The 06 Mountaineer

The vehicle I purchased lacked only one thing as far as my needs where concerned, daytime running lamps. Other than that the car is fun to drive, sure footed on wet pavement. Responsive 4.6L from the 4.0L in the '02 version. In upstate NY on RT 17 there's a hill 5 miles long and goes up about 2700 ft, no problem the '06 doesn't shift out of O/D to maintain 64 - 67 mph with cruise control on. I'm 6'-2" and driver and shotgun are very comfortable, 2nd row probably ok for 5'-9"'s , 3rd row kids only. The rear area HVAC is great for cooling down the car and holding it cool on hot days. The 6cd w/satelite radio has great sound. It's a car you get into n' say this is the way they should have done it.
Okay the real deal!!!

Okay this SUV is good all around, but when it come to repairs it costs money!!! Especially when replacing the transmission fluid! Why because it’s a sealed case meaning no dip stick, so take it in or get some fittings from lows home improvement and a hand pump from Walmart or harbor freight. Or the next big one is the torque converter solenoid! So yeah good vehicle but somewhat hard to work on yourself. Overall it’s a good SUV good on the highway but not running and gunning around town you will eat that tank up fast! It’s also good in the snow as well, you can drive without chains. You can switch it from AWD (all wheel drive) to 4X4. Just chains with the system in snow and take it easy! Oh yeah the motors for reclining rear seats are hard to find once they go out!

I purchased this 2006 vehicle about 1 month ago from a private party, with about 28k miles. After reading all the reviews about poor transmissions, and all the problems people were having, I almost turned away a great SUV! I have had NO problems whatsoever (knock on wood) so far. Transmission is very smooth & very fun to drive. Interior design is very nice and unique, but the exterior presents nothing truly exciting. I have been getting about 385 miles per tank, roughly 20 gallons to fill up, at about $60 bucks a pop...but it's well worth it, and it's an SUV so that was expected!
enjoyable ride

The ride is very comfortable. Steering is a dream to handle. All of the controls are placed for a safe drive without taking your eyes off the road.

The Mountaineer is much roomier and proves a quieter and smoother ride than the MDX. This vehicle has a strong structure and transmits NO noise, squeaks or rattles in the cabin. The power retracting running boards and the power 3rd row seats are a hoot. Having driven the Acura, the Mountaineer is clearly a much better deal and when fully equipped was still thousands less than the MDX after the rebates.
