1997 Mercury Mountaineer V6
Summary:
Sporty-Great SUV
Faults:
Starter and Wolf speaker, also has a gas-egg smell sometimes. I was told it is not the converter, but one of the sensors.
General Comments:
Great vehicle, very dependable, I upgraded from an Explorer. I got leather, sun roof, it's loaded. I love it. I would like the third seat, but other than that I really have no complaints. I do have one complaint and that is the air noise around the windows. But I also had that problem with my Explorer.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have the same egg/gas smell in my 97 Mountaineer. I just recently noticed it. I never thought much about it until I read your review. Do you know what it is? Do you think I should get it checked out?
Also, did your power antenna break too? It's a common problem that the antenna gets stuck in the up position. I would like to replace the whole thing with a solid non powered mast antenna, however haven't found the parts to do this yet.
