Overview & Reviews

The 2010 Mercury Mariner loses its optional in-dash CD changer but gains standard satellite radio, and Sync-equipped models without navigation now offer a communications system that includes 911 assist, traffic reports and turn-by-turn driving directions. Also, the newly standard MyKey system allows parents to limit speed and audio volume for their teen drivers, and a back-up camera is now available, as is a nifty Auto Park feature that steers the car during parallel parking.

• Impressive roster of high-tech goodies, adequate performance and fuel economy, excellent crash test scores.

  Awesome! - 2010 Mercury Mariner
  By ernestb48104 - September 3 - 6:46 pm

  We traded in an 2007 Odyssey (118K) for the Mariner, sure the MARINER is going to be smaller, but it is a nicely built vehicle and suspect we will be keeping this for a while.

  Cant Say Enough About This Vehicle! - 2010 Mercury Mariner
  By kaerae01 - July 5 - 4:20 pm

  I work as a supervisor in the construction industry and was looking for something that could climb over "anything and everything" and through snowy mountains. Got exactly what I wanted with this. It zooms past other larger vehicles, although I did get the V6 Premium model. Got a great deal on it too, so dont limit yourselves to the base model as the premium is more affordable than one would think! Will keep this till it kicks the bucket. Had a Chevy Tracker prior and it couldnt hold a candle to this, and before that a Mercury Tracer. Love this as much as I did my Tracer.

  No Regrets - 2010 Mercury Mariner
  By ernie - January 28 - 6:43 pm

  Being that dad worked for FORDS, I figured it was time to get rid of the Honda Odyssey and downsize into the Mariner. It is a great vehicle and coming from a minivan I was impressed, I dont feel like I am missing anything. The quality is outstanding, and I simply have no regrets!!

  Love my Mariner! - 2010 Mercury Mariner
  By BK2010 - January 11 - 7:40 am

  My M.M is much more than I thought it would be. The big rebates/incentives and good gas mileage (for an SUV) were huge motivators in my decision to purchase a M.M. I was surprisingly shocked at how much I like this SUV. My MPG gauge tells me I am getting 27, great, smooth ride, love the interior & the sun roof. An extra plus is the sync system which I have finally mastered.

  First time Mercury Owner - 2010 Mercury Mariner
  By mariner10 - February 9 - 12:06 pm

  I purchased this vehicle used a few weeks ago and I am very pleased. It is almost 3 years old at this point but only had 11,000 miles on it. Its smaller than the Oldsmobile Bravada I used to have. I am pleased with the gas mileage (28.4) on the highway. I could whine about a few minor things but there is no point. Overall, I really like this vehicle.

  1st Time Mercury Owner - 2010 Mercury Mariner
  By Michelle - Chicago - January 8 - 12:53 pm

  Just bought my Mariner on Jan. 16th. Still learning all about it and getting use to it. I bought the Premier model and enjoy the upgrades. I purchased the 2WD and so far very sufficient for the Chicago weather. I do like the visibility of the SUV styling. Gas mileage..well see how that goes. Too early to tell but it is a SUV. My only complaint at this time is, the noise level. Chicago streets arent the best but when you hit a bump it sounds like the whole rear end of the vehicle is going to fall out. My old Explorer wasnt even that bad on the bumps. Maybe that will get better over time. I hope so!

  Worth A Strong Buying Consideration - 2010 Mercury Mariner
  By J Tolnet - March 24 - 4:06 pm

  The Mariner has thus far been shown to be one of the better vehicles that I have purchased,which numbers in excess of 20, occurring over 45 years of driving. I traded in a 2007 Saturn Aura which was rated as North American Car of the Year, in reality, it was one of the worst, just behind a 1982 American Eagle & 1978 Chrysler Labaron. The Mariner rides smooth and solid over all road types including those classed as rough. Fit & finish are excellent. A bit more than I wanted to spend, but I am well pleased with its initial quality and the way it drives, it is one the easiest driving vehicles that I can recall ever driving. Would I buy this car again ? Yes, without reservation.

  What a ride - 2010 Mercury Mariner
  By mtre - January 14 - 11:23 pm

  This car was actually our number two choice. We had picked out a JGC to purchase but kept getting the run around from the Jeep dealership. All I can say is Thank Goodness they tried to hose us. We got a much better vehicle, with more options, and better overall quality, for a heck of a lot less money. We are sold on Ford products for life. Thank you Bob Howard Ford of Okc! I will never stray to GM or Chrysler again.

  I Treated Myself - 2010 Mercury Mariner
  By normkol - November 25 - 3:16 pm

  I had a Mazda Tribute ES for the last 7 years, and was very happy with it. I decided to treat myself, and moved up to the top of the line Mariner Premium for my new car. This has a new V6, new 6 speed auto, and most options. The optional stereo with Sync is great, Im still learning the features. The ride is comfortable but solid, acceleration is comparable to the old V6, but much quieter. My daughter said the ambient lighting gives it a spaceship feel.
