New review

[366NBV]

A new review for the Cougar, not as favourable as I would have expected, the usual Capri references and a rather unfair and rather inaccurate dig at the Cougars predecessor too I thought.

Personally ill stick with Clarksons opinions (on both!)

I just want to say - for anyone who sees this post but not mine - that I was absolutely delighted by the review.

I actually can't criticise Jack for anything he said because he was honest about how he felt. "I don't like the looks, but it's prettier in person. And it should've had the ST200 motor because the chassis is great and could take far more power."

Criticism was generally leveled toward Ford, not the actual car per se, and Jack was an absolute gentleman. No sneering, no rolling of eyes. Just a plain honest review of a 26-year-old car.

All that said, Clarkson's review was back in '98, on one of the only two R-reg Cougars that ever existed. The landscape was different back then. What I'm thankful for is that Jack even bothered to review her at all! Ask 'Fast Ford' or 'Classic Ford' or any of those publications how they feel about the Cougar. Crickets.

Jack did us a service, and I respect that.
