I was at one time looking at a cougar to, it comes down to what frenchblueC2, look through the forums and try to find a 01+ cougar
on a side note my ZX2 is over all nice veichle but compared to the cougar
Acceleration I find to be close. but the cougar pulls ahead by a small bit
- the zx2 may have less horse power and torque but its lighter by 549lb, I believe the cougar weight:power ratio runs 1:17 while the zx2 runs 1:18 (these horse power ratings are at the crank)
-size, the zx2 is smaller thats all that needs to be said
-Zx2 seats lack latteral support witch causes you to slide in corners while the cougar hugs you quite nicely. after market seats sujested if going to be taking corners fast
-The the zx2 is a nice handler, on par if not better then a tour/cougar
-I have never pulled less then 30 mpg on the ZX2
-ZX2 can be had cheaply with low miles ($6000 with 19000 miles) of course this is a base model.
- Ztech takes nicely to mods, not say that the duratec doesn't eitehr
Basically the Cougar is more of a car, but the zx2 is a nice sub if need be.
Has she looked into a FSVT or a ZX3 perhaps.
