At the end of several days with the Villager LS, we were still impressed with how comfortable it was. As we said before, this minivan was developed from the start as a passenger-oriented vehicle, not a converted cargo hauler.As well as being comfortable, it also offered plenty of rich appointments and thoughtful features. On the road, we could barely hear the engine or feel the transaxle shift. In many regards, the Villager LS shares a lot of traits with other Mercury vehicles. It is a rock-solid minivan-we simply couldn't find any rattles or squeaks. The overall engineering was superb-in fact, one member of our test-drive team thought the Villager LS was actually overbuilt. For the price, buyers should expect nothing less.
