Review

This car is a wonderful car that drives nicely. It is very safe in the winter. If you hit the brakes really hard on ice the car automatically turns off.

looks perfect. wrecked 3 times (T-boned each side and front end into a ditch once. No putty. New parts each repair). Everything works except the lumbar inflation in the passenger's seat. Has full electronics package. Leather interior in perfect shape.

What a rip off

Review

I should have known not to buy the car when I saw it being fixed at the dealership. All these brand new things they put in the car, and some of them even caused MORE problems. I was back at the dealership 5 days into owning it because the belt broke (and 3 more times broke since then). I have replaced this and that, and things keep going.What a frustrating vehicle to own. stablizer bar has broken twice, muffler - gone, brakes need fixing constantly, shocks and struts, gone. you name it, its broken. right down to the spring to open the trunk. broken. oh, and the gas milage is a joke.

Review

Pretty decent car, problems with reliability though. Ford really needs to improve their transmissions. It was rebuilt by previous owner at about 75 K miles, I got it at 100K and within a month it needed to be rebuilt again. Expensive too, they wanted $1500 BASE to fix it. I got rid of it while I could. Don't bother buying it if it has very many miles on it.

transmission, a/c kinda weak at time, horrible cupholder.

Review

i bought my 3.8L with 100,000 miles and with no ac - after going through half of the winter i realized there is no heat either. when i tried to get it fixed they said there was a leak in the head gasket that would cost me almost what i paid for the car. now starting the car is a problem because its probably burning oil(tons of smoke pouring out the exhaust and smells awful). temp gauge keeps fluctuating even after new thermostat was put in. it does poor in the rain and even worse in the snow.

Favorite Features

like the digital dash and the comfort of the leather. has great acceleration and good performance(except when wet out)

Suggested Improvements

mercury should make better head gaskets

Review

After the four tires were slit, at a restaurant, with only 750 miles on it. All went well. Extended warranty was a good thing to have when the Transmission went. No problem to get fixed. Recalls were done. No problem. Problem: 'sno go in the snow. Could not bring its self to go in the snow. That was the worst thing about it. Back seat riders felt like they were "floating"

Favorite Features

The Moonroof, 3.8 eng., and Digital readouts made it nice to drive.

Suggested Improvements

Odd thing: One of the mini lights in the front had to be replaced 5 or 6 times, while some never were replaced. Good thing they dropped that look

Tranny dipstick

Review

After seeing many mechanics, I was told that Ford put out the word that the dipstick is in error. People should fill tranny up to level to where it says ADD on dipstick, as in "Do not ADD..." This requires 2-3 quarts beyond crosshairs on dipstick. Good luck. Yes, tranny and head went out around 75k.

Favorite Features

Like the ABS, saved my butt several times in slippery conditions.

Suggested Improvements

Should make dipstick error more public.

Typical Ford/Merc

Review

Bought new in May of 95, noisy speedo, but no other problems until 80k when head gasket failed, but FORD REPLACED IT. Only Ford backs their vehicles like this as I have had GM and Mitsu cars and when the warranty is over with them, you are strictly out of luck. I also had trans failure @95K, 8yrs old. Had it rebuilt by reputable shop and I will now drive the wheels off this very satisfying, comfortable, powerful vehicle.

Favorite Features

Very quiet engine, and powerful. Nice interior room, just a satisfying car to drive.

Suggested Improvements

Should get more miles from orig trans, but all my friens with Chrysler minivans have trans that fail even earlier. Must be the trans axle design. SO MAKE THEM ALL REAR WHEEL DRIVE.

Review

I bought a car in 2000. It was only worth 3-4000, on the books. I have paid 11,700.00 so far to keep up the car. Mounts fall off, gase is guzzled down like a drink of water, electrical things do not work, just one problem after another.
