How come it's a secret
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.

Great buy!
Mileage as advertised! I commute 1.75 hrs per day in DC-area traffic and have averaged 31.9 mpg over 5,000 miles thus far, but I do pay attention to good driving techniques to optimize the capabilites of the hybrid system. I absolutely love the car and derive great pleasure from driving a fun, practical vehicle that is easy on the environment. Drivability, amenities, and comfort are excellent as other reviewers have stated. Everyone I've had in the car is shocked by the performance and sophistication of the vehicle's hybrid drive - so much better than their hybrid preconceptions, especially re acceleration.
The Most Fun to Drive of All
I love driving the sports car like handling Mariner hybrid that didn't force me to give up an ounce of day-to- day practicality. I'm public speaker that travels two large NM counties and carry a lot of audio visual and training equipment I fold the back seats down to open up 65 cubic feet of room. (The small car truck and back seats) of other Hybrids would not work. The Mariner's stylish interior is great for my needs. I look forward to driving on long trips (even with gas at $2.89 plus a gallon). If you take a Mariner on a test drive, you will not want to give it back. The heck with MPG this thing is FPG - Fun Per Gallon. Perry D. Lawson
Mercury Mariner Hybrid
I owned a Lincoln Aviator before this.There is no comparison. This car is cheaply built!It has uncomfortable seats with paper thin leather, poor sound system, you can hear the outside air through the windows, it has a rough ride. Overall it is just a cheap, uncomfortable car that was definitely not worth 30-some thousand dollars!
