I purchased this vehicle last year to commute (50 mi, ea way) this winter. The person I purchased this from was the original owner and indicated the car got 35 MPG and was maintenance free other than a brake job. It is a 4 cyl, with 5 speed manual gearbox. My 1st MPG ck indicated 35.5 which was 80% hwy, 20% city driving. The car runs and drives great. Extremely strong and smooth for a 4 cyl. The torque feels more like a big six which makes for easy driving. Handles like a sports car although it has more torque steer than other front wheel drives I've driven. The top of the dash was loose but some household glue has worked holding it in place. I highly recommend this as a used car buy.

At first it was a good deal. Low mileage, good price, the previous owner had kept up on all the scheduled maintenance. Six months later my timing belt blew out on the highway (yes, blew out) with about 55,000 miles on the car. Then power steering fluid began leaking and actually rotted out the sway bar bushings. So far I've spent nearly one third of what I originally paid for the car to have it repaired. Be careful!

I purchased this car in 2000 with 18K miles on it. At 50K I had to replace the Fuel Pump, Gas Tank as well as a couple misc. parts. At 80K I had to replace the Fuel Pump again... at a cost of almost $500.00 each. At 100K I had to replace the Serpantine belt because it was shredded. This car looks good, has zero power, but decent gas mileage. Frankly, I can't wait to get rid of it.
Very reliable; great value

1999 Mercury Mystique LS 4dr Sedan

I purchased this V6/5-speed LS w/70k and have added 34k over the last 2 1/2 years. Performance and fuel economy have always been excellent for this class. Vehicle has been very reliable; only been in the shop twice in that time for anything more than maintenance (A/C leak and Shifter Cable, $400 total). Fun & inexpensive to own and drive. I highly recommend (but try to get a '99 or 2000 Model, prior years were less reliable, I've learned)
