1997 Mercury Mystique review from North America
"I have always had good luck with this car. Great car all the way!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blow fuse at about 170k, and also new rear tires.
Whole cooling system at 190k.
Front tires and shocks at 205k.
I go through a whole entire brake job every 6 months because of my job. I'm an Auto Parts Driver.
General comments?
I like the reliability on this car. I have read some other reviews on this car, and others wrote bad reviews about this car and said that it's unreliable and i'ts junk. Well mine is nowhere near that.
It's also very fast for only a 4 cyl. This car flies on the highway, and this car handles a lot better when it's taken over a 100mph.
