  I Love My Villager! - 2000 Mercury Villager
  By godzgirlprayz - August 25 - 9:47 am

  This is the best vehicle Ive ever had! It has nearly 150k mi, I got it with 39k mi. It handles well. No major problems, have only had to do regular maintenance until just recent. Now its starting to run rough, like its going to stall out. Shimmy in the steering when I go over 70 mph. Replaced timing belt at 100k. repaired ac switch (front & back) around 120k. No probs with windows, radio, doors. Oxidation and paint peeling but its 11 yrs old & we live in FL! Otherwise its beautiful! We are gonna try to get it repaired bc I love this van!

  Great van for the money - 2000 Mercury Villager
  By Mark - April 24 - 8:36 pm

  Ive owned my Mercury Sport for nearly 6 years and feel certian its a better choice over Chrysler or Ford products due to the Nissan Powertrain. I now have 110k + miles and it still runs as strong as the day I purchased it. Maintenance is key to long engine life! Brakes, tires and other replacables are only items put on our black beauty. I would highly suggest putting on a great set of tires to match engine zip. Im currently running yokohomos. OEM tires were,of course replaced after 30k seating of 5 is no problem especially on long trips. Did I say I also pull a 2,000 lb. boat? Great van, purchased with very few regrets!

  Mercury Villager Estate - 2000 Mercury Villager
  By RHenry - February 1 - 10:00 am

  My Mercury Estate is underpowered and has a difficult time achieving any fuel economy. My best highway fuel average is 24 mpg. It is also difficult to fuel completely. When the pump shuts off indicating it is full I can still add an additional 3 gallons or more. The ride is comfortable and it handles well. The body is prone to scratches.

  COMFORTABLE AND FUN TO DRIVE - 2000 Mercury Villager
  By tedsmom - October 27 - 10:00 am

  I have owned my Estate Villager for a little over a year, and it has been very dependable, comfortable, fun to drive, and good looking too. My kids love the rear a/c and rear floor heater. They also like to use the rear plug-in for their portable cd players. I love the comfortable leather seats, the digital dash, and the radio controls on the steering wheel. I have no complaints with my Villager Estate.

  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.

  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.

  Old reliable - 2000 Mercury Villager
  By Speedwell - November 13 - 2:56 am

  Bought new in 2000, my wife uses it daily and I cant talk her into something else. Its a shame they stopped making this van because I would probably buy another one.
