Mariner Premier
Car rated as 21 - 28 mpg. Was initially pleased as I got 22+ mpg in town. Then I took a trip to Nashville (902 miles roundtrip). Was disappointed when this 4 cylinder returned a miserable 24.3 mpg. I drove the speed limit using cruise control for almost the entire trip. Went back to the dealer who stated they had a quite a few people commenting on the weak mileage. They stated it was because most gas had 1-10 percent ethanol added. Did not believe it as the SUV I traded in averaged 29-30 mpg for the same trip. It had the same HP engine and weighed only 100 lbs less. Of course there is a disclaimer on the window sticker stating the mileage may vary between 23- 33mpg. Guess I'm stuck.
Not a Mountaineer
I got this vehicle after driving a Mountaineer for 6 years. The Mariner was a little disappointing-comparitvely speaking. I got a great deal on it however. Gas mileage is OK, comfort is OK, but the drive is noisey at best. And, while I did get the 'flex fuel' model, there is no flex fuel to be found in my area of the country - what is the point?

Car nut... so this shouldn't be.
Was looking for a new ride for my wife. We have a 2005 Escape and she pretty much loves it. She set aside a 2002 Highlander and took the Escape from me. So we recently shopped the New Highlander, Venza, and CRV along with new Escape. I thought the new Escape fit me like a Mummy box. Nice for around time, but no room to move around on 300 mile trips. The new Highlander was big! The Venza, expensive and ridiculous 20" wheels. CRV the seats don't suit me and she felt it wasn't substantial. So what do we do... look for a new used "old style" Escape. This Merc was priced better, has some toys like phone interface and the "jukebox" and "nav" that seems to work well.
Great SUV, sad for it to end
This SUV has been reliable and steady for me for the past four years. The fit and finish are poor and it's not much to look at in the silver, but it's a solid vehicle. The entertainment system isn't fabulous because the radio (whether Sirius XM or AM/FM) cuts in and out, even in wide open spaces. The leather interior seats have darkened for some reason, making it look as though I work in the coal industry. Instead, I'm an office worker and pride myself on hygiene so this is bizarre. I feel safe in the vehicle and its ride is smooth enough, but road noise is certainly evident. Even with rotating the tires and not putting many miles on each year, it's had the tires replaced every 18 months. No idea why nor can the dealership tell me why because they've ruled out alignment, etc.

Nice driving, quiet car. 6 speed tranny works best under moderate to strong acceleration.
