Used 2005 Mercury Mariner Consumer Reviews
commentary on my mariner
so far the only thing that I am not pleased with is the mileage it seems to use a lot more gas than I anticipated so I am disappointed
Mariner 2005 tires!
The only complaint I have and it ruins what oitherwise would be a good experience with a Ford product is the tire noise. The Continental Contirac tire's are noisy to the point of distraction and I curse them every time I drive it. Both Ford and Continental choose to egnore the problem of basically putting truck tires on this vehicle. Too bad they had a good thing going with the Mariner and let tires spoil this potential.

We love this vehicle
This SUV is still new to us, but so far the whole family loves it. My daughter asked her mom to drive her to school today in the Mariner instead of the Jaguar. Kid you not. I feel the size is just right (better luggage space than the ordinary "small" SUV). It handles very well, drives smooth. Safety features make it an additional value, even for a budget conscious consumer.
This was a good choice
Real fun to drive although I feel its terrible on gas and the tank could be alot bigger than it is. Interior is very well planned but side seat controls are hard to access with doors closed. One problem I am experiencing is braking noise coming from both front and rear calipers, somewhat like it sounds when the brakes are worn and need replacing. Need to contact dealer on this. They are definatly dealing, with 1400 off sticker and 2750 in rebates I came in under 24000. All told, a great value I thought.
Great Little SUV (and a Bargain)
I tested the Mariner and the Escape and found the Mariner to be a much better vehicle for about the same price. The Mariner is quieter and much more appealing, inside and out. It's very comfortable for a big person to enter and exit.
