In love with my Mariner

I did quite a bit of research before I made my purchase. It was between the Chevy Equinox and the Mariner. I found the Mariner a better buy for the dollar. It is such a quiet and smooth ride and I love the front wheel drive. My favorite thing is the ice blue display and the display at the top center of the dash. It's very comfortable to drive. I have dogs that go with me often, so the back seats folding completely flat was very important to me. My dissapointments are few. The plastic front grille, only one hanger hook in the entire vehicle and plastic covers over my wheels and last, only a four speed transmission.

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.

We just adore our 2008 Mariner. It's got the quickest V-6 of any of the similar SUVs out there, room for the wheelchair lift, and comfortable for a long roadtrip as well as running errands around town. The backseat folds almost totally flat so it's good for the dogs and crates. Gorgeous inside too.

Bought a new leftover 2008 Mariner Premier with all the toys. Traded in a Explorer Sport Trac (V-8). So far I am extremely happy with the Mariner. Love the leather seats (wish they were heated) and I do miss Sync. Wish the Navigation system had Bluetooth. Overall nice vehicle.

I got the Mariner based on its larger appearing exterior and sharp looks. I am very impressed with the options on my Premier. Leather, rear spoiler, Sirius Radio, running boards, the wood interior trim. I was (and am) traveling from Dallas to Tulsa weekly and the roads vary in quality. I found immediately that the SUV was very comfortable, and I'm averaging 22 MPG over just less than 4000 miles now. It is surpassing my expectations in all respects. No defects, no rattles, no hassles and tight steering. Mercury made a good one for 2008 and I heartily recommend it to anyone who likes the economy and doesn't have a need for a huge SUV.
