    My upgrade

    I upgraded to an 05 mountaineer from an 07 Ford Focus wagon and I just love it, so much more room, way better in the snow, and I have heated seats and a sunroof, gas mileage isn’t great but I’m also at 176,000 miles. Starts right up for me every day :-)

    Most versatile vehicle I have ever owned.

    I bought this SUV to carry samples for my business and as a personal vehicle for all other times. Roomy enough for seven, OUTSTANDING premium sound system with subwoofer, manufacturer installed remote starter. My records indicate that in addition to getting through the snow, it also allowed me to visit over 15,000 customers since new.

    Great car for towing a boat or family trip!

    Bought this car new loaded and with the tow package and we towed our boat and took numerous family trips. Third row seat great for kids. Both middle seats and rear seat fold down to make room for taking a double mattress or a living room chair. Lots of bells and whistles on this super vacation family fun vehicle. Drove it for over 200K miles and it's still in good shape.

    Gas was super expensive but I miss all the space and seating it was a great vehicle for traveling if you didn't mind the gas prices.

    Best Car I've ever owned.

    There are a lot of positives for the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer. It is as solid as a rock, has lots of room, rides quiet, and has a very tight turning radius which makes it extremely easy to park in tight parking spaces. The anti-lock breaks will pull you right out of a slid and even got me out of a very slippery situation on black ice... where the other vehicles were turning sideways and even had an accident. It has plenty of drink holders, heated seats were fantastic, and the push-button entry prevents lockouts. The only thing negative that I can say about this vehicle is that it's a gas hog!
