Speaking of joining the Dark Side... June 09, 2005, 01:32:38 PM Since she was tired of SUV fuel economy and size, we got my Mom a 2002 Mercury Cougar V6 Ultimate for a sporty, comfy and efficient daily driver. Moonroof, leather, side airbags (didn't know they came with that!) and a 6-disc in dash head unit. Gotta say, compared to any other small car, this Cougar kicks butt. And I think it looks real nice and normal these days, esp compared to a Celica or Scion or something. And the interior is so much better than a 2002 Mustang its downright scary...feels like a VW Jetta inside. Plus its red, so now I gots two red Cougars. Holla! Quote Selected

NO low end punch, but they wake up at 3500 RPM's or so. If you have the auto I'd recommend throwing a tranny cooler in it. They seem real sluggish to shift in hot weather. I just picked one up for hers and I'm waitin for a nice weekend where nothing has been planned for me soI can put it in. Quote Selected
