Very happy with this truck so far. 101k
and counting, I bought it used and was
definately a good deal. The market is
flooded with explorer's which hurts the
Mounty's value as well, so you can get
quite a deal.

Our experience with this suv has been
enjoyable so far it has many many
neat features of luxury and comfort for
the driver. Not to big but big enough to
be usable. we like it so far.

When I turned 16 in the fall of 2001,
my parents bought me a white 1997
Mercury Mountaineer. I feel in love
with the car immediately - something
about being a new driver and having
your own car. That car fit me
perfectly. It was gorgeous,
comfortable, and I felt safe in it.
But early in March of 2003, I was in
an accident. The other driver and I
were both fine, but my beautiful car
was not. It was totaled. The front
of my car hit the right side of the
other car - a small sedan. My
Mountaineer did exactly what it was
supposed to - the engine took the
entire impact, and the interior of the
car was untouched. I could not have
wished for a better car.

Consider the 97 Mercury Mountaineer as
one of the best cars I have owned.
Would buy another one if I could get as
good a deal as I did on this one.

I started out with my mind set on an
Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer, and the
salesman showed me this, and I am happy
that he did. I'm up to 128,000 miles
and the only substancial repairs I've
had is with the heater flap motor that
just went out. The dealership wanted
$800 to repair it, but I've gone with
an individual for about half. I've
enjoyed the comfortable drive, being in
sales - I practically live in my car,
it is also good for the long trips for
vacation. I'm looking to replace it
now, and am having a hard time finding
something different with all the bells
and whistles.

I love my Mountaineer. It has been a
great vehicle and I highly recommend
them to anyone who asks my opinion of
SUV's.

I have put 60,000 miles on this
vehicle over 4 years. I have owned 50
plus cars in my life. this has
everything I need and like. Great
reliability too. However, I did
upgrade shocks, exhaust, and tires to
improve performance. great seats and
power options.

There aren't too many vehicles that can
keep up if you accelerate in the 30mph
to 70mph range. While this truck is
very fast, with its grip on the road,
the only way to get rubber is by taking
a corner too fast. If you are stopped
with the engine running and the
accelerator seems to be stuck, it is
probably that your foot is on the brake
and the gas pedals at the same time.
Due to the closeness of these two
pedals, I have had this experience a few
times. It can be pretty scary because
the harder you push down on the brake,
the more the truck tries to lurch.
(Because your foot is also on the
accelerator too). This aside, this is
my favorite vehicle of all time.

We have owned our Mountaineer for 2 1/2
years and have really enjoyed owning it.
I love the power of the V8 and the
little bit of rumble that comes from it.
There are not many more options that
you can cram into a midsize SUV that the
Mountaineer does not have. The ride was
very rough until we put some new tires
on it and the ride is noticeable
smoother, but still not "smooth". We
have been talking about getting another
vehicle, but we can find no reason to
get rid of our Mountaineer.
