1995 Mercury Mystique consumer reviews

We owned two Mystiques, both the 6 cylinder, 5 speed manual transmission. Those cars would fly and cornered like they were on rails. They were perfect when the kids were younger. Last I knew, both are still daily drivers, as I see them on the road occasionally and appear to be rust free. They each had the thick, black undercoating which all cars should have today. I regret selling them, but they could no longer accommodate our growing family. Two of the best cars we’ve ever owned. The Ford Contour 4 cylinder on the other hand were a pile of junk. Mother and sister each bought one new and had a lot of trouble once they hit the 45,000 mile mark. Sister ended up selling hers to the junk yard when it was 6 years old, because even the Ford garage could not get it to run after changing TWO ENGINES.

I am a short 5'2" women and I keep hitting my head on the top of the door when I get inside. It runs terribly and idols rough. Mine has about 75,000 miles on it and has broken down twice in the last year. I have had to be towed home by AAA. 5 mechanics have looked at it and nobody can tell us what is wrong with it. It runs as if it has a ghost in the machine. Sometimes you drive it a long distance and it is fine. Other times you take it 3 miles and you think it will break down. DON'T BUY ONE. There is a reason why all 5 mechanics refered to it as a Mercury Mystake!!
