hehe, welcome to the dark side of the Fords...sorry, couldn't help myself. I've had my Cougar for about 8 months now and here's the low down on my experience so far...

Day to day running of the cougar is not too bad. It's my daily driver and i average around 11.5-12ltrs (auto). Manual trans u should get a little btr. Normal service cost are about average. Parts though can be expensive (just changed my wheel hub and bearings) and that wasn't cheap. Mechanically the Cougar is strong so u shouldn't have a prob. Just try to source one that has low k's (below 100k if u can) and is well looked after.

Hope i've been of some help. Some of the other guys may want to add their 2 cents aswell.
