Quite a fun car to drive. Has reasonable power, good mileage, good handling. Big disappointment was that in spite of the fact that both the sticker and the website data sheet say the CD-player is MP3-capable, it isn't! Not even with the premium package! The salesmen said it could play MP3s, but later admitted he didn't know what an MP3 was - he was just going on the sticker. The service people were totally clueless and unwilling to help. I just HATE spending something like $1500 for a stupid radio and it won't even play MP3s. Don't rely on the dealer or the service people to know anything much about the electronics.
Stealthy Marketing?????

I went to check out the Escape - never heard of the Mariner -and found this one on the lot (a return, or a reject?). After a couple of thousand miles I still really enjoy the experience of the drive. My boys love it (they hated the Odyssey we traded in) and it has become my commute vehicle and the one we thrash around in on weekends. A bit small luggage carrying-wise so we picked up a Yakima luggage carrier. I would love to hear if anyone has really driven it on soft sand. I am a little suspect of that claim.

Insurance company deemed it a total loss after a front end collision. Got $4000 for it. I only paid $2900 when I purchased it 4 years ago.

I found this truck to be a smooth ride on rough roads, comfortable seats, unbelievable economy, good pickup for a SUV, nice with the premium package.
Excellent SUV

This car features extremely nimble handling. This is strengthened by strong low-end torque provided by the electric motor. For a small SUV interior space is surprisingly large. Seems well made with a rigid body structure that makes it feel very safe. Excellent visiblity in every direction. Hybrid components work flawlessly together.When willing to drive the speed limit (city or highway) I consistenly get around 30 mpg. Very careful driving will do even better in town. Unfortunately the car invites a heavy foot which drops the mileage to 25 or less. Still this is way better than our '05 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
