  Great Car - 2005 Mercury Monterey
  By Jay Fleming - December 26 - 9:16 pm

  I love this car! Although it doesnt get the most amazing fuel economy it is like driving first class around town. It has everything you could possibly want in a mini van. The leather appointed seats, with heat/air conditioned features is especially nice. It drives smooth and has lots of storage. I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking to drive in luxary!

  Sure beats the Dodge and Chrysler - 2005 Mercury Monterey
  By Eaugalle1 - May 21 - 5:56 am

  I have owned both Dodge and Ford mini vans in the past and this is a great improvement over my previous Ford Windstar vans and a world of difference over over the Dodge which was the worst vehicle I have ever owned. My friends like the new Hondas and Toyota mini vans but I find them way to expensive and the Honda is far more noisy, the power is not as good as the Mercury and the milage is about the same. Also I was able to buy the Mercury for over $3000. less with the same features as the Honda. I for one cannot justify the higher prices for the Honda and Toyota.

  2004 Mercury Mini Van - 2005 Mercury Monterey
  By R. J. Herman - July 15 - 10:53 pm

  The electronics in this vehicle are outstanding. Very comfortable, easy to drive and handle with plenty of storage room. Gas mileage is not too good but is reasonable for car that weighs over two tons has a six cylinder engine and front wheel drive. Interior materials and upholstery are very good. Exterior body panel fit, trim and paint are also very good. Would like to see larger tail lights, more visable to the rear and more reflective material on the rear of the vehicle.

  Great MiniVan - 2005 Mercury Monterey
  By Bernard Murphy - August 26 - 5:56 am

  My decision to purchase the Mercury Monterey was based on the need first of all for a van. Secondly, I needed a vehicle that could take a power lift to put my electric scooter in back (I am handicaped). The Mercury Monterey was one of only a few vehicles that could handle the type of lift I needed. It is easy to enter, comfortable to drive, and filled with luxuries. The engine is quite zippy and takes freeway speeds easily. If someone wanted a dragster, they would not be in a van. All in all a great vehicle.

  2005 Mercury Monterey-Simply Wonderful ! - 2005 Mercury Monterey
  By Dobewon - April 28 - 2:43 pm

  Purchased 9/2005 due to Friends/Family Pricing. MSRP over 33,000 but with 6,000 in rebates and Family pricing, came to just over 23,000. With some 10,000 off list, MONTEREY is an EXCEPTIONAL value ! Stable, quiet and smooth rider. Well appointed interior. Wood/chrome trim; dash chrome analog clock a "showpiece". With its long list of standard features, choosing Monterey over Freestar seemed like a "no-brainer"; and compared to Toyota and Honda we saved thousands due to rebates/pricing not to mention just being able to afford a vehicle of this caliber ! This replaced a 2000 Ford Windstar and no comparison to the comfort and "luxury" feel of the Monterey. Really like this one !!

  Quality Minivan-fun to own - 2005 Mercury Monterey
  By Bill1437 - February 25 - 4:43 pm

  My 2nd mini-van; very functional and fun to drive. 2 minor complaints; storage bins not deep enough, lift gate light not automatic. Use the folding 3rd row seat several times a week. DVD player great when having children on a trip. Sorry they stopped making them.

  Excellent van - 2005 Mercury Monterey
  By Nurse - December 15 - 9:36 pm

  Gorgeous interior, well thought out, my husband loves the seat coolers as well as heaters, power adjustable petals are great for me since I am only 54, memory settings for the petals/seat/mirrors are very convient, overall we love this van and will be sad to see it go when our lease is up and will be hard pressed to find something comprable will all of the extras this van offers. Fuel economy is about what I expected from a minivan, drives excellent, very smooth...
