  Quite an improvement over the Mercury Villager. More features, better pickup and more comfortable.

  Still doing great! - 2004 Mercury Monterey
  By Almon - March 28 - 8:46 pm

  My van now has 52,000 and the only problem was to replace a lock on a sliding door. Just replaced brakes and tires this month. Getting 21 mpg over all. About half of my driving is highway miles. My wife and I still love the looks and the comfort on roadtrips. The engine has a lot of torque and is fast off the line and good at passing in the 45-60 mph range. The advance trac feature really keeps it solid on the road.

  Transmission/egr headaches - 2004 Mercury Monterey
  By famster - November 16 - 10:36 pm

  My 04 monterey transmission went too, no warning! Cost $2000. 84,000 miles. Also having problems with engine light. Looks like egr valve. Cost about $350. Love the car, but the excessive repairs are bleeding me dry! With the transmission complaints abundant, why wont Ford do anything? From a large family of Ford owners, I may not purchase another due to lack of support of their owners and their own lack of accountability. How sad.

  Worst Vehicle I have ever owned - 2004 Mercury Monterey
  By bspagnolo - October 16 - 11:28 pm

  Had a 2000 Windstar that had three transmissions in 36,000 miles. Foiund it had silent recall. Got this with concessions from Ford. Many service issues. Just had the third row seat restraints break loose from the frame. Whole underside of drivers side is rusted underneath . NTSHA has an investigation on this vehicle for safety issues regarding seat mounts breaking free because of rust. I have a 12x12 hole in a wheel well and Ford wont do anything. Only 67,000 miles, Wife drives it. Garage kept. This is the second vehicle ford let us down on. I have owned fords all my life and never again. They dont stand behind what they sell. I suggest everyone with this vehicle check the wheel wells row

  Never though Id own a Mercury..... - 2004 Mercury Monterey
  By JBR Merc Owner - August 1 - 10:53 pm

  I recently lemon-lawed a smaller foreign made van and began the long shopping process over the fall. I had read that Mercury had began selling a van again in 04, so I gave it a shot. Im glad I did. If Lincoln made a van this would be it, and mine isnt even the loaded one (Premier), quiet, great ride, good power. Its got everything you could ever want in a vehicle. I dont mind at all giving up a little gas milage for the convience and luxury the Monterey provides. I have recommended this vehicle to all of my family and friends. With the rebates L- M was offering the price for the incredibly equipped Luxury (mid-level) was unbelieveable. Looking forward to a Holiday roadtrip w/ the family.

  Excellent Choice for us - 2004 Mercury Monterey
  By stevensample - July 8 - 10:46 am

  Our family bought a Monterey to help move my college bound daughters. We were sold on its design and functions, especially the huge area of cargo space. we fit in a 88" couch and moved kids from central Illinois to Wisconsin with easy. The ride is superior and the features are wonderful. We are currently downsizing and this vehicle is doing the job again. Beat any pick up truck, and can be quickly converted into a seven passenger van with little effort and luxury appearance and feel.

  Long trip comfort - 2004 Mercury Monterey
  By Robert Miller - July 4 - 10:00 am

  Taking a trip from Florida to New Jersey ,to Connecticut, to Massachusitts, I found the ride very comfortable, and considering the load I was carrying, I averaged 20 miles per gallon. Upon returning I averaged 22 mpg on a trip to Orlando, and back. My wife and I found it a very comfortable ride.

  Mercury minne van - 2004 Mercury Monterey
  By Lloyd Staveteig - February 8 - 3:16 am

  This van is very nice to drive but there is more road noise than I expected but operates well both on the road and in town how ever it is at the present time making poor gas milage, they tell me it will get better with more milage, will wait and see on that.

  good value - 2004 Mercury Monterey
  By mbailey1 - December 31 - 12:46 am

  When comparing this model to what else was out there this van with the rebates and year discounts made it a worthwhile purchase. Only problem in the short period we have had the van is that the freon in the air was low and didnt cool correctly. There wasnt a leak just improperly filled at the factory.
