The Mercury Mystique, a compact car produced by Ford Motor Company from 1996 to 1999, was a rebadged version of the Ford Contour, sharing its platform and many of its components. It was aimed at a younger, more style-conscious audience than its Ford counterpart, boasting a sportier design and available features like a sunroof and leather upholstery. The Mystique was offered in three trim levels: GL, GS, and LX, with each offering a different level of standard equipment. Power came from a 2.0L Zetec four-cylinder engine, producing 125 hp. A 2.5L V6 engine, offering 170 hp, was available in the GS and LX trims, providing a more spirited driving experience. A sleek, aerodynamic body design, with its distinctive rounded headlights and sloping roofline, contributed to its sporty personality. The Mystique provided a comfortable and roomy interior for its size, with a well-equipped dashboard and decent legroom for both front and rear passengers. While it wasn't known for its driving excitement, it delivered a decent balance of comfort, handling, and fuel efficiency. Unfortunately, the Mystique was plagued by reliability issues, particularly with its engine and transmission, which hurt its reputation and contributed to its early demise. Despite its shortcomings, the Mercury Mystique offered a stylish and affordable entry into the compact car market, particularly appealing to those seeking a fashionable and comfortable ride. However, its limited lifespan and reliability issues ultimately hampered its success, and it faded from existence after the 1999 model year. The 1996-1999 Mercury Mystique Workshop Service Repair Manual stands as a valuable resource for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who wish to maintain and repair this vehicle, offering detailed information on its systems, components, and repair procedures.
