"van is a great car to own very reliable and comfortable to drive or ride in. The origial price was a bit high but with the discount, it proved to be a great van for the 7 years I have owned. If they were still made I would buy another one. The brakes are original and still have good life in them, the interior hes heldup very well,and the van in still very tight overall."

Reliable - poor detail design and workmanship

By Old Timer (IL) on Friday, November 18, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 90,000

Pros: "Reliability"

Cons: "Poor workmanship and interior design"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8

"90,000 miles and the only maintenance has been the routine preventative ( oil change, etc) Easy and comfortable to drive. Very poor design of the interior detail like the placement of the power seat equipment, carpet edges, second row seat removal/latch system, seat arms, door compartments, etc Poor workmanship on almost the whole interior with the exception of the seats. If you compare this vehicle to our "second" car - a 2007 Honda Civic - the Civic wins the comparison hands down on the attention to detail. The Mercury Van looks like it was thrown together. Minor detail - the owners manual lacks a comprehensive index - sometimes one just needed to leaf through pages to find the right topic. Good luck to the second owner. The car has seat, mirror and brake pedals that adjust to the key being used - but how to set those and activate between keys in in four separate areas of the manual with no reference on how to find each area."
