    There's one that parks at my work parking lot occasionally and it actually looks pretty sharp.

      They have decent acceleration out of the box but that's it. They are a plow in the handling dept and just like <u>nearly</u> every Ford car in that vintage, Coil springs break quite regularily. I don't have an opinion on the looks. It doesn't do alot for me but it doesnt repulse me either.

              I bought and sold one this last summer. It wasn't a bad looking car, and it came well optioned. Acceleration was less then amazing, but not bad when compared with the civics and things like that in the same price point. Only thing I do know is once you start getting into neat parts, they cost you an arm and a leg. Just because there isn't as many people out there modifying them as there are the Hondas and such.

                      A co-worker of mine has a Mercury Mystique (with the same motor) and blew out his spider gears on the first launch of his car on track day.

                      They call me, old man...
