1997 Mercury Mystique GS review from North America
"Garbage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Doors leak, leaving the floor wet and growing mold, and ruining the carpet.
Rear light assembly leaks, causing the same problem in the trunk.
Stalls just after start up when it's cold.
General comments?
Handling is frighteningly bad around corners, feels as if it's drifting off the road.
Transmission is constantly shifting up and down for no reason.
This car is a cheap piece of crap, but what did I expect from Ford????
