The 1999 Ford Cougar is a sporty two-door coupe that marked a significant departure from its predecessor. It was based on the Ford Mondeo platform, sharing its underpinnings with the European-market model. The Cougar's sleek, aerodynamic design was a far cry from the more traditional styling of previous Cougars, with a low-slung profile, sweeping lines, and a distinctive "cat-eye" headlamp design. The interior was equally modern and driver-focused, featuring a well-appointed cabin with comfortable seating and a driver-centric cockpit. The Cougar offered a range of engine options, including a 2.5-liter V6, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, and a high-performance 2.5-liter V6 with 170 horsepower. This latter option, known as the "Duratec" engine, was designed for performance and fuel efficiency, providing a compelling driving experience. The 1999 Ford Cougar was equipped with a comprehensive array of features, including a standard anti-lock braking system (ABS), air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a choice of audio systems. It also offered a selection of optional equipment, such as a sunroof, leather seats, a premium sound system, and a sport suspension package. While the Cougar was never a sales sensation, it garnered a loyal following among those who appreciated its combination of sporty styling, comfortable interior, and reliable performance. It was praised for its handling, agility, and responsive engine, making it a fun and engaging car to drive. However, its lack of rear legroom and limited cargo space contributed to its relatively low sales figures. Nevertheless, for those seeking a stylish and affordable sports coupe, the 1999 Ford Cougar remains a compelling option.
