Mercury Cougar OWNER RATINGS & REVIEWS
Matthew
Owensboro, Kentucky
Great for a single person or just two people.
I want to start off with saying that this car isn't a bad car by any means. Drives really nicely, sleek, compact, excellent gas mileage, and has truly held up well over the years of use. My fiancé and I haven't had a single issue with it -- until we had a baby. This is definitely not a family car. It only has two doors, so you must lean the seat back to install a car seat, put the baby in, and take out of the car seat too. The back seats are very deep bucket seats, so this is far from ideal with a car seat. Space was also nonexistent inside the car once a baby was in it. However, the trunk, while it looked tiny, managed to hold one convertible stroller and a pack and play!

Solid used car
The car is solid with a good body design and still gets good gas mileage. The car still handles quite well for its age. The electrical system has held up well. The steering and front end are still in great shape. This vehicle has had easy maintenance records, and there's room to work on the vehicle if needed. The interior has held up very well, considering the age of this vehicle. The design doesn't introduce any blind spots. Overall, we've been quite pleased with this Mercury.

It's surprisingly dependable for how cheap it is.
I bought my 1996 Mercury Cougar from someone online, and despite the age of the car, it's held up surprisingly well! Exterior-wise, the body has a slick, cool look to it that actually gets a few compliments. The Cougar runs and handles well despite its age and hasn't had any serious problems. As an older car, however, it's definitely a little shakier, has somewhat worse acceleration, and somewhat worse gas mileage. Also, I'm not a fan of the fact that it's a two door—letting people into the backseat is a pain. I'd call it a steady, dependable car but not a luxurious one, but reliability is what I wanted.
