I actually had a Mercury Mystique, 4 cyl, sister to the contour. I've had a battery go dead, spark plug and spark plug wires replaced, motor mounts replaced, sway bar replaced. about 4 tires replaced (I kept running over sh*t)... and the biggy, my transmission failed on mine. So now it is currently for sell. But besides those problems, it was a great handling car. I loved it, and your purchasing the SVT... gotta be better right? I think it is a great car to have...
