"I bought my Mountaineer used and have driven it for over 5 years with only minor issues related to normal wear and tear. Everyone in the family always wants to drive it as it is very comfortable and reliable."

"I got through unbelievable snow drifts during an especially rough ND blizzard, and even the Chevy Trailblazer following me got stuck. Mileage is the biggest turn off for me, getting around 14 mpg and with AWD I don't even get a little bit of a break in the summertime. I've had it for around two years and haven't had any issues with it to date, and (to my knowledge) it treated the previous owner well also. I would recommend this automobile to someone who deals with deep snow, because you shouldn't ever have to worry about getting stuck."

"leather seats are comfortable with lumbar support, and a very roomy vehicle. Does pretty good on gas for being a 97, but has a big gas tank."

"I bought mine used after having elec. problems with my impala. I love the space and the fact that it sets up higher than my car did. The only problems I have had with mine is the back wiper quit working, the drivers door lock is acting up, and the gas milage is really low. Other than that it has been a great car handels in the snow great. Gets me from point a to b with no problems. I dont mind driving the 150 miles to see my family anymore."
