#694 of 697 Snow by lmigliore Mar 28, 2003 (8:13 pm)
I didn't think New Jersey had bad snow; I used to live in New Hampshire, which has enough snow to satisfy anybody. New Jersey is good for black ice; I don't know anything that steers on black ice including Jeeps.   Anyway, the front-wheel drive Cougars are as good on snow as any other front-wheel drive cars, which means that you're better off with good snow tires. In my New Hampshire days, I used Semperits, which may not be available anymore. I could climb up ice floes with those things on my Scirocco.
#695 of 697 Thinking about buying by tthfairangl Nov 04, 2003 (3:24 pm)
I am thinking about buying a '99 Cougar and I was just curious what everyone thought about it, the dealer wants no more than 7000 and I get free oil changes for the time I own the car, what do you think?? Is it a good deal?? If not, I am looking for a sporty lower priced car, any ideas about that if you think that the cougar might not be a good idea??
#696 of 697 Buy it if you like it by lmigliore Nov 04, 2003 (8:18 pm)
I have a '99 (V6, manual transmission, sport package) which I bought new. I only have about 36K miles on it. The clutch interlock failed twice, which made me get up a gang to push start it. Recently, the oxygen sensor failed which brought up a light on the dash that cost $700.   The car steers and stops well. I have Michelin Pilot tires which are far better than the factory rubber. Rear visibility is limited. The price is right. Buy it if you like the way it feels.

That sounds like a lot of money for that year Cougar. But, the most important question is how many miles are on it?
