What Car? says
For It's a great-value, fine-handling coupe, and the V6 is quick
Against Its anonymous looks and the dull cabin hold back the Cougar's appeal
Verdict
An inexpensive way into a purpose-built coupe
Go for… 2.5i V6
Avoid… 2.0i 16v
- 1. Some Cougars have fallen into the hands of boy racers, so look for signs of accident damage
- 2. Only regular major complaint from owners has been with the air-con. Check it blows hot and cold
- 3. The cabin is not an especially inspiring place to be, but it's well put together
- 4. Make sure the cabin fittings aren't damaged, because parts are becoming scarce
- 5. Other than a few niggles with the suspension, Cougars are basically sound
