Review of the 2005 Mercury Monterey

  • Intended to provide a luxury minivan experience, the Monterey is both safe and stylish, but key omissions on the features list, an underachieving V6 and a general lack of refinement, make it less appealing than upscale vans from Chrysler, Honda and Toyota.

  • Safety

  • Pros

    Extensive list of safety and convenience features, sharp interior design, torquey V6 engine.

  • Cons

    Unimpressive fuel economy numbers, less horsepower than top competitors despite larger engine, lacks overall refinement and a few key features, expensive compared to similarly equipped peers.

  • What's New for 2005

    Heated and cooled leather seats with perforated suede inserts are now standard on the Premier, while the AdvanceTrac stability control…

Vehicle: 2005 Mercury Monterey Convenience 4dr Minivan (4.2L 6cyl 4A)

We have owned this van for almost 4 years. It has been a purchase. It is comfortable on long drives with great features such as DVD, Heated/Cooled Seats, and fold down rear seat.



Quality minivan-fun to own

Vehicle: 2005 Mercury Monterey Convenience 4dr Minivan (4.2L 6cyl 4A)

My 2nd mini-van; very functional and fun to drive. 2 minor complaints; storage bins not deep enough, lift gate light not automatic. Use the folding 3rd row seat several times a week. DVD player great when having children on a trip. Sorry they stopped making them.

Vehicle: 2005 Mercury Monterey Convenience 4dr Minivan (4.2L 6cyl 4A)

Purchased 9/2005 due to Friends/Family Pricing. MSRP over 33,000 but with 6,000 in rebates and Family pricing, came to just over 23,000. With some 10,000 off list, MONTEREY is an EXCEPTIONAL value ! Stable, quiet and smooth rider. Well appointed interior. Wood/chrome trim; dash chrome analog clock a "showpiece". With its long list of standard features, choosing Monterey over Freestar seemed like a "no-brainer"; and compared to Toyota and Honda we saved thousands due to rebates/pricing not to mention just being able to afford a vehicle of this caliber ! This replaced a 2000 Ford Windstar and no comparison to the comfort and "luxury" feel of the Monterey. Really like this one !!

Mercury is going to have a tough time convincing buyers that buying the Monterey minivan this Fall is any different than buying a Ford Freestar. There gonna have the same problems with the Mariner SUV...
