I have had no problems at all (fingers crossed) with this vehicle with the 24 valve V-tec 6. A bubble formed the size of a quarter on the dash, but I it did not justify ripping out the whole dash (recall item)unless they could eliminate the Ford rattle (beyond mechanics ability and hearing problems). Will replace original Goodyear tires next week only because of the severity of winter driving.

I have a 1999 Mercury Mystique Ls. This cars ride is very cushy, from the very soft but supportive leather seats and great shocks. All of the dash buttons are easily acccessible, and very easy to understand. The styling of the interior and exterior is very nice, not cheap looking like quite so many others. This car looks like it'd be more money than it actually is.

Dashboard from hell

My first week found the keyless trunk release inoperative. After that it was downhill. Window rattled, dashboard rattled. It took two visits to repair the window and 2 years to replace the dash( after 3 visits). Now one and a hal years later the dash has warped again and Ford won't stand behind the repair because the warranty is out. Too bad they don't recognize a design flaw when they see one. How many of you have air deflectors coming out of your Dashes?

'99 LS...has the a 5-spd. Beefy tires add a whole new world. Handles smoothly. There's no hesistation when shifting or getting gutzy with the powershifts! I agree the trunk has an odd opening, you just gotta know how to manuever items well to utlize the space! Rear seat is for small adults & kids only. The leather seats are definately sweet! Definately comfortable and cradle you as you play. My car is equipped with ABS and I have a sunroof that allows the hot air to escape and the sunshine to beam! Gas mileage averages to be 22MPG. I recommend this car to someone who has the need for 4 doors & definately likes to have fun.

I've had more major repairs than I can count...and I've heard from multiple mechanics "That's only happened because of this model". Some repairs that were Mystique specific: timing- belt went at 108,000...supposed to last to 120,000, transmission rebuilt at 5 yrs due to the way the drive shaft kit (?) was made, complete brake system overhaul at 6 years, oxygen sensor issues ($600) at 8 years..the list goes on. The dash warping is ridiculous. can barely see over it now and the defroster only works if it's on full blast for 20 minutes. Overall, it gets me from here to there, & I can fit a lot, but it's not the high safety-rated car I thought, since i'm on the side of the road 2x a year.
