2001 Mercury Cougar consumer reviews

This car had one problem after the other. Its a 2001 and unfortunately, I didn't even get 100,000kms out of this car, because it had severe problems with the transmission and it was deemed not worth the money to fix it. (Not to mention problems with the brakes, and electrical features- such as speakers, CD player, air conditioning,etc.) This car cost me big time!

My mom had a 2001 Cougar that was custom from the factory. It had everything but the sunroof. Either way it was a looker. It had these awesome looking chrome rims with the Cougar emblem, it had a four disk CD changer in the trunk and a cool overall design. Unfortunately my mom's Cat got clipped on the side one day while she was on her way to work. The repairs never made it exactly right again. The center console would vibrate. Then my folks moved to a town that was a further drive for my mom. So they traded it off for a new Taurus. I know that my mom still misses that car. It was gorgeous and it was immaculate.

Bought this car previously owned and its exceeded my expectations. Everywhere I go people constantly comment on how beautiful the car is. In addition to the sporty design inside and out, the cars overall performance has been great too.

This car (bought new) has been in the garage more times then all of my preowned cars combined. It actually would have fallen under the lemon law if I would have pursued this last year! Pretty much everything has been replaced - many things replaced twice. Still dealing with transmission problems after 1 new transmission then 1 rebuilt. Even the dealership has said numerous times that this is the worst Mercury ever built and anyone who has one has so many problems with it!
