Overview & Reviews

After 2002, it's outta here. As such, it comes as no surprise that there are virtually no significant changes to the Villager this year.

• Plenty of features and gadgets, low actual transaction prices, optional Autovision entertainment system.

• Too small for some uses, fussy seating system, very little cargo space inside with a full load of passengers.

  The Mercury Villager - 2002 Mercury Villager
  By Jeff Purdy - September 27 - 10:00 am

  The Mercury Villager is a great minivan. We have owned three, a 1996 GS model, a 1998 Multi-Sport model, and now a 2002 Estate model. They have been good to us. It is too bad Mercury is going to stop making them.They are comfortable, quiet, and kind of neat- looking. Nissan did a good job of designing them.

  The Villager is an easy mini-van to drive. Plenty of room for kids and gear. Lots of options for the money. Needs the heat for the rear to be couple in eith the a/c controls. Vehicle is well laid out, all controls are easy to reach. Plenty of leg room. Good looking vehicle.

  This is my second villager purchase. My 93 with 85kmiles has never let us down. we decided tp keep it for my 16 year old son. The new villager with all the bells was only 18300 which I feel is a great deal for this van

  #3 - 2002 Mercury Villager
  By jimd - March 30 - 6:00 pm

  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 well have to hang on to this one.

  SECOND ONE OWNED - 2002 Mercury Villager
  By SAM1 - October 18 - 2:00 am

  This is my second one; Ive had good luck with both. The gas mileage is good for a minivan. I dont have a problem with the cargo space. My 97 had some electrical problems. The middle seats are heavy to remove.

  Number and still going - 2002 Mercury Villager
  By Denzil - May 19 - 5:00 am

  Ive owned 5 Mercury Villagers, starting with a 1995 nautica version. I keep buying them because theyre the best vehicle Ford ever made. Ive put no less than 100,000 miles on each of them, this one has 115,000 miles and is in excellent condition My first one, I sold to a friend is stiil on the road, and he is still a friend. If Ford still made them, Id buy another. Too bad Ford and Nissan couldnt work out their joint venture, Ford would still be in the mini-van market and have a greater market share. If Ford would have put some of the features of the Villager in the Windstar theyd have sold a bunch more of them. I love mine and will drive it until it drops since I cant buy another

  a van for comfort - 2002 Mercury Villager
  By arigan - December 2 - 11:30 pm

  This minivan is really comfortable for a bad back. It doesnt drive like a truck, which is one thing I dont like about vans. It does really well on curves. The mileage is great for on freeway driving. I drove approximately 240 miles on the freeway and I was very pleased with the use of fuel. Less than a half a tank of gas.

  Still the Best - 2002 Mercury Villager
  By JimC - October 24 - 10:00 am

  Weve had four Villagers since 95, and the 2002 is as wonderful as its forerunners. Its sad to know that the Villager becomes a victim of "progress" after this model year. Fords inferior Windstar or variations thereof are altogether unsatisfactory alternatives as far as were concerned.

  Excellent Value - 2002 Mercury Villager
  By Stevenff - September 19 - 10:00 am

  We purchased our 2002 Villager Sport ussed with 11,000 miles on it for about half the sticker price. Like buying a new car for half price. We had a 98 Windstar but wanted a smaller van. The Villager is perfect. Large enough to be comfortable, small enough to be easy to manouver. It is a shame they discontinued it. The Villager filled a niche that is fast disappearing as most minivans keep gaining weight and size. Sometimes "bigger is not better" for everyone.

  Awesome van - 2002 Mercury Villager
  By nsandford - January 22 - 2:00 am

  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).
