1998 Mercury Mystique LX review from North America
"This car is a good driving, but unreliable bucket of bolts"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went at 13,000.
Brakes make very loud noise, even after replacement.
Speedometer failed at 10,000.
General comments?
The car handles well and is fun to drive.
The reliability of the car has been very poor.
The extended warranty does not seem to cover very much.
