This hybrid is awesome. I bought it for my wife. Ii find that I am trying to find ways to get the keys from her hands. This Mariner is just fun to drive and well appointed. Everything about it just wow. Definitely pleased. Plus the tax incentive will definitely help offset the cost. Must go drive and try out. If you can afford to spend a little more, it's worth it!

Just switched from an '05 Mariner FWD V6 to a 08 AWD Hybrid and we are super impressed. Great redesign of a car we we still liked from the first version. The interior is much improved and seems bigger although it is not. Overall a more upscale looking vehicle. Hybrid engine is a joy to drive. So far we are hitting close to 30 even with the majority of miles being on the highway.

I have had the car for two weeks now and couldn't be happier. The efficiency is precisely what was projected, the creature comforts have exceeded my expectations, and even my 9-year old son thinks the car is cool.

Environmentally Responsible SUV

My wife and I bought the Mariner a week ago. We have always had Toyotas and were skeptical at first. I have to say that this runs better than any other hybrid I have ever driven. The smooth transitions between electric and gas modes are amazing. The mileage is close to what the sticker says. The Mariner is comfortable and fun and Ford deserves a BIG pat on the back for developing this vehicle. I only wish they were not so hard to find. I also hope more people who need an SUV check this one out. It is truly amazing!

Big Improvement Over Previous Models

With the blacked-out B-pillars, the 2008 model looks more grown-up than the 2005-2007 models. The CD player is now in the center stack not under the passenger seat, the navigation screen is much bigger and is touch-screen and utilizes a DVD. There is a 110 volt power outlet, and automatic headlamps. The view is commanding. The handling is nimble. The fuel economy wonderful. There is sufficient power to pass tractor-trailers going up steep hills. The brakes have a good feel to them. The steering is well-weighted. The vehicle is very well-balanced front to rear.
