Extremely Pleased So Far!

First SUV and thought I would give Ford/Mercury a shot. Extremely pleased after 6 weeks with this vehicle. Not sure of the reliability, so I bought the extended warranty. Hopefully it's what it appears to be and I'll have made a good choice.

I love this car! I haven't been excited about a car in a long time, and this one makes me very happy. I can get 32mph hwy and 26-28 city! My husband is just under 7ft tall and can drive and sit in the car very comfortably. When he is in the driver's seat, the back seat behind him still has plenty of leg room. Drives great on the highway and I've put a lot of highway miles on it. My son has already put his claim to the car when he gets his license. Super cargo room. Sporty, fun and very economical to drive. They've missed a bet not promoting this vehicle more aggressively.

Many Improvements - '08 Best One Yet!

Had an '06 Escape, but the '08 made such great improvements. The Mariner offers more deluxe features over the Escape. Cup holders are a major improvement, as is the ice blue dash lights and the dash-top center display. Exterior appearance looks tough, yet elegant, and the ride is finally smooth and comfortable. Passengers compliment the feel of the rear seats and from the front, it feels roomier and slightly "bigger."

Have a little over 700 miles and getting almost 22 MPG with A/C on. V-6 extremely quiet, has plenty of power. Interior is so quiet. Night and day diffeernce over 2005 Hyundai Santa FE, which was a piece of junk.

Great Work Car!

I traded in a Lincoln Mark LT for my Mercury Mariner to get better gas mileage to and from work. For a small SUV, I am impressed with the room and amenities provided. Stepping down to the Mercury, I still opted for leather, moon roof, and six disk CD.
