Used 2008 Mercury Mariner Consumer Reviews
Great Buy!
First off, Mercury has hit the jackpot! I drove the '07 Toyota Rav 4 and for a 6' tall guy, very uncomfortable! (Plus, not very manly!) The Mariner is just a great SUV that gets pretty good gas mileage. I've averaged 27 hwy and 24 city. The construction is great too! All car manufacturers are going with a lot of plastic and we all know it. But the interior is very nicely put together. Try the Rav 4 first and then drive the Mariner... you'll see the difference!
Nice, Comfortable Mariner
I like my new Mariner, but i already found improvements that need to be made, i love the ice blue lighting, the premier model, the exterior design, the radio and HVAC control design. the engine i think is underpowered, and the transmission needs some work, i had to tramp it to the floor 3 or 4 times to finally get it to down shift around like 25-30 MPH. The premier model, go for it. And 4WD go for it too! Unfortunately I didn't get the 4WD, which is a huge mistake, it isn't that well in the snow.

Great Midsize SUV
The Mariner Premier V6 AWD midsize SUV is loaded with features including 6 way power seat, 17" aluminum wheels, 4 disc brakes, rear park assist, leather heated seats and dual climate control. Drivers seat (Lumbar) is very comfortable, excellent ride, quiet, superb radio/7-speaker system. We also own a 2007 Lexus RX 350 and enjoy the Mariner's features as much.
Happy
I love my Mariner! I think it drives very smooth and takes turns like a champ! I love everything about my car! I feel safe and that was a number one concern I had when shopping for a car! So if you are thinking about getting one do it!
Highly Impressed
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.
