1999 Mercury Cougar | Motoring TV Classics

The Cougar brought a balanced approach. It was at home in the city, but it was also quite happy hooning around a track. It was not perfect, however, as anti-lock brakes were optional, even on the more expensive V6. The other issue was the inability to use the parking brake when the cup holder was in use. My comments on the subject irked the then PR manager. That aside, the Cougar was a fun drive, and, arguably, a better car than the Probe. #mercury #throwbackthursday #motoringtv Be sure to check our website at motoringtv.com Check out our Facebook -   / motoringtv.ca   Check out our Twitter -   / motoringtv   Check out our Instagram -   / motoringtv   Make sure to subscribe and like if you enjoyed this content! - http://bit.ly/2yoEX4r 16mm Film Reel Sound Effect from freesound - https://freesound.org/s/198838/ (The segment originally aired on Motoring TV 1998 Episode #18)
