  I love this van! - 2001 Mercury Villager
  By ImJustaGirl - July 29 - 10:00 am

  I have NO CLUE why the editor ratings arent better for this van! We recently bought one, and before purchasing it I asked tons of Villager owners (that I spotted in parking lots, ect) what they thought of their van, and NOT ONE PERSON had a bad thing to say about it! We bought ours and absolutly LOVE it!

  A great mini van - 2001 Mercury Villager
  By Katie - November 28 - 8:03 pm

  This is my third minivan and second villager. I have only had to do normal maintenance, no major repairs. It is a very reliable car, comfortable to drive. Gas mileage ~18 mpg.

  So far,so good... - 2001 Mercury Villager
  By lawlady - April 21 - 2:00 am

  The only complaint I have is how hard it is to take out the seats, and that the third row seat does not fold flat--but that was not an option in minivans when we purchased this vehicle. The handling is great, and I love the way the interior looks.

  2001 Sport Villager Minivan - 2001 Mercury Villager
  By subwayal - January 29 - 10:00 am

  A tight turning radius makes a U-turn possible rather than a K-turn. Easier control of the pedels is accomplished with the modification of the steering column and a deeper toe well.The windows located in the sliding doors have a tighter seal,I dont hear the wind/noise whistling through any gaps. The back bench seat is not easily accessible from the right side. The middle bucket seat folds foward and slides but, the space isnt very large. Entry from the left side is easier and roomier by climbing over the bucket seat and scooting down the center isle.

  Excellent - 2001 Mercury Villager

  The Mercury Villager is a fun mini van to drive and is worth the buy even if it is used. The interior is superior to other mini vans of its year.
