  A lot of car for the buck - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By lvnorte - September 30 - 9:46 am

  My wife recently wanted a every day small SUV that got good gas mileage She looked at all of the small SUVs in the market including the BMW X3. She was thinking about a Ford Escape and one look at the Mercury Mariner changed all of that. For the price difference which is not much the Mariner has many extra features that make it much more luxurious. Trading from a 740i BMW was a difficult choice, however the premier Mariner was what mife decided she wanted and she has not been disappointed. The vehicle is nice to look at has good performance and economy

  Great car to drive. Comfortable, hugs the road, quiet and fun. Got the Moon roof worth the extra. Getting 27 back and forth (12 miles) to work and 31+ on interstate driving.

  My first suv - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By NEIL THE THRILL - March 30 - 5:10 pm

  I drove to delray beach about 700 mi. And 12 hr in the seat the mariner was a pleasure to drive. The mileage was 27 mi per gallon .The four cylinder engine had plenty of power running on the turnpike at 70 or 80.This little suv offers more for the money than the imports.

  My best car I ever owned - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By RichardTanner - September 30 - 12:43 am

  I love the color of my Mariner. I also like the high clearance below me as I go where other cars scrap. My car seems to also hold the road easily. I hope to have it for a long time. I wish this car would have been made before .My last Mercury was a villager.I liked it too. The sound system is really great as I dont ever remember a better radio/CD player in previous cars.We are planning a long trip this summer in the Mariner. Richard

  listen up!! - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Hans P. - September 20 - 4:13 pm

  I drove a Dodge Ram pickup for 5 yrs. After all this gas price scam the American public was falling victim to I finally bought a car that is easy on my wallet. The Mariner rides great and handles well. The gas mileage is a litle less than advertised. But that depends on ones drivng habits. The only thing I didnt really like was that looking out the rear view mirror is a challege due to the rear seat headrests are in the way. Sooooo I was able to remove them and the rear view is much better.It has a great sound system with a 6 CD changer.

  Classy little truck, dont pass it up - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Chuck - July 31 - 6:23 am

  Overall impression: The exterior of this truck is outstanding.The front and rear fascia make this vehicle classy. Mercury did a great job separating this from the Escape. The interior is equally impressive. The black leather with tan suede inserts steals the show. Truck drives very well, very comfortable, only detractors are tire/driveline noise but its not too bad. You really wont hear it since you will have the mach 360 stereo turned up! Gas mileage is not up to par, hopefully it will improve with more miles on it (averaging 17 mpg city so far).

  Best small SUV - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Sarah - July 5 - 3:23 pm

  I shopped all around and almost bought a Jeep, and now looking back Im so glad that didnt work out! I tend to have a short liking to car and always look for change, but I love this SUV! It has great space, fuel is alright (after all it is a SUV) the only thing I would change is that there is no thermostat in the control center. Other than that I tell everyone to buy one!

  Excellent midsize SUV - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Noel - May 26 - 3:13 am

  I traded a Dodge Dakota and a PT Cruiser in for the Mercury and am completely satisfied. It handles like a sports sedan, gets reasonable mileage, and is very comfortable. It is one of the few SUVs that include crossbars on the roof rack
