This Year's Model Updates:
All 2009 Mercury Mariner models are equipped with a new six-speed automatic transmission. The base four-cylinder engine gets a bump in displacement, power and fuel efficiency, while the optional V6 gains a useful 40 horsepower. Additionally, Ford's Sync multimedia integration system is now available, the suspension is tweaked for an improved ride and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls are standard across the board. A new Premier I4 trim level rounds out the changes for 2009.
Pros:
- Comfortable interior, decent performance and fuel economy, full array of standard safety features.
Cons:
- Poor braking from outdated front disc/rear drum setup, hard-to-fold rear seat.
