I want to start off with saying that this car isn't a bad car by any means. Drives really nicely, sleek, compact, excellent gas mileage, and has truly held up well over the years of use. My fiancé and I haven't had a single issue with it -- until we had a baby. This is definitely not a family car. It only has two doors, so you must lean the seat back to install a car seat, put the baby in, and take out of the car seat too. The back seats are very deep bucket seats, so this is far from ideal with a car seat. Space was also nonexistent inside the car once a baby was in it. However, the trunk, while it looked tiny, managed to hold one convertible stroller and a pack and play!

The car is solid with a good body design and still gets good gas mileage. The car still handles quite well for its age. The electrical system has held up well. The steering and front end are still in great shape. This vehicle has had easy maintenance records, and there's room to work on the vehicle if needed. The interior has held up very well, considering the age of this vehicle. The design doesn't introduce any blind spots. Overall, we've been quite pleased with this Mercury.

Super sleek look. Bucket seats. Great gas mileage. Put you back in your seat leather interior.
