General Comments
The Mercury Cougar is a wonderful car for those looking for a roomy sporty car with luxury. With its sister being the mustang there are a lot of aftermarket upgrades available. Also the cougar provides plenty of comfort and style for the driver. The v-8 engines are known to reach very high mileage without any notable problems. My 1988 Cougar XR-7 is very sporty, reliable, and comfortable. Currently there are over 122,000 miles on the odometer without any large ticket items being replaced or fixed. A very very good car.
