Practical and Dependable

I bought this car fresh out of college in 2006 and so far, no complaints. This is not the flashiest car on the road, but there are several times when I pat myself on the back for choosing this one. I disagree with any owner that criticizes engine power because for the size and amount of money, this thing has some punch to it. I am approaching 40,000 miles and I have had no mechanical issues what-so-ever. Overall, I rate this car very dependable, practical and a great every-day ride. My best friend even bought one because she liked mine.

Love My Mariner

This is one of the best cars I have owned. I love the luxurious feel of the interior. It feels like I'm in an upscale SUV and it's a Mercury! I have had an Escape and the Mariner is so much nicer. I can't say enough good things about this car. The V6 has loads of power. My only drawback is the gas mileage - but it's an SUV so what do you expect?!

We purchased the Mariner over the Escape because of the nicer interior. The light grey seats seem to hold water stains and other stains and do not clean well. We have a very bad squeak on the rear left side - and driver's side window squeaks loudly when opened. Disappointed.

We love this vehicle. My wife actually picked it out. I've used it to haul cargo with back seats folded down and was amazed at the room inside. Although it is still quite new so gas mileage probably isn't correct yet, it seems to do very very well on a gallon of gas.
