1995 Mercury Mystique GS review from North America
"Reliable and fun car that can take a beating"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There haven't been many problems at all with the car. It has been the most reliable car I've ever had. I've had it for 6 years and have not spent over $1,000 on general repairs, which is very good.
Here's everything:
Tension coil on belt snapped.
Carpeting has started to come up.
Cup holder broke.
Vent directors broke a little.
Gas mileage has decreased.
Lost some power it seems.
New tires (which is expected after almost 10 years)
General comments?
I have found that the car can really take a beating. I've been in 2 fender benders and a very large wreck where my car got air time. You can't even see a scratch on it. It just won't dent. I did have to get an alignment after the wreck.
This car's power is OK for an economy car and the handling is great. After I got new tires on it, the handling was so much better. It maxes out at about 115 mph flatland.
I put in a new head unit and a sub woofer. The factory speakers are very good. I never had to replace them. I was amazed at the sound quality of them.
I am going to sell the car because it is getting almost ten years old and I don't know how much longer it's going to last.
