Used 2005 Mercury Mountaineer Consumer Reviews
awesome
This vehicle has been a pleasure on the road and city for such a big vehicle i barely feel the engine!
1 of the Sweetest out there for the $$
This is our first American after years of leasing Volvo, Infiniti, and Lexus sedans. So we can compare reliability and service. 6K miles in 3 months and we love it!! We gave up the heated steering wheel,heated r/seats & 3rd row aux. air. But in return a DVD(=happy kids), tons of cash left over when compared to imports, and an SUV that does not get lost in a sea of Explorers in the parking lot. The fuel gauge went the 2nd week, and the A/C air compressor "chirps" every once in a while.(happened in my friends '03) Dan over in the service dept. really takes care of his customers. All I can say to the import companies is: You can keep your Cappucino and Biscotti! In the end I paid for IT!!

Mountaineer
Excellent handling SUV. Quality interior, great sounding stereo system, a pleasure to drive.
My 2004 not a 2005
Really the only complaint I have is with the fuel economy which doesn't quite reach 20 mpg. Last summer we went through the N/W USA to the Seattle area & returned through Northern Canada. This trip was for 7,776.7 miles and we averaged over 22.5 mpg. This vehicle is serving us well. We have less than 2 years remaining on the lease. Since all of our long vacations are history, we may go back to a Lincoln Town Car. Time will tell!
Transfer case problems
Nice looking vehicle and drives well for an SUV, however body of vehicle is lacking quality. Mechanically our new vehicle needs a new transfer case and has been leaking transmission fluid like crazy. Also, the roof of the vehicle has many welding defects.
