Used 2005 Mercury Mariner Consumer Reviews
Mercury Mariner
We just bought this car and we love it. It is the perfect size for us, plenty of room in the back, the V6 engine is powerful. I would recommend it to anyone.
Worst Vehicle I've Ever Owned
I have owned my Mariner less than a month and I have already determined this is the worst vehicle I have ever owned. After only two weeks, permanent stains showed up on the side panels from some liquid that had been thrown up by the tires. The dealer claimed it was Armour All from the tires but agreed to repaint all of the panels because they shouldn't have stained so easily. That process took over a week. There is also a noise inside the door that sounds like a ball bearing rolling around--the source can't be found. A $32,000 vehicle should not have this many initial problems!

Awesome SUV with some small issues
I love my Mariner. I bought it a week ago but I do regret buying it a little in the middle of this gas crisis... oh well. I have experienced some buzz/crackling with the speakers and the subwoofer is nothing close to the Infinity sub I have in my basement. However, the stereo sounds great when there is no distortion in the speakers. I wish Ford would update their plain and boring entertainment clusters. The rest of the car looks great. The suede insets on my seats are already a little marked up and I don't know how I should go about cleaning them -- if at all. The knobs on the roof rack were murder on my thumbs. Are those things meant to be turned? LOL Overall I am very happy with it.
third suv
we went looking for another suv- had an explorer- traded in for expedition- which saved my life in a rollover on ice-- bought another expedition- and now we wher in of a second car/suv- in looking around at other models- we settled on the marnier on first site- bought the suv- without even test driving- and then drove it home 27 miles from the dealer-- and loved every minute of that drive- looking forward to taking the suv this weekend to las vegas- and given the expedition a rest...
Mariner
First SUV I've owned -- love it!! Minor annoyances include bad placement of heated seat control, gas guzzler, and poor rear view/back-up view.
