A one owner car purchased late 2006. Has one of the sweetest V6 engines I've known and terrific mileage at 20 city, 36 hwy. 4spd Auto sometimes seems soft, but no problems. Wiring harness had been replaced, oxy sensors in 04. Passes smog well above avg. AC has slow freon leak- when freon fully charged mpg drops to average 17/25. Without freon mpg goes back to 20/36 averages~ a "mystique mystery". Engine and trans mounts [rubber/liquid filled] had to replace together. Smoothness returned to like new, hope they last another dozen years. Overall a joy to drive, must be well maintained to stay that way. Excellent European style tuned suspension.
Great Value

I bought the 4cyl. version of the car new in Feb. 1995 to replace aHonda Civic after reading european reviews of the Mondeo (the eureopean version of the Contour/Mystique) and knowing that it was the European Car of the Year. I love how it handles, and its reliability. The only negative is the quality of the interior plastics. A Great value after 7.5 years and 90,000 miles.

1995 was the first model year, and I've had nothing but problems from day 1. I only have 86,000 miles on it and am ready to get rid of it.

wish someone would steal it and blow it up. big money pit. was in the shop for a total of a month and cost over $2000 to get it to run so we could get rid of it. i think i could probably sell my bike for more than this car is worth. DO NOT BUY ONE!!!

I HAVE DRIVEN A MYSTIQUE FOR OVER3 YEARS I BOUGHT HER USED. SHE HAS BEEN VERY RELIABLE I HAVE ONLY 2 COMPLAINTS ABOUT HER. SHE HAS A TICKEING NOISE WHERE THE INDICATORS ARE AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO GET RID OF IT. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE REPLACED THE POWER STEERING ONCE AND IT HAS GONE OUT AGAIN.

This vehicle has been trouble from the word go. While it is a nicely styled car the extremely poor mechanics of the car have been incredible. Just weeks after purchase it needed a battery. Then the floodgates opened 2 bad transmissions which were well over 1700 a piece.

I bought this car used, it was 18 months old w/ 30k miles back in 1997. I like it from day one for all the features (it is fully loaded except moonroof), smooth ride, 5-speed manual etc. I think the car put me through a bit more than usual maintenance: I had to change links on front wheels 3 times so far (they seem to go bad about once a year but don't change them immediatelly - this is clearly bad design, or cheaply made part), and the back wheels swaybar once. I also had the airflow sensor dead once so the car completely stopped (it was easy to change though). Also, I have a premium radio which about a year ago blew the front and rear speakers.
Great little car

This is a fun little car, "zips" around the city, easy to park, change lanes, etc. Very dependable vehicle. My interior is leather with sliding moon roof, premium sound system -- I just love it!

I am still kicking myself for buying this car!! Nothing but TROUBLE. This car has made me promise to not buy another Ford or Mercury!! Problems include (not to mention the recalls), air compressor, O2 sensor, EGR, transmission, battery cables, alternators- the list goes on. In additions, the inside is cheap. The cup holders are placed in a location that allows them to no doubt be broke. Oh, and the truck leaks and replacement parts will cost a month's paycheck ( $150.00 battery cables!)
good mileage, but.....

this is my "college car". i got a really good price on it, but have spent vast amounts on repairs. last summer it spent more time on a trailer or towtruck than under its own power. manual transmissions on these can be interesting, as almost all of them from what i have heard have the 1-2 or 2-3 grind at times, or a combination. also, gearbox is like peanut butter below F 20 degrees. on the other hand, my friend has the same car with 160,000+ miles and no problems.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2001 WITH 27K MILES ON IT. I'M THE SECOND OWNER AND THIS CAR HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I HAD TO REPLACE ALL THREE CATALITIC CONVERTERS. MY CUP HOLDERS BROKE. THE TRUNK LEAKS A LOT OF WATER ALL INSIDE IT WHEN YOU OPEN IT AFTER IT RAINS. THE CAR STALLS SOMETIMES AT LIGHT AND STOP SIGNS. SOMETIMES AFTER DRIVING IT, THEN TURNING IT OFF, AND THEN TRYING TO START IT AGAIN, I HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE BEFORE IT WILL START.
Reliable and comfortable

The car has been reliable over the years, needing only normal maintenance with an occasional change of tires, brake pads. When 6 years old it needed an overhaul of the exhaust system for about $1400. Now at 8 years old it just passed inspection of the exhaust with only 4 ppm.

