The FORD COUGAR (1998-03) 3DR COUPE 2.0 16V 130 is a four-seat, three-door sports-style coupe, rather than a practical family hatchback or SUV. In the UK used-car market it is now an older, relatively uncommon choice, appealing to drivers who want distinctive looks and a more engaging feel without buying a modern premium coupe. mycarcheck.com has recorded 24 look-ups covering 16 different VINs, so this is a modest sample rather than a full picture of all surviving cars. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £600, average recorded mileage of 104,000, and about 4.5 previous keepers. The average annual mileage is just 3,000, suggesting many examples are used sparingly. The Cougar suits couples or solo drivers wanting an affordable weekend car, though rear-seat access is limited. Its sleek styling and 2.0-litre petrol engine make it a distinctive alternative to mainstream family cars and period rivals such as the Vauxhall Calibra.
