Man, this thing sucks. Always a ****ing problem. Tonight, it misfired for some reason and is running like puke. Its got all these damn systems, like a Ford Vtec, aka, IMRC that sucks but supposedly feels like "turbo boost [hahah yeah right]" above 3500 rpms and god damn drive-by-wire which is junk. Its got a 170hp 24v v6 with a stick but weighs 3000+ lbs too. It cant win.

After having this thing, the honda is so much more simplier and logical, it is like working on a peice of wood compared to the cougar and all the computer shit.


I :heart: my Hon-dah.

Well i just say a cougar broken down, completly dead, and it had less than 70,000 miles. They are crap, and I am so sorry you are living through that

My friend who is a girl had 1, it quit, bought another if caught on fire, so what does she do? She buys another one, and its on it's last leg.

LOL girls buy cars based on cutness. thats a cute car (no offense) by girl standards so I know a few girls with them and they all break all the time.

its definately a chik IMO, i have it blacked out so no one can see in, but no dudes keep looking in to see if its a girl.

its got 70k and I thought itd be a good DD... but the a/c broke, it got hit, the sunroof broke, now this... I hate it. Im going to replace the ignition tomorrow and take a look at the fuel pump, I guess theres issues there but ford doesnt recall shit (not the Firestone issue) :flush:

hehe black out so no one knows you are driving the thing hehe. +rep!

good luck. you should look for a replacement though!

yourinmyw0rld 04-29-2006 11:36 PM

sell it and get a RWD car like a 240 or something

Havok2k1 04-29-2006 11:42 PM

i had a 99 and it was nothing but problems. The car had 3 new alternators between 18k and 24k and when I got rid of it, it needed another one. Nevermind the other problems...

It def does make you appreciate a honda...

cleancivic 05 04-30-2006 06:08 AM

You know it! It is the biggest pos, but I can get it running right so I can sell it or trade it and get something for it. Maybe I can get 5g's for it if im lucky. Thats crazy when you think about an EM2 being worth about $9-10k and having a $3000 less MSRP.

amen!

Man, you gotta hear this shit. I got some new plugs and wires to cure the misfire at autozone. In short, the wires and plugs were not Motorcarft "quality" and the ****ing car is not firing right with the new plugs and wire set. Soooo, i have to take them out, put the stockers in, and go to the dealer and get a new DEALER set. WTF, This car is so god damn picky.

Yeah , back in 98 I had a 95 mercury mystique with the same engine... good ol 2.5 v6 duratec. I riced it out a little with exhaust and neons, lol. It was kinda quick, but I crashed it. Then I made the mistake of getting another one... OMG nothing but problems, and it died a long time ago... some exhaust manifold/catalytic converter issue. I liked the way the engine sounded, though.
