Ford Cougar 2.0 16V 3d (2001/X) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Lots of car for the money (bought second-hand). Not so good new. Celica would be my choice if buying new.
Costs
Standard Mondeo parts are cheap. Other parts are very expensive and not freely available unless you live in Detroit! Tyres are an unusual size and very expensive.

On the road
Driving
Drives well on a run. Sticks to the road well. Lumpy town driving lets it down.
Performance
Nice balance between performance and mpg. Won"t upset any Porsches, but adequate.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems yet. But it is a Ford.
Image
Modern looking coupe. Quite pleasing to the eye. More a mature driver's car than a boy racer's dream.
Comfort
Not the most comfortable, especially in town traffic.

Security and Service
Security
Good immobiliser but needs aftermarket alarm system. I don"t like Ford locks, never have.
