Dislike? not fast enough but that can be fixed, not rwd or awd. and then don't make them anymore :(. It was built on a dead platform but they didn't want to step on the toes of the mustang, which is why they never came out with the Cougar S. Which was an AWD 200-220hp version of the Cougar with fancy trim like a lip kit and a 3.0L engine. That would have been awesome. But then again you can always build your own version of it too. Now I'm just rambling on. It's pretty dam good in the corners, as Jeremy Clarkson put it "it's no slouch" So it has decent acceleration, good braking and awesome cornering. Looks very hot inside and out, Doesn't need too many repairs, just general maintenance, for 10 years old not squeaks rattles etc. Easy maintenance for how hard I drive it, great gas mileage 30-36 highway, and 25 ish city (depending how hard you push it). It's lots of fun to drive, the pedals are placed perfectly for heel-toe downshifts, everything's in the right place. Defiantly a drivers car which is why it grows on you.

Everything about it i love, the only thing about it is the acceleration is a little low. I want to do some work on it. It hasn't needed alot of repairs but it's a very solid car. Gas mileage is very good for a V6 and maintenance is very easy. It's a very fun car to drive as well.

I adore this cute thing. So what if this car has a V6 engine & accelerates fast? I've heard things like, "It's a guy's car, blah blah blah." I'm a girl & I drive it. I love it. It's nice to be driving around in the summer with the mini sun roof open & I am so glad there is a built in, CD player that came with the car because, although, the car has a radio system in it, I dislike what radio stations play & because I don't have control over what I want to listen to. I bought this as a used car & it is in great condition, except for the battery so I had replaced it with a new one. I love the color of the car too. It says it is maroon in color, but it looks more red to me. So yes, the end.

Loved the Cougar...after I learned how to drive it. It had great power, was sleek, and was pretty easy to take care of. I especially loved the color of my Cougar! Extremely fun to drive as a late teen!

Very exciting car. Very quick for what is a rather small engine. (2.5L V6) Handled really well, easily controlled, quick steering, VERY strong brakes. Neat look with the bubble shaped headlights and taillights.
