Vehicle Highlights

Mercury's Mystique is similar to the Ford Contour. The 4-door sedans have different front and rear styling but similar mechanical components. Mystique, which replaced the compact Topaz came in two models: base GS and plusher LS. A 125-horsepower, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine was standard; 170-horsepower, 2.5-liter V6 optional. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard with either engine, and electronic 4-speed automatic optional. Dual airbags, height-adjustable front shoulder belts, and 5-mph bumpers were standard. Antilock brakes and traction control (which works at all speeds) were optional.
