I love my car, but just had an issue with losing power and no warning. At @42,000 miles the throttle sensor malfunctioned and I lost all power without warning! I was traveling at night on the freeway, so this was especially frightening. That being said, I get aroun 30mpg on the highway and 27 in the city...love the size and feel. I am concerned about excessive tire noise...I've been told this is a problem with the Continental tires which are hard. I'll be replacing them soon, but overall, with the hard driving I've put this car through, it's been a champ!

I just got this car a few weeks ago after having an accident in my Pacifica. I pulled upon the lot and this one, an Equinox and a Saturn Outlook caught my eye, all sitting on the front line. Now, keep in mind I have never been able to "shop" on the front line. I was reassured by the dealership that I could get into anything on the lot. I asked him about the Equinox and the Saturn and both faired compaired to the Mercury Mariner. It was shorter than I expected but I loved the look. To me it could hold up to the more well known SUV of this size. Mine is white and the first thing that caught my eye. It just looked good. I do a walk around and I love the size of the tires. I get in and the interior is great for a 2008 with about 107K miles. It has power everything except the passenger side seat and the tailgate. I can't put my foot under the back like the Ford Escape (the Mariner is a Ford product and the Escape's counter part). Ok. No problem. I turn the car on and take for a ride. Honestly, it tickled me the way the instrument panel lite up. The ride was smooth and quiet and the radio system is pretty good as well. There is a sunroof that, unfortunately had me a little confused. Went through the car wash and water was lightly sprinkling in. It's a great car for the money and fits my family of 4.

It's about what you need. This meets all my needs with it's style, p/up, leather, sunroof, back window defrost and wiper. I am a small person so it is plenty big enough for me interior wise. It has almost zero blind spot. I luv it!
Great car!
