My first car was a Ford Sierra GT. It was coo. Got it for a good price. last August I bought this: It's a Ford/Mercury Cougar, 2000 model, 2.5 V6 engine. Hope it's gonna last for the next ten years or even more. Got it for a good price as well with 27,300 km. Modifications so far: Stainless steel left/right exhaust 18" rims black side markers tinted side and rear windows lowered 30mm racing brake discs and pads K&N 57i performance kit the bodykit came with the car already I know it's ballin (unlike myself really) but if I bought a VW Golf it would have been more expensive, so I went with the Cougar. The problem with Ford's is that they lose way too much in value too quickly.