Picked up this car almost three years ago at 74,000 miles. A great car up to 100,000 miles, then A/C went out and now the transmission is dead. Repair to transmission alone is more than the resale value of the car

Bought this car Aug 2003 for our daughter for just under $2000. Our mechanic (too late to cancel the sale) found that the timing belt was about to blow, the windows would not roll up and other things, for $1500. The steering belt went ($600). Found an anti freeze leak due to the radiator needing replacing, the oxygen sensor was bad, and more for $1200. Decided to have our daughter drive it till it died and then donate it. 2 weeks ago the car was hit in a parking lot and totaled due to body damage. The day the salvage company was supposed to pick up the car the starter went out. What a piece of junk.

Ok, bought this "gem" 3 years ago...within 2 weeks of having it, the tranny went on mine. Had to have this thing in and out of the shop. Had to replace belts numerous times...try three in 6 months. I know that this is a 10+ year old car...but come on...cannot wait to get rid of this hindrance of a car...oh, check engine light comes on all the time too!!

Fantastic depreciation for a fantastic car. Great buy used. Great handling. Holds up well in the south (VA). Expensive maintenance. 4 cylinder engine is fuel efficient and powerful. Almost free when used (almost). Will last forever. Be prepared to learn some do-it-yourself mechanics on this hard to work on car. No space in the engine compartment.
Don't recommend past 80,000

Very expensive to replace. After 80,000 miles it just gets worse. Nice pick-up, and good gas mileage. But you will spend more on maintenance than value.

This is an awesome car. The V6 purrs like a kitten when idling, yet growles like a lion at wide open throttle. It handles like it's on rails, yet rides very smoothly; you can easily see the European roots of this car.

I bought this car with 90,000 on the clock. It performs well and the 5 speed/6cyl combo is nice. The radio commited suicide, but it wasn't that good anyway. The real problem was the engine lost oil pressure and blew up 3 months after I bought it and it was inspected before I bought it. I found an engine with 27,000 and it has done well since then. The engine and install were close to what I paid for the car to begin with but still is a good commuter car and would be hard to replace even with the added expense. Ford needs to concentrate on building cars that will go 200,000 miles. The engine/trans sits on an easy to remove sub assembly, my main gripe is parts are expensive.

One owner car. Low mileage well taken care of over the years. Just spent about $800.00 in repairs. Runs good and looks good.

We've owned this car 8 years now and the body is sound. There is no air leakes, no water leaks. We had just one non- maintance repair so far and that was a minor one. I would recommend this car as a good used car for anyone!

I bought this car in 1996. Used vehcile with 27,000 miles on it. I currently have 172,000 miles on it and it is still going strong. A couple of recall issues - nothing major. The speedometer just quit working, this is the only thing I wish still worked. The carpet in my car doesn't fit all the way under the mouldings so it looks kind of cheap.

After throwing over $1500 at this car to try to get the spark plugs put in correctly at the dealership, I have given up on this car...everytime they install them, one of them ends up cracked and the car runs badly....the design and placement of the engine is very poor. Because of a previous Ford purchase and this car, I will never spend my money on another one of their products.
Fun, Reliable, but some recalls...

In 8 years and 82K miles, the only repairs I had to pay for were, (1) to clean out an EGR port after the check- engine light came on, (2), replace the factory radio, which lost its digital mind after 7 years and (3), replace oxygen sensors. However, it had been in the dealer shop under recall to replace gas tank, seat belt anchors, cat converter, fan fuse, and the entire under hood wiring harness (a huge job!) and, the water pump, under warranty.

We bought one of these fairly new, soon after our second son was born. Before I had it paid off, I was taking it in for $300-500 repairs almost monthly. A coworker I consulted started calling it the. Mercury Mistake. He was right. It was a nice-looking car, but after awhile, was besieged with problems. I pulled off the highway, close to work one day, and a big puff of smoke blew out from under my hood. That was the end of the Merc! I've not bought a Ford since then, but had great luck with two Chevy Impalas.

Few problems with this vehicle. Among the best of Ford products. Change the fluids and run the cheapest regular gasoline available. I only wish my experience with dealer service departments approached the level of competence of this sedan. Due to my satisfaction level with the product, I have often told friends, etc. that I would buy this car today if I was in the market for a vehicle. I had planned to purchase another this year, but Mercury has discontinued it-disappointing. Ford has become too politically correct to keep my business.
