  Great Car - 2005 Mercury Monterey
  By Jay Fleming - December 26 - 9:16 pm

  I love this car! Although it doesnt get the most amazing fuel economy it is like driving first class around town. It has everything you could possibly want in a mini van. The leather appointed seats, with heat/air conditioned features is especially nice. It drives smooth and has lots of storage. I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking to drive in luxary!

  Slight steering wander on highway. Noisy brake pedal. At around 5000 mi. Gas mileage only slightly over 19 mpg after driving 500 highway miles and a little city driving (50 mi.)

  We have owned this van for almost 4 years. It has been a purchase. It is comfortable on long drives with great features such as DVD, Heated/Cooled Seats, and fold down rear seat.

  Sure beats the Dodge and Chrysler - 2005 Mercury Monterey
  By Eaugalle1 - May 21 - 5:56 am

  I have owned both Dodge and Ford mini vans in the past and this is a great improvement over my previous Ford Windstar vans and a world of difference over over the Dodge which was the worst vehicle I have ever owned. My friends like the new Hondas and Toyota mini vans but I find them way to expensive and the Honda is far more noisy, the power is not as good as the Mercury and the milage is about the same. Also I was able to buy the Mercury for over $3000. less with the same features as the Honda. I for one cannot justify the higher prices for the Honda and Toyota.

  Glad I bought it - 2005 Mercury Monterey
  By Vacoast - October 18 - 8:23 am

  I didnt want a minivan, she did and got her way. However, Im glad we bought it. The front seats are both power, heated and cooled. The second row of captain chairs are also comfortable. The third row isnt as comfortable, but we normally keep it hidden in the floor. The power sliding doors are a real convenience when carrying grandbabies or groceries. Also like the in dash 6 CD changer. Wish it had a GPS navigation system. But thats all I would add. Love to drive it. It is very agile for a minivan and is actually pretty quick off the line.

  2004 Mercury Mini Van - 2005 Mercury Monterey
  By R. J. Herman - July 15 - 10:53 pm

  The electronics in this vehicle are outstanding. Very comfortable, easy to drive and handle with plenty of storage room. Gas mileage is not too good but is reasonable for car that weighs over two tons has a six cylinder engine and front wheel drive. Interior materials and upholstery are very good. Exterior body panel fit, trim and paint are also very good. Would like to see larger tail lights, more visable to the rear and more reflective material on the rear of the vehicle.

  Great MiniVan - 2005 Mercury Monterey
  By Bernard Murphy - August 26 - 5:56 am

  My decision to purchase the Mercury Monterey was based on the need first of all for a van. Secondly, I needed a vehicle that could take a power lift to put my electric scooter in back (I am handicaped). The Mercury Monterey was one of only a few vehicles that could handle the type of lift I needed. It is easy to enter, comfortable to drive, and filled with luxuries. The engine is quite zippy and takes freeway speeds easily. If someone wanted a dragster, they would not be in a van. All in all a great vehicle.
