1996 Mercury Mystique GS review from North America
"After all the problems, it's an alright car.. goes from point A to point B..."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission went at 44,000 miles.
The engine went at 58,500.
Replaced the timing belt and all the recalls. It runs well now and hope it continues.
The car's engine is defective, will need to be replaced. I paid $2,300 for labor only.
