since buying this vehicle it has performed to every high standard i have asked for in a minivan. the comfort and quality of ride has out performed others in my past vehicles. the only thing lacking is a dvd player not available in 1997,but i will add it later. well done mercury for another fine automobile.
Super Satisfied

I have owned it for 16 months and I have put 40k on it in that time. Very reliable! It is great on the hwy & gets great mileage. Only major mechanical problem has been a bad fuel pump. For a fam. of 4 (2 toddlers) it's great for long travel. I have driven it 600 miles in a day and it never missed a beat. Overdive shifts off at times when shifting into drive or park and my mechanic said since it is a special Merc./Ford/Nissan edition it will be difficult to find the part but not a maj issue. The doors do seem possessed as they lock and unlock indpendently at times, especially the side door. The int. has held up really good. Paint is still in great shape and consider it is Florida veh.

While not as large as some of its competitors, the Villager scores big with fun to drive and reliability. Now with 157,000 miles and still drives like new. No squeaks or groans and as reliable as rain...oops, make that death and taxes. I wish they still made this van as I would buy another just like it if/when that day ever comes when this one fails.

Have had only 2 problems in over 90,000 miles, both relate to power assc funtions. Repaired both myself for under 75.00ea. Power Window switch partly failed and power door lock switch failed casing "odd" door lock operation in whitch they locked and unlocked on their own and when they wanted two. Vech had 12,ooo miles on it when i got it.
HAPPY OWNER :-)

Have had great luck in my 105,000 miles. Very few repairs & has never left me sit. It does well in winter also. We have the 2 seperate A/C systems & like the cooling throughout the whole van. The shocks that hold up the tailgate window no longer hold but it has been opened a million times. By the way....the Villager is really a Nissan Quest with a slightly differently rear door. It was a joint venture between Nissan & Ford. Engine never uses oil. I do keep it faithfully changed every 3,000 miles. No engine, AC, transmission or electrical problems. I believe I can easily get 200,000 miles from this van.
