high tech car, low tech dealer
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.

2007 my impression
good handling and mileage. adequate power but stupid navigator system (small screen, uses multiple cds to operate), no temperature indicator, a/c does not have thermostatic control, harsh ride, wheel adjustment does go high enough, and does not have electonic stability control (a must for a new car)
Three Month's With My New Hybrid
This was my 1st SUV and I'm glad I got a hybrid. Like many others raters, I really squeeze every mile out of a gallon of gas. I really stretch out the time on "electric". I average 31- 32 mpg. You have to be willing to change the way you drive is KEY to buying a hybrid. The navigation feature is super and easy to use. The moonroof opens further than "standard". The only problem has been a software issue with the on- board computer which the Dealer is making every effort to correct. If everyone's car turned off like mine in stop'n'go traffic or carpool line, then we won't emit so many greenhouse gases and not be so dependent on oil. Even though it costs more, U get tax credit & gas cost savings
MILEAGE 29.4 MI/GAL HWY - SAME AS EPA
After hearing so many reports of EPA mileage not being accurate, I was surprised that the mileage on my new Mercury Hybrid SUV was as advertised. (About 29.4 mi/gal HWY. 366 mi on 12.5 gal of gasoline.) The ride is nice, the interior is above average, and the automatically adjusting volume on the radio is a cool feature. I like the SUV style and the great $2600 tax credit this year for buying a Green SUV - but that being said, the lack of a third row seat makes it only a so-so choice if you have more than three kids. If the SUV style and tax credit are not important to you, you might be happier opting for the 2007 Camry Hybrid when it comes out later this year.
