1996 Mercury Mystique review from North America
"I would equal this car to... actually I don't think anything could be this bad"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My check engine light is always on.
My thermostat stuck causing overheating and a blown hose.
My rear lights fill with water.
My trunk leaks when it rains.
The car stalls for no apparent reason.
Both the starter and solenoid went bad and now I'm seriously considering getting rid of it.
The cheap plastics in the interior have started to come off.
The carpet came off.
The car has this annoying tick and not even the mechanic knows where its coming from.
General comments?
The car is comfortable and stylish.
However the car is sluggish and has way too much road noise leaking into the interior.
This car is proof that Ford/ Mercury have no pride in their products.
