2000 Mercury Cougar V6 2.5 V6 from North America
Summary:
Great car, a lot of maintenance
Faults:
With in the first two months I owned my car the synchro mesh for first gear, both shift cables, the alternator, and the radiator all went. Since that time I have also had to replace the fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel gauge censer, catalytic converter, and the battery. The mass air flow has also been cleaned out.
General Comments:
I have very much enjoyed driving my cougar. The handling and over all performance is incredible. Although there is still a hesitation I haven't been able repair yet. I find the seats are a little uncomfortable on long trips, but it was built for performance not comfort. Even with all the problems I've had, I still love my car! The gauge cluster, and interior lines are just as awe inspiring as the exterior. I'm always getting compliments on it's looks.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

The garage should have scanned the car's computer to see what fault codes were stored. This would have told them which components to replace.
