Used 2003 Mercury Mountaineer Consumer Reviews
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!!!

Nearing End of 1st Year
Overall, I like the Mountaineer better than its cousin the Explorer. It's a shame, though, that Ford's cost accountants seem to be "driving" the quality of Ford's products down because of cheap materials. This is a well- designed vehicle that could be alot better if the quality was higher. I don't think Ford is capable any longer of delivering a vehicle anywhere close to the quality of the Toyotas and Hondas. I checked the resale value on this vehicle recently and was amazed at how it had plunged, far greater than normal first year depreciation which, for most American vehicles, is pretty lousy anyway.
Best looking Explorer
I recently drove a 03 Mountaineer for a distance of about 4000 Miles through the Southwest on a trip to the U.S. I liked this car very much, especially compared to other SUVs I drove before, incl. Expedition Eddie Bauer, GMC Jimmy and Montero Sport. While not as roomy as the Expedition, it offers superior handling capabilities and the same 3rd row flexibility. Interior materials are nice compared to other US build vehicles. Vehicle was very well equipped, leather seats are more comfortable than those in the Explorer XLT. Automatic climate control is a nice feature. Steering feel is good for a SUV, but could provide somewhat more feedback.
Love it
I don't urn for any other SUV! This thing handles wonderfully - so much better than my old Mountaineer. It can turn on a dime - much better than many cars. I've never had a problem with either of my Mountaineers - reliable, reliable! Love the 3rd row seat - tons of room!
