Before buying Mountaineer 2006

[Big BoSS 88]

Good afternoon everybody,

I am really happy that I am joining you today and hope to learn alot from you.

Initially I was planning to get GMC Envoy 06 but I shifted to Mercury after I have seen it last weekend.

I have some question regarding this car and I am willing to read some openions,

1- How is the car and how stong and stable it is in long distance trips and off-raods as well?

2- How it's A/C the temperature of the car is it stable since I am from hot areas where temperature in the summer reaches 50 degrees C or 120 degree F?

3- About the AWD, is it really better than the 4WD? and does it consume more gasloline? and as i understand that it will make the car heavier, is it true?

4- Finally, about the sound insulation in the car especially when speeding is there any sound of the air or the engine?

I am really sorry for asking these much questions but I really require your help.

Thanks alot

OK , Here is my opinion

1 . stable on road and off. More comfortable than previous versions

2. The AC works well but takes a little bit to cool the big cabin. Once you
get it cool , it will stay cool.

3. Some people like AWD. It has it's up's and downs. No , it is not better
than 4WD. 4WD is much better off road and AWD is better on the road.

4. Sound insulation is good but you will hear the engine. Personally , I like
to hear the engine.

Good SUV all the way around. The 3rd generation Mountaineers don't have
the ground clearance of the 1st and 2nd gens. I think the 1st and 2nd gens are much better off road but the 3rd gens are much better on road. I have a 98 explorer and a 02 mountaineer. My Dodge Neon has more ground clearance than the GMC. GM sucks !!
