| Yes, unfortunately I must be shaped like an alien, because my last car (2000 Focus ZTS) had manual lumbar and it was terrible also..I really wish Ford would take the good things its other companies have (like Volvos seats, they are amazing) and let them "trickle" down into the rest of their line. Ill suffer, its only uncomfortable after an hour. | |

Check to see if the lumbar support is truly gone with the knob adjusted to the minimum position. The seat could be assembled wrong. If it is, it can be fixed. Skip G. |

Its down all the way, in fact I find the worst part of the seat is the upper portion , it seems too narrow..it actually squeezes my shoulders together..but the mid section of the seats including the side bolsters are fine. (And no I am not a really BIG guy, I am 6ft 1 200Lbs) Thanks for the reply though it makes me feel welcome. Heres an unrelated question...has anyone ever had tracking issues with their Cougars? What I mean is being on nearly level roads and having to correct the path of the car because IT wants to go to the right or the left(not really bad, but annoying enough to notice)? I have this issue and its going to be addressed at my first service. i have already checked tire inflation to be sure that they are even all around, and that checks out fine...so it must be suspension or steering related. |

I agree about the uper portion of the seat back. It is a little narrow, and does take me a little while to relax into it. I think that they should have done a little better with the ergonomics when designing the cat. It does seem to have broken in a little over the years though, and I've been ok on long trips (vacations, etc..). Skip G. |

I guess it all depends on the person. I'm perfectly fine with the seats in my C2. Very comfy even in the upper portion of the seat back. Love the tight supportive fit the seats have. David |

| i just took delivery of my new kitty....in my last car i had REALLY nice sheepskin covers...i tried putting them on my new car and guess what??...they don't fit.....here's my question..are seat covers available for the cougar??? | |
|
aussy: Here are a few sheepskin seatcover vendors that I found in the last few pages of the December 2001 Car and Driver magazine. I'm sure that you can find many more using a web search engine such as Google. www.rmsheepskin.com/mercucou.htm www.sheepskinexperts.com/index.cfm www.autoanything.com |

| What a coincidence! My last sheep had really nice Naugahyde. | |
|
lmigliore: What's the matter with you? Don't you know the difference between a Sheep and a Nauga? You've obviously got to get out of the house and visit the zoo more often. |

Hi there I am the Happy Owner of a 2000 Loaded Cougar. I bought it after a friend bought his. We both have a leather interior. Both of us have had wear on the drivers seat cover near the side lumbar- The dealer has been great and replaced both our covers twice but I am now starting with FORD trying to find a long term solution. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks |
