar

Shame they stopped making the Cougar

By Rick (OR) on Wednesday, April 10, 2013

I own this car
Reason: other car - My approximate mileage is 100,000

Pros: "fun to drive"

Cons: "Not built any longer"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"Drives well, handles very well, 20/25 plus miles per gallon, very comfortable to ride in, nice freeway cruiser, stable on the road, add the super charger option and have a freeway flyer. Carry 4 people with comfort. Unfortunately, they are no longer built. The one we had came with the handling option and larger brakes-nice cars"

new wax always brings out the paint color to new.

"Owned the car since 1998 and have enjoyed the ride to say the least ! I'm having trouble locating the hub nut area cover plates. They are octagonal shape with one allen machine screw into the hub perimeter. Anyone know where to look ? the rims are 10'' wide with thick soke pattern that should show up in the photo."

Great Ride at a low Price!

By Baybee27 (MI) on Saturday, January 14, 2012

I owned and sold this car
Reason: Doors wouldnt shut anymore.. - My approximate mileage is 117,000

Pros: "Reliable, Great Value, Even at High Miliage..."

Cons: "Nothing special to look at, Door problems"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I have owned the kitty cat! I really really enjoyed this car and feel as if I got every penny worth. The engine and trans never failed or gave me a problem! It probably would have ran forever.. I sold it at almost 200,000 miles because the doors just would not shut anymore. I hear this is a common problem with the cougar. While in my care, I replaced a water pump, alternator, and brakes. It always drove smoothly.. This car will last past 200,000 easily if maintained!"
