My wife and I purchased this vehicle in 2004. The car has good interior and the exterior is nice too, it also handles very well and has plenty of power for a 4cyl, when its running that is. The car now has 80,000 miles and we have replaced three window motors and its broken again, the fan speed for the heat and air only works on hi or off, at 60,000 miles we had to have the a/c recharged, replaced a vacuum hose that has a small leak again, now the timing belt is broken. I am at the point now that I really don't want to spend any more money to fix it. I think its time to trade for a Chevrolet product.

I have a 1997 Mystique LS also. The 1999 version seems to track a bit better than the 1997. Very secure handling at all speeds and the 2.5 liter Duratec is very strong and smooth. I travel a lot at freeway speeds and average 27-29 mpg which in my view is pretty spectacular for an automatic V6 powered sedan. One caveat.. my car is not very quiet. Lot's of wind and road noise. I noticed that in 1999 Consumer Reports rated the car as well as the Accord and better than the Maxima. The negative reported was under 'integrity' (seals, fit and finish). In this area the 1997 made in Mexico is better. Still if you enjoy driving this is a pretty slick ride.
Quality is job NONE

I should have read Consumer reports before purchasing this car, they summed it up "Avoid this Car". So far the Dome light has dropped on my head, the A/C duct was thrown at me, and the Insulation wont stay put under the dash. Neither will the transmission fluid, it has sprung multiple leaks and the dealership says this is normal. There are over a dozen recalls on this thing in the last two years. My Mitsubishi only had two in seven years. Also, The owner manual doesn't match what is in the car completly.
Best sedan in it's class

This car is the size of a Volvo S40 or Passat but doesn't get the credit. I've had this car and have only done regular maint. Very fun to drive with V6 and manual tranny and great handling. Only complaint is we can't buy the new Mondeo in the US.
Always look forward to driving.

I've now had this car for five years and nearly 80k miles. At the time it was the only American made sedan I could find with a manual transmission, ABS and a V-6. I pretty much got every option; the power seat, sunroof, traction control and split folding leather seats have definitely come in handy. I always enjoy driving it, although it does have some limitations: particularly the drink holders and road noise at highway speeds. Very little has gone wrong that wasn't fixed under warranty (knock on wood) so I've been quite pleased with that. Generally, it's a much sportier and more comfortable car than you'd expect for the price and I am very happy with it.
