1999 Mercury Cougar LX 2.5 from North America
Summary:
Love this car
Faults:
Air conditioning keeps going out. they replaced the fan motor and it worked fine for a month then went out again yesterday.
Engine light comes on and the computer read outs show nothing wrong with car.
General Comments:
I love this car. Looks so great and sporty and gets up and goes. reliable car so far and a real pleasure to drive it. I hope the repairs stay at a minimum, but I have a feeling any car you get will bound to have some problems. you just have to take good car of them. I would recommend this car to any one except maybe families. the back sit is not acceptable to capable adults very easily much less a car seat and such.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

To fix the Engine light being on constantly I recommend using at a minimum 89 octane fuel. The car manual says that it only needs 87 octane, but if you use 89 the light will go off and the engine will perform better. At least that worked for mine.
