2002 Mercury Cougar Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners appreciate the Mercury Cougar for its performance, particularly the strong acceleration and handling capabilities. Many enjoy the sporty styling and interior comfort, and find it to be a reliable commuter car that holds up well over time. On the downside, some drivers mention it could use more power, particularly in the automatic version, and maintenance can be a bit costly. Furthermore, issues with interior repairs and parts availability have been noted."
GOODS: C2=Rare, Built well...for a ford...great stereo...for a stock one....looks great...Great gas milage....pretty fun...great trunk and seat room...Phenominal Handling Bads: AUTOMATIC, not that good acceleration, could have more of a growl to it
August 23, 2009its an auto so its not all that. doesnt need repairs hardly ever. as long as you maintain it properly. the exterior is pretty slick looking, the interior is just as nice. gas mileage is decent, 26 to 32 mpg, the car handles amazingly, so its a blast to drive, just slap on some toyo tires
January 2, 2010Good steering, bad turning radius, but handles very well on fast turns. Good pickup without the A/C, very comfortable and smooth on the interstate. Fairly decent gas mileage. Excellent braking. Gorgeous inside and out. Potenzas help the handling, cheap tires are too loud. Very fun to drive, especially with the sunroof open.

August 16, 2009Acceleration is solid with the stock V6 and 5-speed. Handling is great because of the short wheelbase and stiff frame. Braking is strong, especially in the turns. Styling on the outside is sporty and inside it is driver-oriented and simple.
May 31, 2008it is a good car and very good commuter does well on long trips to work and high miles bought mine with as long as you take care of them they will at least last over 200,000 miles.when i bought the car it had 132090 in november of 2012 now its at 253456 so very many miles in short period of time.it takes it well with good maintence
April 27, 2013Performance are very good between 4000-5000 rpm. This car is greatly built. Interior style is pretty nice, seems like a luxury coupe. Consume 12 l/100 km on city mileage and 8 l/ 100km on speedway. Maintenance parts are tough to find, so it's expensive.
April 29, 2011its fun to drive but it needs more power a3.0 supercharger
June 13, 2008Bought one with 123K miles on it and it ran great and had no problems, drove it for a week and a half and the engine blew up. Car needed suspension repair when I test drove it I made sure the deal knew it needed repair and got it fixed.
