Used 2005 Mercury Mariner Consumer Reviews
My brand new mariner is a great vehicle
Drives and handles very well mercury did a great job on this suv.I love that everything is in hands reach you don't have to look down to mess with any controls and thats definetly a plus for a mom.
I LOVE THIS TRUCK
I bought this truck after going to look at the Mountaineer due to all the commercials there have been lately. Very happy so far with the purchase. Outside of a smallish gas tank and hungry V6. Beutiful looking truck, well put together. this thing gets a lot of attention because there are not many out there. GO BUY ONE if you are thinking of an mid size SUV I drove them all and this is the beat of everything all in one

Just What I Was Waiting For.....
I never thought I'd part w/ my Volvo until I saw the Mariner! I hate big cars-I refused to get a minivan, and resented every day I drove my husband's (very nice, but large)Jeep G.Cherokee, while he sported about in my S40. But there was no room in the Volvo for my double stroller and 2 car seats!In fact, I felt cramped in the Jeep despite its size.I always wished for a PRETTY SUV the size of my Volvo by a strong auto maker.Mercury listened! Hubby's a Ford man-I told him I liked it, & he was sold! My Mariner is almost 2in shorter than the S40, with as much interior space as the Jeep! The cargo is plenty for my stroller and groceries I'm in love,& no more $8 Volvo replacement bulbs!
Long Term Review
In short, this has been a really pleasant vehicle for the past 5 years. This was my first SUV, I wanted something with storage but not something huge. I have a small roadster that I drive most of the summer, and every time I get back into the Mariner I'm reminded about how comfortable it is. Easy to drive & park with a very comfortable interior for short and long trips. My only problem was a radio with a defective speed sensor (which was replaced under warranty). Recommended if you're looking for a small SUV.
The Mariner, just short of excellence
Love the car, not putting gas in it. I also miss having some more electronical gadgets in it. Too many gadgets have to be put in after market. Also not enough power outlets.
