1999 Ford Mystique

The 1999 Mercury Mystique is a compact sedan closely related to the Ford Contour, known for its practicality and European-inspired design. It offers two engine options: a 2.0L inline-4 cylinder engine that produces 125 horsepower and a more powerful 2.5L V6 engine generating 170 horsepower. Transmission choices include a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic, catering to diverse driving preferences. The Mystique is available in two trim levels: GS and LS, with the latter featuring more premium amenities such as leather seats and a power driver’s seat. In terms of dimensions, it measures 184.8 inches in length with a 106.5-inch wheelbase and has a curb weight of approximately 2,805 pounds. Fuel economy is also a selling point, with the GS model achieving 20 MPG city and 28 MPG highway, while the LS variant provides 18 MPG city and 26 MPG highway. Notably, the Mystique is appreciated for its handling dynamics, although it features a somewhat cramped rear seat.
