Used 2002 Mercury Villager Consumer Reviews
The Mercury Villager
The Mercury Villager is a great minivan. We have owned three, a 1996 GS model, a 1998 Multi-Sport model, and now a 2002 Estate model. They have been good to us. It is too bad Mercury is going to stop making them.They are comfortable, quiet, and kind of neat- looking. Nissan did a good job of designing them.

Time for retirement
Retirement for the villager comes none too soon. It lacks the features and refinement of other minivans. Reliability has been the biggest shortcoming. This is a perfect of Fords fall from grace in recent years. Problems include a loss of breaks, transmission issues and relentless rattles and squeaks. Interior materials have that cheap look of and economy car, certainly not what you expect in a upscale Mercury.
Number and still going
I've owned 5 Mercury Villagers, starting with a 1995 nautica version. I keep buying them because they're the best vehicle Ford ever made. I've put no less than 100,000 miles on each of them, this one has 115,000 miles and is in excellent condition My first one, I sold to a friend is stiil on the road, and he is still a friend. If Ford still made them, I'd buy another. Too bad Ford and Nissan couldn't work out their joint venture, Ford would still be in the mini-van market and have a greater market share. If Ford would have put some of the features of the Villager in the Windstar they'd have sold a bunch more of them. I love mine and will drive it until it drops since I can't buy another
I love this van!
I have NO CLUE why the editor ratings aren't better for this van! We recently bought one, and before purchasing it I asked tons of Villager owners (that I spotted in parking lots, ect) what they thought of their van, and NOT ONE PERSON had a bad thing to say about it! We bought ours and absolutly LOVE it!
