Ford Cougar 2.5 V6 24V 3d (2000/W) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Shopped around and got a bargain from a private sale. A lot of car for the money compared to a similar BMW, and a newer and nicer than a similarly priced 406 coupe.
Costs
Thirsty around town, especially if you have a heavy foot. 20-22 mpg. Ouch!

On the road
Driving
Mostly driving around town, where it does feel at a bit lumpy, but smooth and comfortable on A roads and motorway.
Performance
The V6 pulls beautifully all the way to the 7000rpm redline, and sounds fantastic with it. Sure I will get 3 points soon.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems yet.
Image
Sometimes it looks absolutely stunning, and occasionally I look at it a think it's oddly elongated. Unusual bargain.
Comfort
Quite luxurious with the X-pack but looks a bit like a plastics catalogue inside. Heating takes a little while to warm up in the winter. Seats could have a bit more side support as these cars can stick to a corner well! No problem getting in 4 adults.
