I've only had it for a week (Luxury FWD Satelite Silver), but I love it. (I sold my 2001 CRV no power at all, but reliable). It is a bit fuel greedy, feels solid, sturdy, rides like a car, rides better than my Honda, acceleration is good. I noticed some vibration in the gas pedal below 60 miles per hr, but that seems to be disappearing the more I drive it. (I only have 650 miles on it).
Love Love Love My car.

It is great. It is compact. TERRIBLE ON GAS. Fun to drive. Has a great wheel base. DOES NOT BREAK DOWN ALOT. I can not wait to save for a newer one. Had mine 9 years. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. BEST CAR . I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A WHILE.

i just bought this car after reading the numerous reviews.i think it's a good car. my only only problem so far is the gas mileage especially now that prices are to the ceiling.the gas tank is really small,that means i'm at the gas pump every 250-300miles.the v4 is a good alternative if you just want the looks. nice overall design,seats are excellent.drives fast. cd changer is a little slow to change,load or eject cds.
Love my Mariner!

I love my Mariner. I went from a Mustang to this "more family" type vehicle. The power is impressive for this suv. It is very comfortable for me. I did remove the side steps because I found they really served no purpose, my dress would drag across and get dirty when getting in. I removed them and problem fixed and it looks great still. I love that the back glass will open by itself, I've used this feature very often already. the gas mileage I average is 18.6 (better than my Mustang) so I'm happy.
Not all happy

Let me start on the positive. The Mariner is pretty inside and out,as compared to the Escape and Tribute. I have two major issues with this vehicle. First, there is an undeniable steering wheel vibration at highway speeds (70+). After 4 failed service appts., I demanded I drive another (no different). The dealer blames it on Continental Tires, but after replacing all with Michelins, same problem. They openly revealed that Ford/Mercury is aware of the issue and is "working on it." Another model issue is the brakes. Very loud in cold weather and snow and they are "developing" a replacement pad that won't be ready until March 05 (I'm on the "list"). Lastly, horrible gas mileage!
