Red and another Mercury (her last).  This dude was fully loaded.  It had the full blown electronic dash.  I was initially concerned that it would be the first thing to go on the car, but it never gave a lick of problem.  The coolest thing about this car was the keyless entry with a keypad on the drive door.  We told the kids the combination and anytime we needed anything out of the car, they would love to go get it.  Performance was adequate.  As I said, this car had all the bells and whistles - when I was driving it home from the dealer after purchase, I got on the freeway and got it up to speed.  Then I started to hear this beeping sound.  It drove me nuts.  I was realy not happy about that.  I called the dealer when I got home and they told me the beeping was the speed sensor.  A novel idea that was really lame.  Anyway, that was the last time the speed sensor was on.  It had another feature where it would tell you the gas mileage you were getting instantaneously.  Not sure how it worked - probably based on manifold vacuum.  It was pretty neat in that when you were coasting downhill, you were getting about 100 mpg.
