Never though I'd own a Mercury.....
I recently lemon-lawed a smaller foreign made van and began the long shopping process over the fall. I had read that Mercury had began selling a van again in '04, so I gave it a shot. I'm glad I did. If Lincoln made a van this would be it, and mine isn't even the loaded one (Premier), quiet, great ride, good power. It's got everything you could ever want in a vehicle. I don't mind at all giving up a little gas milage for the convience and luxury the Monterey provides. I have recommended this vehicle to all of my family and friends. With the rebates L- M was offering the price for the incredibly equipped Luxury (mid-level) was unbelieveable. Looking forward to a Holiday roadtrip w/ the family.
wonderful features
This is a great van. Lots of leg room in the front. I love the buttons 2 open side doors in front as well as rear. The ride is smooth. The rear seat folds in giving GREAT SPACE in the rear when not in use. You will not be disappointed if you buy this one.

Excellent Choice for us
Our family bought a Monterey to help move my college bound daughters. We were sold on its design and functions, especially the huge area of cargo space. we fit in a 88" couch and moved kids from central Illinois to Wisconsin with easy. The ride is superior and the features are wonderful. We are currently downsizing and this vehicle is doing the job again. Beat any pick up truck, and can be quickly converted into a seven passenger van with little effort and luxury appearance and feel.
Excellent Van
I absolutely love everything about this van. We purchased it new and fully loaded. I love the way the third seat folds down for extra space if needed. I love the controls for the audio and cruise on the steering wheel at my fingertips. I love the fold down mirror to be able to see my passengers in the rear seats. It is the best van for the money. I get compliments on its looks all the time. The only problem was the self-sealing tires staying aligned. But, having said that they really do work. I got a nail in my tire on the interstate at 70mph. The tire held up until I got to my destination then went flat. The van did not jerk or anything, messgage center let me know to check the tire
good value
When comparing this model to what else was out there this van with the rebates and year discounts made it a worthwhile purchase. Only problem in the short period we have had the van is that the freon in the air was low and didn't cool correctly. There wasn't a leak just improperly filled at the factory.
Worst Vehicle I have ever owned
Had a 2000 Windstar that had three transmissions in 36,000 miles. Foiund it had silent recall. Got this with concessions from Ford. Many service issues. Just had the third row seat restraints break loose from the frame. Whole underside of drivers side is rusted underneath . NTSHA has an investigation on this vehicle for safety issues regarding seat mounts breaking free because of rust. I have a 12x12 hole in a wheel well and Ford won't do anything. Only 67,000 miles, Wife drives it. Garage kept. This is the second vehicle ford let us down on. I have owned fords all my life and never again. They don't stand behind what they sell. I suggest everyone with this vehicle check the wheel wells row
Really Like This Mini-Van ... But!
My wife and I really like this minivan. It's very comfortable, well appointed and rides very smooth. We like the dash arrangement and the analog clock. We also compared this to a loaded Freestar Limited and the Monterey is actually about $2000 cheaper with the same equipment. Ok now for the BUT. For a $34000 vehicle the amount of plastic is mind blowing. A little leather on the sides of the doors would have been a nice touch and befitting a Mercury. The other thing is the lack of a lockable glove compartment. Even my Jetta has that! If you can wait, we recommend getting that power tailgate.
Mercury Montery
We recently purchased a Mercury Montery. Wow! This vehicle is just a pleasure to drive. I still am learning what all the bells and whistles are for. It gives you a smooth ride with a lot of pep when you require it. I love it. The gas mileage could be a little better. Ford needs to work on that aspect, but the performance of the vehicle is superb. Very comfortable. Another point that would be nice is if all the seats folded flat. The rear seat operates quite easily.
AWSOME

Very fun to drive van. The standard features are great. I have owned 3 vans prior to this one and this is the best one of all. I would recomend this van to any body It drives like a dream.
great car
Great Handlin g
A true luxury minivan
I upgraded to the Monterey from a Windstar LX which I owned for 6 years. Love most everything about this vehicle but I miss the more comfortable captain chairs of the Windstar LX, the rear storage compartment, the coin holder and sunglass holder in the overhead console.
