Montery Luxury
A nice step up from a Windstar SEL. Better featurers more power better trans. The ride is better and it is quieter inside. We are very pleased with the improvments.
Mercury Monterey
I really love my monterey. It has plenty of room for my three kids and all of their stuff.

Look Elsewhere!
We bought a 2004 used in 2004 with low miles, certified and inexpensive. Even though we got a good deal on the price- it was not worth it! First, the heated seats had to be replaced twice, the TRANSMISSION had to be replaced at 35k miles, then a whole stream of problems with the emissions, which was not covered on the extended warranty that came with a certified car. It has a clunky transmission, a loud ride, brake problems, auto door closing problems and every other option on this car has a had some sort of problem or another! Even though many of the items were thankfully under warranty, it is a constant hassle having it in the shop and there is always some sort of fee that is charged!
2 weeks out of the showroom
So far so good. Other than a slight paint blemish the vehicle seems to be finished perfectly. The ride is comfortable, handling is predictible, pick-up is better than expected. Nice overall features- heated seats, auto dimming rearview mirror and great sound system.
Long trip comfort
Taking a trip from Florida to New Jersey ,to Connecticut, to Massachusitts, I found the ride very comfortable, and considering the load I was carrying, I averaged 20 miles per gallon. Upon returning I averaged 22 mpg on a trip to Orlando, and back. My wife and I found it a very comfortable ride.
Monterey: nice surprise
Easy to use seating, quick response, smooth and ultra quiet ride, somewhat pricey yet well above average in overall performance in its class- Monterey is a welcome addition to the stylish but practical minivan.
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.
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.
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.
