2007 Mercury Mountaineer Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Nice car, but already sold by the time I arrived at the dealer. The car had a lot of miles but appeared to have been taken care of by previous owner. I was concerned about the mileage but probably would have bought it if someone else hadn’t already bought it. The car is similar to a Ford Explorer but a little fancier. They don’t make Mercury anymore unfortunately Dec 21, 2022

We now have 135,000 miles on the car. I have two complaints: 1. Had to get a new radiator after 45,000 miles - it was out of warranty. 2. Sometimes the transmission shifts roughly into reverse. This has been a problem for over 50,000 miles - Ford has reviewed found no easily repairable issues. More of an annoyance than anything else. The good news - while the EPA rates this vehicle at 19 mpg on the highway, we are getting 22 mpg at about 75 mph overall. In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where speed limits rend to be loer, we just averaged close to 25mpg @ 55mph. Maintenance costs have been below average. Our local Lincoln dealer handles our repairs. We shop there for tires and routine maintenance. Their rewards program helps to keep their prices lower than competing independent shops in our area. We bring all of our cars there, even other makes. Sure, I know it is just a gussied up Ford Explorer, but small Interior and exterior differences always seemed worth the few hundred dollars extra!Jul 21, 2014
