Alright, sure, I "bashed" my Mystique...right. Why don't we keep the meaning of what I say to me. One, there's some other person on here, I cant remember the name exact, that has a whole web page on his Mystique, it's white. Notice how theres a fairly LARGE paragraph on things that he dosent like about the car, now are you going to track him down and totally bash him for bashing his car? Don't get mad at me for speaking the truth. The truth is that the Contour is not a very high-quality car, it squeeks, rattles, etc...the interior is made from low-quality materials, although the seat cloth is much nicer than other cloth-covered seats. There's alot about that car that feels cheap. Although there's alot on the car that much higher priced cars have like traction control and 10-way power front seats, it's still low quality. And for me, the back seat is way too small. The 6000 rides better and for Hockey, I end up driving alot, have you ever tried to fit 5 6' guys in a ConTique? It's not gonna happen. The 6000 is a much more comfortable car, has much higher quality, and can fit 5 people in it more comfortably...and the 6000 has a better exhaust note, nice deep and throaty (Does the Mystique even HAVE an exhaust note??) but all in all, theyre BOTH nice cars, and they both have their own distinctive personality. The 6000 is more luxury and technology and quality, the Mystique is more bare-bones sporty. I like 'em both
