1996 Mercury Cougar XR7

Pros: Comfortable and Powerful!

Cons: No longer in production.

The Bottom Line: The 1996 Mercury Cougar XR7 is infinitely preferable to the front-drive roller skates that pass for luxury sport coupes today!

Review: I buy and sell automobiles for a living. For the past several years I have leased a brand new mid-size sedan every two or three years. With automobile lease rates and residuals becoming less desirable every year, last year I decided to "curb" the best...

Pros: rides nice, looks great, lots of power, all of the options.

Cons: Rear wheel drive.

The Bottom Line: I would buy if I had to think about it again, just buy good winter tires.

Review: I love my Mercury Cougar XR7. My problem I have is finding a car that I like after owning this car. It has a V8, leather bucket seats, power everything, spoiler, big back seat, reclining power seats. The only thing I changed was the stereo. I would...

Pros: Good poor mans "luxury" car

Cons: Upper intake issues

The Bottom Line: Solid car, extremely good value.

Review: I bought my Cougar about a year ago for $3900 with 64k miles on the 4.6l (3.8l is garbage--unless you like changing gaskets). I drive it hard and get ~22mpg on the highway, city around 20mpg. Great car, especially for the money. I like the styling, ...

Pros: well built,the v-8 is the only way to go .Interior is nice ,sharp car

Review: I bought the vehicle wrecked with some front end damage.I like the body style , leather interior ,handles like a sports car but rides nice also.I wasnt sure about the rear wheel drive but so far i like it ,Winter is coming though will probably park.I Hav ...
