Best SUV I've ever owned!

I purchased my mountaineer 3 years ago used with 110000 miles on it. I'm at 177000 miles now and the only thing I've had to replace was the normal wear and tare or the brakes, I've replaced the altenator with a life time one. I love this truck because it has heated seats, a 6 disc changer, a DVD player for my grand babies with the head phones, 3rd row seating & the sensor that lets me know not to back into anything. Also it's pulled me out of mountains of snow in the winter time! To get good gas Milage I use the mid grade.

Where do you go after driving a lexus and 2 infiniti sedans for the last 10 years? When switching to a SUV the next logical step is import right? Not a chance. Competition is either too small/big or without a 3rd row, and 10g's for the fancy tags, can't see the value there. We took a 600 mile trip the first week. We love this vehicle! Has all the features we were looking for , and for the right price. We feel safe in this vehicle! Styling is strange for my taste. But the monochromatic Ivory Parchment on the Premier is growing on me. Same color and most features of the Lincoln Aviator for 10 g's less. Too soon to tell on reliability... I'll update if something goes wrong!

This SUV is nice for 2 young children. The third row is great for your children's friends and converts easily when its time to do household shopping.

I have owned a '99 Mtnr, '03 Mtnr and now a '05 Mtnr. I enjoy driving this auto and feel that it is very dependable especially in the winter as I sometimes get 10 to 18 inches of snow overnight and I've always been able to get out of my driveway. The '03 and the '05 have better stability and cornering than the '99. I also like the extra room in the cabin. When we take out of town trips of 300 miles or more I am very comfortable after the long trip due to the comfort of the seats. I also enjoy the heated seats since I have frequent back pain. The service dept. at our dealership gives excellent service.

Traded a '97 mountaineer in for this one, as much due to the incentives offered as anything else. Have had a couple of issues with the transmission that have been handled under warrantee (slipping and noise), took 4 visits to get the work completed. Flaw in the paint on the roof, a purple color, that is under the clear coat. Dealer offered NO solution, short of disassembly of the entire ceiling interior and removal of the sunroof so the roof could be repainted. Body shop manager said personally she would NOT do this. Purple paint is still there.
