I voted ?Yes?.
It's been a great car.
Only thing I can complain about is this - with allot of the problems we may experience with these cars, Ford really does have crap for tech support.
Without this web-site, I was ready to trade it in and really take a big loss due to the trade value.

I found this site and did some of my own fixes and told the dealership somethings which needed to be looked at.
After that the car was back to normal.

This web-site has changed the way I felt about this car...
I was ready to drive it off a cliff - if it would have made it to one without stalling.

Now I am proud of my little Mystique and feel great about it.
She may not be as Sporty looking as the Contour SVT but it's a Sports Car in disguise.
I surprise lots of people with what this little car with it?s AXT can do.
I?m just envious of you who have a MTX!
