cougar ?

[ninestar]

Cougars don't seem to be that popular but I've never been one to follow too many trends. I'm a sucker for slick lookin' coupes. Am looking at buying a 2000 cougar. I've read as many reviews as I could about it but would like to hear some more local knowledge and experiences.

1. How is the power and handling ? Acceleration ?
2. More importantly, it's reliability ?
3. How hard is it to find parts for it and is it quite costly to repair/maintain ? (I heard tires are a bit pricey for it)

Thanks guys.
