Used 2002 Mercury Villager Consumer Reviews
#3
This is our third Estate. The first one went 260K before we traded for a '98. That went 190K before I demolished it. Car was toast but wife and I walked away. Interesting note. Injuries in accidents are roughly half of those in other vehicles.Just bought '02. Expect the same great reliability. Only problem was Ford CD changer which went south at 140K on both previous cars Newer one has simple player. I guess we'll have to hang on to this one.

This is a third set of front brake already; the vehicle has less than 40K miles. EOM brake pad will last up to 20- 25K miles in normal driving condition. Cost $350 plus for the brake service each time. After the car being parked for more than eight hours at work (in the Winter time) Temperature gauge showed the engine is over heated right after the ignition was turned on. Now, I often seeing the temperature gauge jump from normal range to hot range and back and forth from normal driving condition. Water gets in headlights assembly. Two rear tires have radial crack. Rushed Roof rack track on Driver side. A/C light switch

SECOND ONE OWNED
This is my second one; I've had good luck with both. The gas mileage is good for a minivan. I don't have a problem with the cargo space. My '97 had some electrical problems. The middle seats are heavy to remove.
Love the Van
We have had the van for couple of months, but we are very pleased with it. While we have had to take it to the dealership for some minor "tuning" (back hatch door didn't raise all the way, squeaky passenger side window) we don't feel this is a big deal since it is simply laughable to expect perfection from a machine with thousands of moving parts. The van drives well . . . good pickup . . . carries everything we need . . . looks great even when compared to Honda's allegedly fantastic minivan. This is our fourth mini-van, but first Villager, and we are upset we didn't try it before. They are making a mistake discontinuing it.
2001 Sport Villager Minivan
A tight turning radius makes a U-turn possible rather than a K-turn. Easier control of the pedels is accomplished with the modification of the steering column and a deeper toe well.The windows located in the sliding doors have a tighter seal,I don't hear the wind/noise whistling through any gaps. The back bench seat is not easily accessible from the right side. The middle bucket seat folds foward and slides but, the space isn't very large. Entry from the left side is easier and roomier by climbing over the bucket seat and scooting down the center isle.
