The acceleration is good. Car is fast by it self. Brakes are very quick, and can be the savior from an accident waiting to happen. Handling feels nice, not the best but you just love it either way. Build Quality is great. Beautiful Car. Gas is the only downside. And maintenance is great. EXTREMELY FUN CAR

Appearance-Very nice appearance package, great, state-of-the-art electronics, classy, but undeniably sporty Performance- the 4.6L in a smaller car is definitly a plus, the handeling is great with sport-suspension, and you can throw the back end out easily enough (thats a good thing lol), great pickup anywhere at anytime. I personally don't have ABS (which is kinda cool, kinda like an old muscle car) but I also don't have trac-loc which sucks Reliability and durability- great first car, safe, strong (as far as accidents), the car is always there unless there is a rare serious problem, just regular maintenance is required

1997 Cougar XR7 (30th Anniversary Edition) 4.6L OHC V8 Great Driver, Top Speed 120mph 20 mpg Fun to drive, i think it has a sleek design. the only bad thing is that ford doesn't make 'em anymore. there should be a comeback. hey, the camaro had one.

This is probably one of the most ridiculous things I've ever purchased, but I love it. It loves wide boulevards and highways. In terms of fit and finish it's coming apart a bit, but it's a 13-year-old car (a 1997 purchased in July 2009), and for my price range it's a great blend of performance and comfort. Just got it, so I can't say a whole lot about it yet. I'll probably have a whole lot to say after this winter! This car has the 4.6L V8, which is just a fantastic engine - it will probably long outlive the rest of the car!
