Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1971 Cougar.
The 1971 Mercury Cougar Overview identifies the vehicle subject, though the associated model complaint history is restricted to the years 1990 through 2002. During that later period, the highest number of complaints recorded was 521 in 1999, while the lowest fell to 1 in 1998. As a result, the 1971 model year does not appear within this specific reliability history, meaning its standing cannot be assessed using the provided complaint metrics.
