  Nice roomy small suv - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Nic - May 14 - 10:53 am

  Great small suv and very good looking. Lots of wind noise on the highway. Metal seems thin on exterior. Windows make a clanging noise when closing them. Base of door sits on an outer ledge that just traps dirt.

  Be Prepared for a Rough Ride - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Rough Rider! - February 10 - 7:16 pm

  Bought this car used and was very impressed with the overall style of the the car from first sight. The car runs excellent, sound system meets standards as well. Not very impressed with where the seat warmer buttons are since the passenger seat automatically turns on when someone gets in and the loudness of the car is overwhelming. Takes ALL bumps big or small very hard. There seems to be no give in the suspension or shocks when riding over any thing that disrupts the smoothness in the asphalt. Does not handle water very well either. Likes to hydroplane even in the smallest amount of water. Not recommended for any type of off roading! Also very poor fuel mileage

  transmission problems - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By 9102 - December 8 - 3:55 pm

  Car was great for the first 3 years then at 78,000 miles and all at once the front and rear differential went out, rear main oil seal was leaking, exhaust manifold leaking and an a/c line was leaking. $ 4800.00 later it seems to be all fixed. I really hope there are no more issues with this vehicle. I have never been a big fan of Ford products to begin with. Better off staying with the foreign brand vehicles, they seem to know how to make them last.

  My Mercury - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Mike - December 3 - 10:36 pm

  Not a bad SUV except for the lack of outside temp and reading lights for passengers. This unit is the first Ford product I have ever owned and I am not sure it is not the last. I traded in a 2005 Equinox for it and am not sure it was a good trade. The equinox outside temp. and reading lights for the passengers also more room and easier to get in and out of. The flat floor pan made getting in and out easy. Did not like the Contential tires that came on it either. They were noisy and road hard.

  Not the Best, but Good - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By NZ - July 4 - 6:46 pm

  Our Mercury Mariner is a good SUV. Weve had no problems with it in our 3 months of having it. Its fun to drive and is comfortable for its price tag. It has okay fuel economy (theres other small SUVs with better fuel economy). We get about 20 miles per gallon overall. I am very happy with the interior room it has. Ive been in a Jeep Liberty and I love the fact that I can stretch out more in the Mariner. The leather seats are firm, but can be irritating at times. The Mariner is a nice affordable small SUV. If your in the market for a small SUV, look at this one!

  Great Price Near Luxury - Power ?s - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By vanz73 - March 2 - 8:30 pm

  A good choice for someone who wants a nice vehicle at a very reasonable price-a good small SUV for the city driver. I would not recommend if you are a driver who likes a little power in reserve for maneuvering - this vehicle picks bad times to disappoint on the power curve (i.e. changing lanes or making left turns between traffic). I figure I’ll learn the how to get the most from the CVT transmission, but performance is lacking for a people who know how to drive. Still a good family vehicle, sturdy, and overall nice to drive (exception noted). We’ll keep it because overall for the price we got a lot of vehicle compared to Toyota Highlander, RAV4, Nissan Murano, etc.

  mariner value - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Ron W - December 26 - 3:30 pm

  We love this vehicle. My wife actually picked it out. Ive used it to haul cargo with back seats folded down and was amazed at the room inside. Although it is still quite new so gas mileage probably isnt correct yet, it seems to do very very well on a gallon of gas.

  Love My Mariner - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Manitoba424 - October 23 - 12:00 pm

  This is one of the best cars I have owned. I love the luxurious feel of the interior. It feels like Im in an upscale SUV and its a Mercury! I have had an Escape and the Mariner is so much nicer. I cant say enough good things about this car. The V6 has loads of power. My only drawback is the gas mileage - but its an SUV so what do you expect?!
