  Best 3rd row seat SUV for the price - 2003 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Dwayne Perkins - August 6 - 10:00 am

  Although it is an upgraded Explorer, the price of a loaded Mountaineer is actually cheaper than a loaded Explorer Limited and still has more features. I like the way it looks, drives, and the interior comfort. It handles great for an SUV and the performance is excellet. I hit every dealership in Hampton roads and looked at every SUV with 3rd row seating. I also researced every one on the internet for features and pricing. This vehicle is the best for the price.

  My Second Moutaineeer - 2003 Mercury Mountaineer
  By kcbillybob - May 6 - 10:00 am

  This is our second Mountaineer. My wife and I are very happy with this SUV, it is one of the best out on the market to drive, our 2002 on long trips got over 20 mpg, for the money the Mountaineer has it hands down....

  Great SUV - 2003 Mercury Mountaineer
  By Wayne Greene - March 2 - 3:40 am

  This is a superb SUV. Very comfortable and easy to drive. It handles as well as a sedan which is supprising. The ride is like your typical modern day SUV. I had to settle for the Luxury model because of the lack of head room in the Premier with the Sunroof. I am 61". We have the V6 with a class III/IV tow package that pulls our 3500 lb boat better than our V8 truck. This Mountaineer is my wifes primary use vehicle but is also the vehicle we get in when traveling together.

  Never wanted an SUV - 2003 Mercury Mountaineer
  By judy - January 26 - 1:00 pm

  My husband kept insisting I needed a 4WD vehicle. I buy a vehicle because of the way it looks, no other reason. The salesman showed me 5 vehicles the day I bought the Mountaineer. Each one had to be cleaned of 6 inches of snow! When I saw the Mountaineer, I said "ok I like how this looks. I drove it, and bought it that day. Its been 1 1/2 years and I love it.

  2002 - 2003 Mercury Mountaineer
  By tmb0461 - January 9 - 2:00 am

  Play tons of hockey in the Northeast. Car has been 100% dependalble. One of first Premiers to be delivered. All black, looks great. V8 AWD is the way to go! Have had several snow storms, no problem. At $29,000 delivered many friends with BMW X5 and Mercedes ML320 wonder why they paid $20,000 more.
