Used 2005 Mercury Mariner Consumer Reviews
my little fun suv
I have had this car since the 31st of december and have had a ball driving it handles very well and really enjoy the heated seats on cold mornings. Would like the suv more if it had a navigational system or onstar available on ford products.
Too Much Vibration
I leased a 4 cyl. 4wd Mariner for commute purposes. The size is perfect, and it has been a champ in snow and rain. Unfortunately, the car has an annoying whine at 1,000 rpm that the dealer says in "normal" and under various condition vibrates excessively. At 55 and 75 mph the vehicle feels like the tires are unbalanced (they were checked by two dealer). If parked on a steep downhill, the vehicle vibrated very strongly in park. The pretty interior finishes and materials are not very durable. In retrospect, I should have gone with the Chevy Equinox.

I soooo love it!!
I'm lovin this car! The interior is as roomy as my husband's Jeep GC, but so much smaller! I traded in a Volvo that I loved, but I am not missing it! This vehicle is my perfect "mommy-mobile," but I still feel very stylish in it. It holds the 2 carseats plus another person well in the back, and the front is very roomy. The pick-up is substantial, the AWD works great in the Cleveland winter, and it handles like a small car. It is comfortable to drive and the ride is quite smooth. I Absolutely love it!
Love my Mariner
I absolutely love my Mariner. I bought it new three years ago and I haven't had one complaint with it. I love that this SUV has a sporty look, but at the same time it's elegant. My Mariner is black with beige leather interior and it's so bueatiful. I get so many compliments on it (still after 3 years). It's big enough for 5 people to fit comfortably, yet driving it's so easy to get in and out of small spaces. I just can't say enough about this vehicle. Beleive me you will love this SUV.
Initial impression exceeds expectations
This is my first Ford (L-M) product in twelve years. I wanted an SUV for the hauling capability, yet didn't want the mileage penalty. The 4 cylinder is quite peppy, and provides decent mileage (23-24 MPG overall in the break-in period). I can't wait to see what it finally settle into. Styling is by far the nicest of all of the SUV's on the road. Interior is well laid out, and has plenty of room for tall individuals. The only criticism is that the seats are a bit narrow, but at least they are forgiving and provide decent comfort. For a base convenience, this vehicle comes well equipped. The base CD system is very nice. I'd recommend a test drive, you will be pleasantly surprised.
