Used 2002 Mercury Villager Minivan Consumer Reviews
2002 Villager Estate
I have now had my 2002 Villager Estate for about a year and put about 7000 miles on it. Gearshift indicator broke, but easily fixed. The gas mileage could be better. Other than that I like the van pretty well, needs to come with stiffer tires than the Goodyear tires that came on it. They should have redesigned it and cut off some of the weight rather than stop making it. Now when you get a Merc van, you are getting a Ford Winstar with Merc nameplate. I would recommend a used one of these vans.
Awesome van
This vehicle is very comfortable. The options are few but great. We did not add-on anything, as it is fine the way it is. It is very fun to drive. It is such a smooth ride and the seats are very comfortable. It is very easy for my 85 year old crippled grandmother to get in and out (verus a car, which is nearly impossible).

Been a good Van
My wife and I have had this van for 8 years (second owner) and it has had no problems. My only complaint is that a strong wind will move it around a bit on the freeway and the seat will not go back quite far enough for me. All we have done in the past 8 years was front brake pads and a new battery. My daughter gets our hand me down cars and I hope this will keep going as well for her for a couple more years.
#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.
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.
