General
Had a 1993 and found 2000 did not handle quite as well overall and MPG dropped between 1 and MPG. 2000 did away with locking gas cap and second key so glove compartment and trunk could not be locked from valet parking/etc.
It's an okay car
My family has had this for 12 years. I have to say, I'm surprised it has lasted this long with us. The engine is great. Very powerful and quick to take off. Will definitely spin a pair of tires off. But, the transmission was terrible from the start, and the interior sizing is terrible for a car of its size. It's like they crammed to much sound canceling material into it before they thought about how they were going to fit the seats into it with enough room for the passengers to be comfortable in it. Air is great, I like the fact that it is a climate control system. Radio is terrible. And the rearview mirror is placed entirely to low. I wouldn't recommend this car to really anyone.
Brake Problems
Car is dangerous to drive in the rain or when roads are wet. Brakes pull to right so bad it changes lanes in about 50 feet. The driver really has to pay attention. Mercury does not have a fix for the problem. In the snow a good driver has more control with the traction control turned off, however every time you start the car you have to reach over, open the glove box and turn it off. What a place to put a switch. I will be switching to GM if I can find someone to buy this on a Sun
Its not what you think
This car has the ride and confort of a 70's boat. But thats all it has in common. This car handles better than my 93 escort did. It gets better gas milage than my 98 ranger 4cyl .It has plenty of power This car is a great minivan alternative. All 3 of my kids (two in car seats) fit comfortably in the back. And you can buy a model that is a few years old at a dirt cheap price. I am basing the relibility in part on my 1984, which would put any toyota or honda to shame.
Awsome car
I absolutely love this car. Buy one, and drive the hell out of it. It's a fun car i've enjoyed the car very much
