Re: Mercury Cougar + Problems?
Well, if it means anything... its also a very safe car. There have been a few incredible accident stories over the years, and I can't recall anyone being seriously hurt. Theres even one guy in CA who slid off the road, down a hill, rolled it and landed on the roof... and he walked away!

Re: Mercury Cougar + Problems?

Grant is being used as a selling point now? (or crash test dummy success story)

I think most people here will agree it's a great car - with minor maintenance issues you would come across on any 10ish year old car. Plus not every other car on the road is one, so have some uniqueness that you don't see everyday.

Thats one of the big reasons i would like that car. In all my life in this city, i've seen 3 of them. A black one, a white one and a blue one. That white one i saw just so happens to be the one I am interested in purchasing. I've seen a couple of ads selling them too, but havn't seen them driven. I also like american cars, i really don't think their build quality is inferior..atleast not by that much.

Well, since he's Canadian, I'd imagine whatever his dad said would most likely start/end with "Eh"

Re: Mercury Cougar + Problems?
I've now put 46,000 miles on my car and had it for about 2.5 years. No "common" issues at all, only my abuse broke the clutch, thats about all i've had a problem with.
