I have had my Mountaineer for 2,500 miles now and I am as happy with it as I was when I left the lot. I have had no problems except the CD player acting up. the drive, the handling, the looks inside/out, the quality and firmness of ride is outstanding. Rides as well as the Land Rover for 2x the price of the Mountaineer and I like the styling better. Its fun to drive, stable and the front end stands out as a dressy explorer. I have gotten lots of compliments on it as you dont see many on the road. One reason why I like the Mountaineer.
Looks can be deceiving!

I had nothing but problems from the start. The passenger rear door would not open from the inside, it takes me several times to start the car in cold weather, the back glass leaks when it rains, and the window rattles. I had this car for two years, and it has been in the shop for over three consecutive months for transmission problems, they say it is fixed however, I'm still having problems. I will never purchase another domestic vehilce if I can help it.

I love the way this vehicle drives, I love the way it handles and the comfort. However, I hate the repair cost! I've had small transmission problems starting at 41k. At 77k , I spent 1400 in repairs. Today, I forked over $2100 for a new transmission at 106k miles. If that's not painful enough, the differential (sp?) was also shot! My repair fellow said he sees this on the Explorer and Mountaineers- I've never heard of those going bad? After $1100 for that, I can promise you that I won't be a repeat purchaser of a Ford product. I had a Windstar prior to the Mountaineer. My trans went out at 38k on that and was going out again at 110k when I got rid of it for the SUV.

I have 200400 miles. V-8 still pulls strong. Still fun to drive. I have 2- wheel drive but have been able to drive through what I want. Replaced tranny at 105000 miles. I use a K&N air filter and installed a 'Tornado' air mixer thing; I get close to 19/20 mpg. I change oil 3 mo/3000 miles. I pass emissions test annually in GA. On third set of tires, they wear evenly. Ride is comfortable, especially on long trips. It does good for 'taxi' service. Tis is my third Mercury, they have all worked well-I do make sure I do regular maintenance.

With 54K miles absolutely no problems with anything. Original tires still holding out great. Love the third seat and numerous available options. We bought the 6 cylinder and with current gas prices it turns out to be the best better choice ( V8 engine only provides about 15 more hp).
