Overview & Reviews

The convenience, comfort and luxury option packages have been simplified. All 2000 Villagers meet federal low emission vehicle status and come standard with a child seat-anchor system. A new rear-seat video entertainment system is now optional.

• Plenty of features and gadgets, good handling performance.

• Too small for some uses, marginal overall value.

  Best minivan ever! - 2000 Mercury Villager
  By john - April 13 - 11:13 am

  Love the comfort this van has to offer. Very safe for my children. My family really like the vehicle but we had to upgrade because of resale value. Great on long trips! We will miss this vehicle greatly. It has had its wear as we had bought it used also. Just afraid it will not last as long as we need it to. My children will miss this vehicle greatly.

  A great family mover ! - 2000 Mercury Villager

  If youre looking for a best "used" reliable van for the money, consider this and you wont be disappointed. For well under 14K now, you get style and reliability from both American and Japanese automakers. Owning it is just like finally getting that Bose stereo you wanted...at 50% off!

  Loved to death - 2000 Mercury Villager
  By John - December 17 - 2:00 am

  We ran our Villager into the ground; 278k from 97 to 2010. Had it in the shop a few times with normal wear and tear. When it finally died no one could figure out why, we spent more than it was worth at the end to try and get it running again. In the end we had to let it go. Currently looking for another one to drive till it drops.

  Great Van - 2000 Mercury Villager
  By TJ - December 13 - 7:56 pm

  We purchased this van new and it has been an excellent vehicle. We currently have 173,000 miles and all original equipment. Its never been in the shop except for maintenance items. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another one if we still needed a van. We purchased a new 2008 Ford Edge and love that too. Ill probably sell the van at 200K just so I can get a new car.

  2000 Sport Villager - 2000 Mercury Villager
  By Not Eric - November 9 - 4:50 pm

  A sporty fun-to-drive minivan. Shorter wheelbase makes this the best- handling van Ive driven. Solid build and dependability alone would lead me to buy another, but alas, service from my dealer is well below par. A/C has leaked since new and three trips to dealer have failed to fix it. They just squirt in some more coolant, call it a fix and send me on my way:(

  2000 Estate - 2000 Mercury Villager
  By mercnout - September 20 - 5:42 pm

  Im definitely glad I found this vehicle while shopping for used vans on craigslist last year. I bought it a year ago with 114,000 miles and have been driving it hard, putting 22,000 miles on it. I use every day as a service vehicle. It has been reliable over all but it has had several wear & tear issues such as new brakes, bad distibutor & new tires. Theres also a knocking or crunching noise coming from the driver side wheel over bumps. It think it may be cv joint or something. So its not invinsible but its definitley reliable & a phenomenal value. I just hope mine hold up to 200-250k miles like many others have.

  Good vehicle - 2000 Mercury Villager
  By Herb Sharp - February 5 - 10:00 am

  My experience has been very positive. Yes, it is shorter than the Chrysler and the Windstar, but it fits in my garage and they dont. We have found it to be a pleasure to drive and have not had any negative concerns in the 2 plus years we have owned the vehicle, and it fits our needs nicely.

  Very Pleased with my Villager Estate - 2000 Mercury Villager
  By samsdad - November 5 - 2:00 am

  I have been driving my Villager for about a year now, and I love it. The leather seats are very comfortable. The passengers like the dual a/c controls, and the rear floor heater. The interior is designed well, and its not bad on the outside, either. The 7 passenger seating allows space for everyone, and the quad seating is very comfortable. I average about 20 mpg, and I do a lot of city driving. Highway mileage is better. It is smaller than some other minivans, but it is big on comfort, so that makes up for any size difference. Overall, I think it is a very good value.

  Look elsewhere - 2000 Mercury Villager
  By Pillager - May 12 - 2:00 am

  I know minivans are by their nature boring vehicles. The Villager is especially so. I have also had a nagging squeak from the steering column that the dealer was never able to completely fix.
