Used 2009 Mercury Mariner Hybrid Consumer Reviews
Fun to drive
I got this vehicle a week ago, and I'm really enjoying it. I averaged 37mpg on the first tank of gas, mostly city but some highway travel. Still learning the hybrid and how to maximize mileage, but I'm having fun doing it. The Nav system with the Sync and Sirius is awesome, it does so much. Very tight, handles well and runs well. The small engine has some pep, alittle noisy when you punch it down, but it handles the hills of Pittsburgh with ease.
My 3rd and Favorite Hybrid
Easy to love this car. Great style. Fuel economy and build quality surpassed my expectations. I get the economy of a Civicand the roominess of a mid-sized SUV. Fully loaded with NAV, and leather under $30K. I average 30 MPG combined.

Fun to drive
I've owned my Mariner Hybrid for a little over two weeks, got 37mpg out of first tank, 34mpg with highway and city on second tank. Very impressed with this vehicle, love the Nav with Sync and Sirius. Mercury hit a home run with this one. Rides very nice, comfortable with loads of front leg room.
Exceeding Expectations
Going from a Cadillac DTS to the Mariner Hybrid, I thought I might be giving up some creature comforts and settling for less, but I'm not. The car handles well, it's fun to drive, I love the visibility of being higher, and I'm totally hooked on seeing how gas efficient I can drive. My husband and I are competing to see who can drive the longest 'for free' in other words, driving just via the battery and with no gas. My regular driving habits are giving me about 30-31 MPG, a significant improvement from the Cadillac's 16-18 MPG average. It's been a long time since I've felt this great about a new car!
Bob's Review
Have enjoyed seeing the remaining mileage change slowly while the average mileage builds from the 22 that it started at to over 29 for the kind of driving that I do. Still push it, having traded in a Lincoln LS for this vehicle. It feels stable for an SUV, having driven a few. Quiet is nice. With Hybrid we did not expect as much as we have gotten with drivability. This is a nice vehicle.
