2003 mercury mountaineer review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Refined, convenient and comfortable. introductionmercury mountaineer presents a bold, expressive design. Its innovative chassis and suspension offer a smooth ride. Completely re-engineered for 2002, mountaineer boasts a new frame, a new independent rear suspension, a new front suspension, new steering, new seating formats, and a raft of new standard and optional features.  mechanically, the mountaineer shares its structure and most of its major components with the ford explorer. It's the mountaineer's adventurous, architectural look that sets it apart. While the explorer almost seems designed to blend into the suburban wallpaper, the mountaineer demands more attention. The premier package now includes a power moonroof and safety canopy airbags. Each is available with a 4. 0-liter v6 or a 4. 6-liter v8 800).  all mountaineers come with a wide-ratio five-speed automatic transmission. All have seating for seven, using a third seat that folds completely flat to make room at the rear for large cargo.  all mountaineers are built to a relatively high specification, with power windows, mirrors and locks, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake force distribution, and a class ii receiver hitch for towing. All have the securilock passive anti-theft system and remote keyless entry, and approach lamps on the bottoms of the side mirrors that illuminate the sides of the vehicle when the key fob button is pressed. Power adjustable pedals are now standard as well. A standard battery saver turns off the dome light and approach lamps after five minutes. P245/70 tires are mounted on 16-inch machined aluminum wheels.  the luxury preferred equipment package 2670) adds leather upholstery, heated front seats, power for the passenger seat, memory for the driver's seat and pedals a message center, dual automatic temperature control, audiophile stereo with a six-cd changer, steering-wheel mounted climate and audio controls, electrochromic heated mirrors, painted running boards and 245/65r17 all-terrain tires.  the premier package 4570) includes all that, plus a monochromatic exterior with satin aluminum trim, safety canopy air bags, a reverse-sensing system and a power moonroof. The moonroof is available as a stand-alone option 800).  the rear seat entertainment system 1100) is a new option for 2003 that includes an overhead dvd player and a pull-down seven-inch color screen. The system comes with two wireless headphones, remote control and a universal jack.  . walkaroundmercury mountaineer's expressive design is refreshing in a sea of comparatively faceless suvs. The exterior graphics are all straightforward, businesslike block letters. That the mountaineer is attractive is a good thing because it is expected to represent the design direction mercury is taking with its future products.  we especially liked the big over-or-under door handles than can be operated easily with gloved hands. Optional running boards are convenient for passengers of small stature trying to enter and exit gracefully.  . interiormountaineer uses trendy matte-aluminum trim on the door panels, steering wheel, instrument panel and dashboard and it looks terrific. The aluminum trim extends to the main gauges, the tachometer and speedometer, which are done in black-on-white graphics that turn orange-and-white when the lights are on. It takes only a couple of rides to be able to find everything quickly and easily. Optional seat heaters warm the seats quickly, but the buttons are mounted on the side of the seat and can be difficult to find, as they are grouped with the seatback recliner handle, the power seat switch for fore/aft and the lumbar pump switch.  third-row seats are a bit cramped for 6-foot, 4-inch testers, but the second row is accommodating.  the second and third row seats are very easy to stow. Folding them away reveals a huge 81 cubic-foot cargo bay. The seats are easy to restore to their upright and locked positions.  . driving impressionthe 2003 mercury mountaineer hovers near the top of the class of mid-size suvs. It works well with the five-speed automatic transmission to move this 4500-pound machine effortlessly over flat territory. Throttle response lacks some verve in hilly terrain. The 4. 0-liter v6 with overhead cams and aluminum heads was revised last year with a new intake system for increased performance and aluminum main bearings for improved durability. It is rated at 210 horsepower and 254 pounds-feet of torque at 3700 rpm.  a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system is available with either engine and differentiates the mountaineer with the ford explorer. All-wheel drive contributes to the mountaineer's handling characteristics because it sends torque to the front and rear tires during normal operation. The mountaineer's system biases torque 35 percent to the front and 65 percent to the rear to minimize understeer. (understeer is when the front tires slip before the rear tires, causing the vehicle to push toward the outside of a turn.) it relies on an open differential with a viscous coupling. A clutch pack distributes power between the front and rear wheels based on traction needs. There are no switches or levers the driver needs to operate. There's no low range for serious off-road driving, but the mountaineer's system easily handles snow, rain, mud, wet leaves, ice, and gravel.  mountaineer's rigid frame lets its fully independent suspension soak up bumps, potholes and tar strips. As a bonus, the independent rear suspension makes room for a bigger, flatter load floor and the third seat.  body roll, or lean, is controlled well in fast corners. It's very stable and inspires confidence. Mountaineer's rack-and-pinion steering minimizes wandering on the highway.  . summarymercury mountaineer combines convenience and versatility with luxurious accommodations. It's comfortable on long trips. Its features and ergonomics make living with it a very pleasant experience. Its available all-wheel-drive system makes it a confident vehicle in nasty weather. The v6 engine is more than adequate for most families, but the v8 gives it more power for hilly terrain, high altitudes, and towing. model lineup2wd 29,235); awd 31,265). assembled inlouisville, kentucky; st.

