Not perfect, but not bad

Its a Ford Escape with a Mercury label. I've done lots of city, highway and offroad driving with no major complaints. Its the size an SUV should be. Its interior styling is no-frills-American, even the luxury model is basically the entry level model with leather, seat heaters and a fancy radio. I'm not saying I don't like the vehicle, it is very practical and comfortable.
excellent buy

If this SUV had more "Hybrid" competition, it would likely score lower w/me. But since there are few SUV "True Hybrids" out there, this one scores pretty well. Overall I really like it. It is fairly fun to drive, gets decent mileage (27 overall - great for a 4WD SUV), has surprising performance, has Nav, etc. There are downsides... It's ridiculously priced - 33K for an Escape w/a Hybrid drive! It should be in the 25-27K range when compared w/similar SUV's (assuming a 5K Hybrid markup). Buy it used like I did - paid 27k w/only 1,700 miles on it. Other than the Nav/Radio, inside it's a very plain (and dated) Ford product. CD changer under the seat is insane. And the seat cushions are too short.

It's comfy, fun to drive, handles beautifully. My previous cars being 2 Mountaineers, a Ford Explorer, & a sports car, in that order, it does seem small & car-like to me. It did very well last week in a close encounter with a large deer. Parks easily in the city, keeps up will with semi's on the freeway (I drive 35 miles to work in the city & live in the country down a 1100 ft long drive.) It is an excellent utility vehicle; doesn't haul as much as a larger ute, but then it gets much better gas mileage & stills hold a lot of gardening gear & plants in the back. Very quiet drive; fit & finish is very, very good. (Yes, I'd buy another one & recommend it to friends.)
Everything I Expected and More!

Switching from a 5.0L Explorer to the Mariner Hybrid has been a boom to my budget. I've gone from 14 to 30.5 mpg, more than double! I was filling the Explorer 2.5 per week for $150 and now I'm filling every 6 days for $42. The Mariner almost pays for itself! Both my children are learning to drive and they also prefer the Mariner. It's fun to drive, agile, accelerates like a V8, and comfortable. Plenty of room for five adults. I still use the Explorer for hauling large loads or hunting with my retriever, but the Mariner is my first choice.
