Ford Cougar (98-02) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Front-wheel-drive Cougar is built on the underpinnings of the excellent Mondeo which ensures it is good to drive and compared to many coupes, has a reasonably generous amount of space. It's great value on the used market, even if its looks aren't as impressive as they once were but we'd have to point out that the Mondeo V6 has the same chassis and engine, even more practicality and is even cheaper to buy.

Running costs

Running costs are similar to those of a Mondeo, so it's pretty cheap in terms of servicing and insurance groups are quite low too. The V6 is a bit thirsty if driven hard but that's to be expected with this type of car. The bulk of depreciation has already been lost, so they won't lose much more value.
