2002 Mercury Mountaineer review from North America
"This is the nicest 4x4 I've owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Problems to date have been minor. I had the water pump replaced last week.
The indicator light for the seat heating system was blinking on and off when it was turned off.
General comments?
This car has the electronic HVAC system and I love it. Just set the temp and forget it!
The leather seats with the heaters for cooold mornings are wonderful.
The all wheel drive system is a get in and drive with no cares wonder!
The ride is very smooth and stable, you can't tell you're in a 4x4.
The power for passing is very acceptable so I don't think you need the extra gas MPG loss to have the V8.
I also own a 2004 Ford Explorer Limited fully loaded and I let my wife drive it.
I prefer the Mercury.
