2000 Ford Mystique

The 2000 Mercury Mystique is a compact sedan that represents the final model year of this line, known for its European-inspired handling and design. It is equipped with a 2.0L inline-4 gas engine, producing 125 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and featuring a front-wheel drive layout. In terms of fuel efficiency, it offers an EPA-rated 21 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway, achieving a combined mileage of 25 MPG. The vehicle measures 184.6 inches in length, 69.1 inches in width, and 54.5 inches in height, catering to compact sedan standards. However, the Mystique faced challenges in the market, struggling with sales due to its size and higher pricing compared to competitors like the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable. Notably, it lacks advanced safety features such as side-mounted and head airbags.
