2005 Mercury Mountaineer Convenience AWD 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)

Overall it's been OK but the build quality could be better and only has 42k. So far we have had to replace the tires 3 times cant buy just one its AWD. Wheels are going bad from rust/corrosion and the chrome is peeling. Been in shop two times in 6 months for wheel bearings. CD changer ate the disks and they wont come out. Dont get me wrong, I like it. The power is great. With the 5 speed and the V8 on the freeway it gets 20 mpg or more but around town its like 15 or less.
love/hate relationship - don't buy it!

I love all the bells and whistles on this SUV, but it is not worth the trouble. My first one was traded in under lemon law due to a sulfur smell that could not be fixed. My second one has been in the shop 5x after it keeps stalling/dying. (It currently has 26,000 miles on it.) At 20,000 it needed a new $1200.00 torque converter. It still stalls, they cannot find out why. It is outright dangerous. DO NOT BUY THIS SUV - you will love the features and not want to give it up, but it is NOT worth the grief.

This is my second Mountaineer, I just traded in my 2000. The Convenience package with the special edition 17" Chrome rims is a real head turner. The V8 really has some kick to it, great off the line power and smooth overall output. For the price, this is an awesome SUV.

I have a 2002 with 82,000 miles and except for the normal oil changes and tune up it has NEVER given me a problem. I love it and Ford Credit has been very supportive through my bad times
Too Much Gas

Only concern is the poor gas mileage around town. During cold Minnesota winter a little over 10mpg is all we can get out of it. Compared to a colleagues V-8 Toyota we are unimpressed. While the official figures are under ideal conditions, this is the farthest off we have ever seen from a vehicle. Thankfully we use it only about 8,000 miles a year. Full marks for the dealership who were great with purchase and after sales service.
