| Actually the Cougar has been produced for 4 years. 99 - 2002. | |
| I know this isn't really on topic, but can someone tell me what the bolt pattern is on the V6 cougar. It looks like a 4x100 but I want to make sure that the rims I buy will fit. thanks to whoever knows. | |
| Not sure about the spacing dimension, but they are 4 bolt rims, and are the same on all Cougars, I4 and V6, standard and sport package. Also the same as on the Countour and Mystique sedans. I recently bought snow tires mounted on 15 inch steel rims for my V6 sport and they fit fine. | |

Rims Bolt pattern. 4x108 or 4x4.25 (same thing just not metric) nearly 50k and happy as can be.... |

| Just test drove one last night. I haven't had a chance to do my homework and get consumer reports on it. I loved the inside and outside. The sales guy that was with me was about 6'2" or 6'3" and he was sitting in the passenger's seat with his right leg on top of his left one -- and STILL had room to spare! It drove great, handled great. This one was a V6 automatic. I think I'd prefer the standard, but this one is my only option due to financing. Does anyone else out there have some more insight for me on this car??? | |

If you liked the car that much, go ahead and buy it. There's nothing wrong with the ATX version with the exception of its stoplight performance vs. the MTX. Unless you're like me, a stick driver for 40 years, it's a viable option. Good luck on the deal. Check this site for the retail and wholsale values of your prospective kitty. Skip G. |

In addition to the feedback here, you may also want to check out some of the other Mercury Cougar discusions in our Cougar Owner's Club. To start, here's General Maintenance and Cougar Care discussions. Also, here's a direct link to Edmunds' Used Vehicle Appraiser where you can see what the average cost of a 200 Mercury Cougar is in your region. Good luck, and please keep us posted on your purchase.  (Btw, this post has been re-edited, since another post slipped in before mine. Gustafsc- Thanks for your feedback.)

If you plan on buying a Cougar, I would forgo looking in Consumer Reports. I just received my 2002 new cars issue and they PAN the Cougar. They give it the worse reliability (black circle) rating possible. If you do resaerch the Cougar the rsults will not be pretty. But, as with myself, I could not pass up the styling. Very sharp. Good luck with your car shopping. |

If you really like the Cougar, and it is in your price range I would say buy it too. However, realize that you are buying a car that is considered to be among the worst vehicles in it's class. When it was a brand new vehicle it received good ratings, but the competition has just gotten so much better over the last 3 years.... For what it is worth I am going to keep my 99 Cougar until it falls apart. It is still a great looking car, performs well, and it is the only way I can get back my full investment. Later, Sheldon |
