Used 2003 Mercury Mountaineer Consumer Reviews
buy mercury
Having driven mostly Chevrolet trucks and 4x4s i was excited about driving this model of vehicle. I am very satisfied with the performance and ride but believe the economy could be improved with more available axle ratios without hurting the performanc
Not a happy mountaineer
Shortly after buying it we started hearing a noise like a clutch fan or the transmission slipping. Have since had it to the dealer 2x and they say they can do nothing. They say it has to do with the powertrain control module software and that "they" are working on a fix. Not exactly the answer I wanted to hear, especially considering you can actually feel the transmission slip at times. The vehicle now has 6347.0 miles. Also, the vehicle only gets 12 miles per gallon, which very much disappointed me.

Great SUV
As Suv's go, this is a great one -- came to this from owning a jeep SUV. Our other car is an E class Mercedes, but we didn't like their SUV. The V-8 Mountaineer gives a smooth ride (for an SUV) with fine poweer when you need it. Great in deep snow. Interior is very comfortable and roomy. MPG could be improved with a more modern engine design, but the tradeoff is that this uses low grade (not super) fuel, so the cost per mile isn't that staggering.
I love this SUV!!!!
I have had my Merc. Mtnr for over a year..driving over 25,000 miles and love it! Have had several SUV's...but this one is by far the best. Some real nice extra's and has a different look than most SUV's. Have had -0- problems.
My mountianeer baby
I have never enjoyed a car more in my life. I tried maybe test driving 15 different SUVs that were similar in size and price. There was no comparison to the Mountaineer. I have had nothing but superior quality from the performance to the way it looks. Not only would i recommend this car, but I would advise you to be preparde that once you buy it, you will have mountaineers for the rest of your life!!!
