Used 2005 Mercury Mariner Consumer Reviews
I loved this SUV!
I owned this SUV for 9 years and it served me well. I currently lease a 2017 SUV and it doesn't compare to the features on the Mariner. The only thing I love on the new SUV is the Bluetooth feature. As the Mariner approached 10 years old, it started to need more maintenance which usually cost between $300-$1000 each time. Even though I only had 95,000 miles on it when it was sold, it needed about $1600 in repairs, which I could not justify. I was planning to sell it in October 2017, but sold it June 2017.

New Mariner
We bought the Mariner right after the holidays, so we've had a month with it and absolutely love it. Very comfortable ride and quiet, almost like a car. We were hesitantly traded in our aging subaru outback, but now couldn't be happier. Exterior styling is excellent. We opted not to get the luxury enhancement package and comfort package (which would add power seat, driver message center, auto headlights), but we dont miss them. The manual driver seat is plenty adjustable for me and my wife to both drive comfortably, and the car is still very functional without the other features.

Love It!!
I previously drove a Toyota Corolla and thought it was a great auto. Since driving the compact Mariner, I love the handling and sitting up higher. A very nice automobile.
Mariner
This has been the most trouble-free car I've owned. I recently checked the highway mileage and was pleased to find I was getting 27 MPG.
Mariner handles like a dream
Just purchased the Mercury Mariner 4wd and love it. This is the second snow storm in two weeks, and it handles perfectly thru the heavy conditions. The last two days I've insisted that my wife drive it to work for her safety. It does handle like a car not stiff like the Explorer we had last.
