MyCarReview
This is a nice car. It drives smooth and is very reliable. It has great mileage.
Fun to Drive
The Mercury Mystique with the 2.5 V6 is a fun car to drive, own a new 2002 Dodge Intrepid and i perfer driving the Mercury. Performace is great especially for the price, excellent power and steering, this car is very perdictiable. I just wish it had 4 wheel disc brakes instead of the rear drum brakes.
Not too shabby
Just a solid and reliable car without much flar or excitement. Great mileage for getting around town. Consumers would have bought more if the colors hadn't been so hideous.
Grew up with one.
My mom bought our car in 2008, it's always been there for us and it always starts up. We've driven it to Florida, New Jersey, and Cali before. We live in NY. It gets excellent gas mileage and is really sporty for a 4 door. My mom got a new car and it's mine now it's my first car and I've been rocking it for 1 1/2 years. The only things we've had to replace is the blinker light in the rear back. We have the Spree model and its a great model. It's always there for me and has never stalled. I'm 6' 2" and I fit in it comfortably. I just don't like the outside look of it besides that its my baby.
Horrible Car
I bought this car when I was 16 because it was priced low and it had very low miles (65,xxx). Turns out this was a big mistake. This car has been nothing but a money pit. First off it is not an easy task to change oil in the 4 cyl. model. The oil filter sits up above some linkages making it very time consuming to get out. Second. Something was always wrong with this car in the 3 years I had it! First it had a leaky head-gasket next its catalytic converter insides clasped on its self and clogged the exhaust pipe. both were mildy expensive to replace. Finally at 95,000 miles the car blew a set of rings and has been a nightmare to get apart! This car is a maintenance nightmare!
