Upscale Quiet & Adequately Powered Mini
We have taken ours on 6 hr trips & it is very quiet, very comfortable, & adequately powered for traveling & passing at 80MPH on the turnpike. Every amenity is available except a few of the gimmick options that each manufacturer exclusively carries. We love this vehicle! It is a new platform for Ford/Mercury so we had a few recalls, which were promptly fixed. Really don't know how anyone would say Dodge/Chrysler is better & looking at specs on Japanese brands size, power, mpg, etc. are all w/in same ranges w/only slight differences. We highly recommend this vehicle for a family. FYI: Mercury comes w/more options for the $ than Ford.
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.

Loved the Villager, tried the Monterey
We have a 95 Villager with 291K & still love it, even without AC. Bought this Monetery after my husband totaled 2002 Villager & ended up with a scratch. Love it but many repairs. Now Drivers heated seat is out, Drivers side heat blows cold, replaced transmission at 135K, replace brakes on regular basis, expensive to replace tires, and windshield wipers work intermittently
Mercury Monterey Premier 2004
We tested the vehicle over the weekend and decided it was what we wanted. We drove it to CO in Nov. and it performed well. When we ran into snow and ice in Leadville, etc, the advance-trac system kept us from slipping. The gas mileage is not great but averages around 20 miles/gallon. The van weighs 4600 lbs and handles very well on curves. It is very quiet in the cabin and handles bad road conditions very well. We remain happy with the van now logging over 7000 miles of enjoyable driving.The heated seats have been a plus this winter. It is a little early to rate the reliability but everything gone well thus far.
Monterey
Quite an improvement over the Mercury Villager. More features, better pickup and more comfortable.
