A great vehicle
While I have put less than 1000 miles on my new Mariner, I am quite impressed with the hybrid design and am averaging over 35 mpg. So far I love the car and the overall design. Lot of room and flexibility. Ford has done a great job !
Impressed
Last year I test drove the 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid (cousin of the Mariner). I was underwhelmed. Fit and finish wasn't impressive, it wasn't a very smooth ride, and the nav system was terrible. I found myself in the hybrid market this year instead. I test drove the Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Rav4. Before plucking down serious $$ for either of these, I decided to test drive the newly redesigned 2008 Mercury Mariner (influenced by reviews on this site). I have to say the test drive knocked my socks off! Very plush, top notch nav system, and very smooth ride. I opted for the FWD version. I avg 29mpg and love it! Fully loaded, I paid much less than a stripped Highlander!
Very Happy
I have had this car/suv for 4 weeks and it average's 32+ in mixed driving. If I drive highway miles and it has good accelleration and still average 32+. Not loaded with nav or leather or AWD as we didn't need it. Nice to have but not needed. Car handles very well. Free satellite is welcome but with MP3 link, it's not gonna be missed when gone. All new vehicles should have an MP3 connection. Looks great inside and out, fits 3 adults in back seat comfortably and is quiet. Absolutely love the ride and the technology. Kudos to Mercury for producing a solid ride with MPG/environment in mind. Looking to add top notch car mats and cargo tray for 2 large dogs.
Great ride!
I haven't had it long, but I love the vehicle. I'm averaging about 30.5 mpg on mixed driving. Acceleration, has plenty of power and the ride is very smooth.
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.
