What Owners are Saying About the 2002 Mercury Cougar
"Can be licensed as a classic car next year."
"this car can get 33 mi. to the gallon highway (driven at 55 mi. per hr.. We proved that on a trip from Mpls.,Mn. to Memphis,Tn. It is a joy to drive with quick pick-up, sportscar handling, rear seats that fold down so it can carry bulky items, 6 CD pack player(came standard) and the color (a deep Autumn Orange) is still getting me compliments in the parking lot. Styling is gorgeous and was miles ahead of it's time. I expect this car to go 150,000 mi. before retirement"
