2002/2003 HI PO Cougar

Meeeeeowwwwww! Hisssssssssssssss! Retract those claws, Dave! Oh, and I don't think my Cougar is a Supra! It's a fine automobile with style and class even with out Bastardizing, I mean mods!

If you didn't want my opinion, why'd you ask a question that can only be answered in opinion form? Durrr...
You: "If they make a Hipo cougar in 2002/03, would you trade in your cougar?"
Me: "No I wouldn't, because in 2003 there will be at least 4 cars that are better than it. I don't want another ford car"
I didn't even add an editorializing about the quality of the mondeo/cougar/contour/mystique platform.... check out the contour board to see how many problems the 96-97 guys are having with fractured springs and worn wheel bearings. Some of the SVTs suffer from oil starvation on right hand turns. What kind of garbage is THAT?

Cougr8, I don't even SAY you think your car is a supra! My tagline is for all those knobs that ask stupid questions like "how can I chirp the tires going from 3rd to 4th in my 170 hp FRONT WHEEL DRIVE car!" and "I beat a SVT Mustang Cobra because I hollowed out my cat, d00dz!" Those kinds of examples of stupid boy-racer mentality are really beginning to grate on me.

I WILL be happy when I'm driving some other POS, like a Nissan Sentra Spec V, Lancer Evo7 or Impreza WRX STi, thanks.

but they also have styling... some of these other hi-po cars look butt ugly and well tons o power or not i won't drive an ugly car

Ah, I see. for example: lots of people may not like the WRX, but the ProDrive bodykit the WRC WRX has is pretty fricking cool (IMHO). It makes it look like a space car

"Nissan Sentra Spec V, Lancer Evo7 or Impreza WRX STi" any of these cars can have just as many problems. With mass production cars, you run the luck of the draw. I have had no problems with my Cougar so far. Knock on wood. You generalize a lot!! You could have said no, I there are 4 other cars I would prefer to buy than another Cougar. Remember that these boards only represent a portion of these model car owners, and ones that have mods and are typically driven hard. I am sure there are more Cougar and Contour owners than these two boards combined that do not drive their cars hard or mod them and have little to no problems. I am like PuckPuck. I bought mine for the styling and handling and I am very happy with the horse power but would enjoy more. If there was a 2002/2003 Wings west style Cougar with 200 or 200+ HP, I would seriously consider a trade in. I am quite happy with my Cougar. I have friends that have had problems with Nissan's, and I have never heard of the other two, unless the Impreza is a Chevy. If that is the case, just look at the problems on Corvette boards!! Anyhow, I was asking weather you would trade yours in for a HP Cougar and didn't expect the Ford bashing. Hopefully you will get lucky and not get a reject...

Take no offense Dave! You just sounded a little bitter about the whole Ford name! And I just wanted to clarify that I am not someone who is disillusioned about my car being a nice looking but not too fast car w/ a few mods! So I should have said "I don't think my car is a Supra, but it's not a Yugo either!" And if you know of 4 other cars you would rather have and can afford then go for it!
