My new van
I am very impressed Mercury Monterey Van. I have been driving vans for years and have had 5 different makes. This one tops them all for comfort ride and design. Gas milage is about 17 in the city a little less than the other vans but the extras make up for it. The comfort is that of a sedan. I highly recomend this van for a family luxury van. We even have had people stop us and ask to look at the van. The style is attractive to young and old alike.
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

Tires
Having just bought this car we have not had much experience with it yet. But so far we have had a problem with tires that bump. Also this van needs running boards and a grab handle for the driver. We are having to buy running boards and thought we could equip it with a lift for a scooter but having a problem with that also. Have to lose 3rd seat if we do.Hopefully the dealer can resolve the tire problem and we can get a lift that works.
Outstanding van
This is simple the best well thought out ideal by a manufactor, in the mini van class. We drove the Quest, Sienna and Town and Country. But the Monterey is a wonderful vehicle. And i think now Mercury owns the standard in mini vans..
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

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.
