Bought vehicle in January 04. Looked at the Explorer also. Mercury has the interior nailed down. Got the V8, has lots of power. Much better than the Lexus 330 we test drove. The 330 is way over rated.

Premier V8 w/2WD

Currently have 3000 miles with no serious issues at all. Vehicle is very quiet riding and very good acceleration. The memory seats are very convenient as is the automatic exit positioning of the seat. There is one problem with the sunroom. At lower speeds ~ 20MPH, there is excessive pressure build up in the passenger compartment without any side windows down. Lowering a window or closing the sunroof to 1/2 eliminates the pressure. Overall, I really like this vehicle and would recommend it to anyone.

We pull a horse trailer and went from a Jeep Grand Cherokee V8. No comparison. The Mountaineer pulled better had a much nicer ride quiet and comfortable. The back up monitor is very helpful when it comes time to attach the trailer. Put the special mud flaps on from Mercury and they blend right in with the design. Looks great

Our Mountaineer has already earned its keep by twice taking the family on ski trips, carrying building supplies from Home Depot, and doing daily chores. It also looks good when pulling up at a function. The gas mileage kind of stinks, but average for an SUV this size. A very nice alternative to its sister the Explorer. In fact, it's like getting a Lincoln ride for a Ford price. The 4.6 engine has nice power and the ride is quite comfortable, even for long distances. The AWD makes shifting from dry to wet to ice to snow a no-brainer. Very happy with it.

Better Than Explorer

We have an '03 that we bot in Sept, 2002, loaded. A great improvement over the 3 Explorers we had during the 90s. The quality has been excellent! Almost went Toyota after all of our 99 Explorer's problems. We now have about 25000 miles on it and there has not been one defect. Easier to drive than old Explorers... a little more "squat". Less bounce and easier/lower entry for my wife Two complaints. Major: the so-called leather seats. The driver's seat is clearly beat up at 25K mi and will certainly reqire sheepskin covers at 50-75K. Minor:the rear window should have a more solid closing mechanism. But other than that, it's been great.
