Used 2005 Mercury Mariner Consumer Reviews
What a surprise!!!
I was looking for space, but not necessarily for an SUV. I had always liked the Ford Escape but was put off by the interior. I checked the Mazda6 wagon and really like it and the Chevy Equinox and hated it. It was kind of weird arriving to my local Lincoln Mercury dealership, it felt like they wouldn't have anything for me. Was a up for a surprise. The minute I test drove the Mariner I know I had to have one. Felt classy and American. You feel intelligent driving this little SUV, especially knowing the price. Feels good, looks good, sounds good. After 1 week the good feeling hasn't faded. I miss things like the stereo controls on the steering wheel, but I love my Mariner a lot
Sporty SUV
I just recently purchased the Mercury Marinier the end of March 2005. So far I think it is a great small SUV. I have driven 4 Explorers over the last 9 years & I feel the Marinier has a very roomy interior.

I made the right choice
I have been researching this vehicle for several months in the automoblle magazines. It is everything I expected it to be. Build quality is excellent. Black paint is perfect. Interior well thought out with good fit and quality. The ride is a lot more confortable than the Mark 8 I traded in, and gas milage is in the mid 18's. Dealership gave me a great deal and with the 1.9 financeing it was a go.
2005 White Mariner
Lots of pep and great handling. Mileage about 3-4 mpg better than 2002 Explorer that was previous vehicle. Ride is about equal even tho it is smaller.
Affordable Luxury
We test drove a bunch of vehicles including the Chevy Equinox, Isuzu Axiom, Honda CR-V, and the Mitsubishi Endeavor. Being in our late 20s, my wife and I didnt ever think that we would be looking, let alone buying a Mercury, but we did. We fell in love with everything from the two-tone leather to the waterfall grill. My wife is 410 so the larger SUVs were out of the question. The seat had more than enough adjustment to suite her needs. The Mariner is far from a cloned Escape. It is definitely in a league of its own.