2010 mercury milan review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Refined midsize sedan. introductionlike every mercury, the newly designed 2010 mercury milan intends to be a more refined, up-market restatement of its ford sister car, in this case, the ford fusion. The sleek nose and canted headlight-surrounds express a dynamic, sporting character, and the car's flanks have a similarly attractive muscularity. In the homogenized world of low-priced mid-size sedans, the clean world-car looks of the mercury milan stand as a thoroughly convincing american alternative to the honda accord, toyota camry and other midsize sedans from japan.  the milan interior is similarly striking. Featuring what mercury calls a more technical look, the dashboard and interior are highlighted with stylish satin aluminum metal trim. Attractive black pebble grain covers the dash surfaces, which are fully equipped with added-value comforts and conveniences. Leather seating is standard in most models, another testament to mercury's upscale aspirations.  the 2010 milan provides an excellent array of powertrain choices. For those intent on green fuel efficiency, the milan hybrid has been rated by the epa at a spectacular 41/36 mpg, city/highway. For more power-hungry drivers, milan's top-of-the-line 3. 0-liter duratec v6 delivers a forceful 240 horsepower and 222 pound-feet of torque. For perspective, the diminutive, notably fuel-stingy mini cooper s only gets 23/32 mpg.  mercury milan is a capacious, handsome and winsomely efficient design that can go toe to toe with any mid-size low-price family sedan in the world. Post-crash 911 assist, automatic halogen headlamps, fog lamps, auto-dimming rearview mirror, ambient interior lighting. Also available are a rearview camera, a reverse sensing system, and all-wheel drive. walkaroundmercury milan and ford fusion are intimately related, sharing their structure, overall appearance and much of their equipment. But in the styling language of ford designers, the mercury is intended to make a dramatically different impression than the fusion. The fusion's front fascia is understated, with an all-business grille like a three-blade razor. By contrast, the milan displays a huge gleaming grin that leads directly up-market toward lincoln luxury.  milan and fusion exhibit the same athletic, ready-to-pounce stance. Both are bona fide world cars, with well-polished over-the-road agility and more than enough performance to make that agility relevant.  the milan, with its luxury keynotes, is more grandiosely american than the fusion, its euro sister, but it still has the crisp look and sporty stance that owe a debt to ford's profitability designing, building and selling cars worldwide. The side bolsters and seat cushion lateral support were firmer than the ford fusion's. They hold the driver comfortably in place no matter how vigorous the maneuvering gets. Their leather seating panels were interspersed with breathable inserts in the center and back—good when the heat starts to climb.  the rear seats are really two semi-buckets flanked by a slab over the center hump to allow seating for three. Lateral support is minimal for the two primary back seats, while the center seat is for volunteers only. (milan seats up to five.) on the plus side, the rear combines ample roominess for two with easy ingress and egress.  the black pebble grain dash was classy and rich looking. The instruments, distinguished from the ford fusion's by a clever faux three-dimensional appearance with a halo-like illumination of needles and dials, were attractive and effective in all but high daylight. In the latter, however, the speedometer numbers were hard to make out. Instrumentation was reasonably complete and included a water-temperature gauge. The message center below the speedometer can be configured to display average mpg, elapsed time, trip odometer for two different trips and fuel miles to empty. Switchgear is chrome trimmed, substantial and confidence inspiring.  the steering wheel contained cruise control and audio settings, and the adjusters were properly designed so that one doesn't inadvertently brush them while turning, accidentally re-selecting the audio. It costs less initially, provides entirely adequate performance, and delivers a stellar epa-rated 31 mpg on the highway and 22 mpg in town. Engine noise was audible, though not unpleasantly so, during acceleration. At highway cruising speeds, however, engine noise, wind noise and outside racket were negligible. This is a very quiet sedan.  the milan's handling suggests anything but a bargain-priced midsize sedan. Its electrical variable-assist power steering is crisp and just weighty enough to deliver good feedback. Cornered vigorously, the chassis is well damped, without being in the least harsh or stiff. In fact, driven hard, the milan is more. Anti-lock Brakes✔ Heated Seats✔ Power Windows✔ AM/FM✔ Cruise Control✔ Climate Control✔ Sunroof/Moonroof
