Mariner Premier V6 is loaded with features for the money. I previously owned 4 Mazda products and wanted a Tribute but dealer could not locate a Grand Touring V6 in 3 states. I now feel the Mercury (based on Tribute) is the better choice. More features and more upscale look. I'm very pleased.

When I went to purchase this vehicle I wanted everything on it and I got it. I love almost everything about it. I like that is looks way more expensive than what it actually cost. Its classy. the interior is great too. I have plenty of room to take my friends/family along. I feel very safe when driving this vehicle.

Great Small Luxury SUV

I actually got misty-eyed trading in my Mariner last week for a less expensive, sub-compact. My Mariner was loaded with amenities, including european leather-seat design which drew tons of compliments, premium sound system and navigation. The vehicle was comfortable and very pleasant to drive in the city or on the highway (20.5/27.5 mpg). Never had any trouble with it for the 28,000 miles I put on it. The 9-speaker/6 CD premium sound was worth every penny extra. I cannot say enough about how well this car was designed and made. I am looking forward to better economic times when I can trade in my new sub-compact for another Mariner.

So far, so good. Hopefully the gas mileage of all cars will improve in the next 39 months. Went for the basic model this time. Not bad at all. Like the height and handling and new safety features. 360 visability is awesome. Great tailgate options of opening the window or the whole back...rear wiper too! Quiet, smooth ride. Love the Moon and Tune package, sunroof and Sirius radio. Senior parents found it a bit tough to get into, but they made it. Center console is well designed and there are plenty of cupholders. Great in the rain, let's see about the snow.

I had a 2001 Tribute that I got rid of in 2006 when I purchased a V6 RAV4. I was never really happy with the RAV4, it just didn't have the things on my Tribute that I liked so I went back and found the Mariner and love it. It's like coming home. I will admit it does not have the pick up that the RAVhad even though I have a V6 currently. But besides that it got lots of room and comfortable seats. We just drove 8 hours in one day for a vacation and had no problems with our backs.
