Nope -- Contique build quality was too spotty. I had a Mystique for a
couple of years -- great engine and gearbox, and even the soft Mercury
suspension wasn't bad, but something was *always* breaking. I defended it
until the fuel tank started leaking.... I also got to know enough other
Contique owners with similar problems to know it wasn't just mine. Fun to
drive, and damn near invisible to traffic radar, but just too much pain to
live with.
