Faults:

Oil 'Using' not real burning, but using it. Around 97k miles.

Transmission is slow, since I got it.

General Comments:

When I got the car, I believe it was all stock. Minus the radio, the 6 CD tray in the trunk, and possibly the speakers (never looked.)

Its surprisingly quick. Handles very nicely, and is just a great ride.

Its mine, and I refuse to EVER get rid of it.

Faults:

Overall, I have encountered very few cons of this vehicle. However, there is a very small crack in the dash; on the passenger side below the airbag. It is approximately 1.3 cm. In length, you really have to look hard to see it.

That is really the only thing that is wrong with this vehicle.

Oh, the "Check Engine" light appears on all the time. When I accelerate it sputters very, very slightly most of the time it does not do that. I need to get a tune up on it and that should solve the conflict.

General Comments:

I believe this is one of the best vehicles ever produced by Ford Motor Company. My cougar can shut down mustangs; brand-new off of the showroom floor! This car will go, I mean really go for being nine years old and all.

All the power options are still in working condition.

Faults:

To the best of my knowledge, the transmission was swapped out about 2 weeks before I purchased this vehicle. Also, at times, the transmission seems to hesitate shifting from first to second gear, especially, when getting into it.

I have a braking problem that I need, still yet, to figure out. It may have something to do with the anti-lock braking system.

I've had to replace the mass air-flow sensor.

I also have surface rust starting behind the driver's door.

Leather driver's seat has started to tear in the bottom left-hand corner.

General Comments:

For having so many miles, she will get up and go. I am seriously impressed with the power this car actually has. I can sit and power-brake the rubber off of the 15 inch rims, or just let her loose from a dead stop, and I will still get some rubber.

However, the boys over at Team Ford shouldn't have reduced the top speed to 107 mph. If your going to put a high performance engine in a car, let her run free!

Except for the few problems, this is an excellent vehicle. I am very pleased with the ride, the power, and the fact that all of the power stuff still works.

Great fuel mileage also, for an eight-cylinder.

Faults:

Nothing major has ever happend to this car. Just the usual repairs on a car.

General Comments:

This is the best car that I have ever owned. If they still made them I would go out and buy I new one right now. It has the best seats and the engine is built very well. I would not trade it for the world.

Faults:

Mass air flow sensor. Transmission leak.

General Comments:

Great power with the V8 and handles wonderfully. leather interior is very comfortable and roomy and the moon roof and traction control tops it all off especially with the traction control having a shut-off switch.
