  Great SUV!! - 2003 Mercury Mountaineer
  By rustyfan39 - June 22 - 10:00 am

  We have had our Mountaineer about a month-I had a Durango before that and loved it until someone tboned me! Researched every midsize to large SUV on the market,went back twice to see the Mountaineer.We were very impressed with all the safety features,especially the side curtain airbags.They offerred us such a sweet deal,we would have been fools to pass it up! This car drives like a dream and looks so good on the road! The kids love the DVD player w/ headphones-they are great on trips. I would reccomend the Mountaineer to anyone who wants a sharp SUV with great power and handling that drives like a luxery car!

  Love my Mountaineer - 2003 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Diana - June 13 - 10:46 am

  I mostly use my Mountaineer for commuting, but have taken a couple of long trips, and love it for both. Things I love: comfort, turning radius, quality, sound system, ease of handling, reliability, ease of maintainence, and runs on regular grade fuel. My former cars were a Mercedes and BMW, and this is more comfortable, reliable, and economical to maintain than either. The paint doesnt chip or fade, and always looks great. 2 people have bumped into me and caused damage to their cars but no damage to mine. Its great going up mountains such as the Sierras. There are so many little well-thought out details. I have no complaints.

  A Great Mid-sized SUV - 2003 Mercury Mountaineer
  By S.Perez - May 3 - 10:56 am

  Ive had my Mountaineer for about a month and am really enjoying it. The dual a/c, rear a/c, audio system, turning radius, and comfort seating is just great. Gas mileage and the 3rd row seating not laying flat are the only complaints I have. It is my first SUV and I couldnt be happier.

  WONDERFUL - 2003 Mercury Mountaineer
  By D. Lloyd - August 1 - 2:00 am

  My wife and I have never been fans of American cars but, we love our 2003 Mountaineer. Its only three weeks old which probably isnt a true assesment period but we love the comfort and feel of this SUV. The only complaint we have is that the seat back doesnt adjust automatically when using the memory.

  Driving on a cloud - 2003 Mercury Mountaineer
  By neilfarrell - July 27 - 2:00 am

  The most comfortable riding SUV I have been in. Third row seats a big hit with the kids. I really enjoyed my 2000 Mountie that my wife now has.

  By lgm - July 16 - 10:00 am

  Having driven mostly Chevrolet trucks and 4x4s i was excited about driving this model of vehicle. I am very satisfied with the performance and ride but believe the economy could be improved with more available axle ratios without hurting the performanc

  A Great SUV - 2003 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Bill75 - April 10 - 2:00 am

  I test drove the Explorer, Highlander, Murano, and Pilot. None of them came close to the Mountaineer for comfort and value for the money. The vehicle had more driver leg room than any other vehicle I tested. It handles well for a vehicle of its size. Excellent visibility. V6 power acceptable
