Before buying Mountaineer 2006

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

1) The new 2006 models seems very reliable so far and are a comfortable ride in any terrain.

2) That A/C system should be fine. Never had any complaints at our Dealership yet.

3) AWD does not make it heavier at all. It simply makes the 4X4 kick in when a slip is detected through the ABS speed sensors. So far it is a good system and does not consume more fuel than a 4X4.

4) Interior is pretty quiet even at hwy speeds.

Take one for a good test drive, you may like it.
