Used 2003 Mercury Mountaineer Consumer Reviews
great suv
a very good suv for its price a little on the low side for gas mileage but besides that i love my mountaineer
So far, so good . . .
As a former "comfy" car driver (Olds Aurora) I was a little hesitant about how I would like a "truck." But I have been pleasantly surprised. Very comfortable, handles extremely well. It is definitely affected much more by the wind, in both handling and noise. I ordered a cargo area shade, and am much happier to have a "trunk" area for concealing purchases. Overall, I like having the freedom to transport bulkier items without sacrificing comfort.

Like the vehicle
Takes the bumps a little hard. I compare the ride to a Donali which I have driven but do not own. I guess price does make a difference.
My 3 Mountaineer's
This is my 3rd Mountaineer, i started leasing them in 96 when the 97 first was available, i will be leasing my 4th very soon, this is the best sport utility, with class, comfort, sporty, luxury and very safe and dependable. I am very pleased with this SUV and the dealership i lease from. If you want comfort, reliability, and style this is the sport utility for you, I cant wait to be in my 4th one, they just keep getting better!
Cool SUV
In leather trim this SUV seems better polished than competing vehicles. The 6 cylinder seems more than adequate if you are not towing (I can not comment positive or negative on towing). All in all I am very satisfied with quality, handling, performance, etc so far. Personally, I think it is a better buy with the rebates than the Escape. With out the rebates it would be a tougher choice.
