You may want to do some research on line concerning that model. Lots of reading.

What is it that I'm looking for? I read some stuff on Edmund's and some other reviews and I didn't see anything glaringly bad about the car. I'm assuming you mentioned this because there is something negative about the car and I appreciate the advice. A little more specific information would be helpful. My daughter wants the car and if there is a major issue with it I would like to know about it.

Thanks,
Russ

My ex had one. Total POS. Transmission, window motors, leaky sunroof......It was a 2000 if I remember correctly.

Edmunds reviews are some insight.

The newer ones seemed to be better.

Dorado-Thanks for the info, I will check out the links. She really wants a 2002, maybe they fixed some of the issues from model year 2000? She is really dead set on the Cougar but if they are POS I am not about to let her buy one.
