Love My Mariner

Well, I have had my Mariner for a year now and simply, I love it! It is a great car that I feel safe in. It looks sharp and holds a lot for a smaller SUV. The only downside so far is that the gas milage is a little less than I expected and disappointing with the current cost of gas, but still I would never trade it!

This is a very beautiful vehicle. I bought the Premier 4WD model in Norsea Blue with Black Interior. It really drives and looks great. I got every availabl option except the moonroof. I wish they had more options though. This is more of a mid- size vehicle than a compact. It has plenty of room to spare.

I recently had some serious electrical issues with my 2001 Volvo S-40 and was at the mechanics more than I was at school or work. Like most people my time is one of my most valuable assets. I saw the Mariner on a snowy day and thought ,why not? Warranty, New, Cheap parts after warranty,good in the snow (supposedly), and lets not forget the rebates that helped with the negative inequity on the Volvo.

I just purchased our Mariner for my wife on 10/04/2004. We chose the Mariner because of the refinement and class that it has. This is more upscale than the Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute. There are also far fewer Mariners out there for now. The quality exceeds our expectations. Handleing and performance are exceptional as well. The fit and finish are excellent too. I am a tall big guy and I fit in the Mariner with ease and am very comfortable. There is also plenty of back seat leg and head room. Great lighting from headlights and fog/driving lights. The ride is smooth and responsive.

I needed to replace my vehicle and stopped by my LM dealership. I own a Ford Escape and WOW does this put that vehicle to shame. The comfort, the ride, the handling. Awesome. I recommend everyone at least test drive this vehicle. I was torn between the Mariner and the Mountaineer and I know I made the right choice.
