Excellent Vehicle, great value
This was our first Mercury purchase and it's been an excellent vehicle. We purchased it new and it has 136K miles on it now. Excluding maintenance items, it's never in the shop and has never let us down. Make sure you use Motorcraft oil. I'll probably drive it another 100K or so but I'll definitely buy another Mercury/Ford product. I have an F-150 with 160K miles on it and no problems for it either. Ford makes a great product. My father has one with 400K miles on it. Buy American....Buy a Ford!
Great reliability
Have had this vehicle since new and have had no problems...I've changed the timing belt every 110000 miles as suggested in my care booklet. Have had only 1 set of brake pads and 4 sets of tires. I routinely get 21 in the city and close to 26-27 highway. Really sorry they don't have any more!!
Look elsewhere
I know minivans are by their nature boring vehicles. The Villager is especially so. I have also had a nagging squeak from the steering column that the dealer was never able to completely fix.
COMFORTABLE AND FUN TO DRIVE
I have owned my Estate Villager for a little over a year, and it has been very dependable, comfortable, fun to drive, and good looking too. My kids love the rear a/c and rear floor heater. They also like to use the rear plug-in for their portable cd players. I love the comfortable leather seats, the digital dash, and the radio controls on the steering wheel. I have no complaints with my Villager Estate.
OK vehicle over all
This has been a pretty darn reliable vehicle. It has over 100,000 miles on it and it still runs real good. I wish i would have gotten a Ford Expedition 4x4 because this vehicle is too small for us, and it does pretty bad in the snow. It does real good on gas 14cty 19-21hw. There has been absolutly nothing mechanically wrong with it.
