  2006 Mercury Mariner - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Peggy - August 29 - 9:43 am

  This was the best deal on a vehicle all the way around. I commute 3-4 hours per day and didnt feel safe on the freeways in my 4-cylinder. This car was top on the safety list for its class and I can see why. Its sturdy, not too big, has a luxury interior, and good options. Handles well in traffic. I looked at the Ford Escape which uses the same body, but the interior was very cheap, using plastic instead of chrome for the buttons and console areas. The fact that I got it loaded for 0% interest and $1,000 rebate made my purchase even sweeter.

  Great Car - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By L Fitt - August 12 - 12:40 am

  Have owned the vehicle for almost 6 months with not a single instance of a problem. It is a uiet and the ride is great for a smaller SUV. Owned a Mercury Grand Marquis before and we enjoy this car a much as the other one. Wish the fuel mileage was better on our 4-cylinder engine, but it is pretty quiet and responsive.

  Love It - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Crnpeach - June 1 - 9:56 am

  After 10 yrs with a mini-van I did not want to move down to a car or up to a large SUV. Then I saw the Mercury Mariner. I love the looks inside and out, the solid color and chrome add a nice touch, no black molding to worry about. Handles great and picks up speed nicely. The Mariner was in the right price range for me. So far so good.

  A Dream come true - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Branka - May 11 - 9:00 pm

  This car is like a dream come true.. I love it... after couple of mini-vans and such a disappointment in Mazda Tribute this is the car I will lease again and again. Easy to drive, very strong engine, comfortable seats... Love the warming seats option... works miracle on my back pain.. has two power outlets... no more fight who will charge the phone first.. or you can use one for phone and other for computer. Huge cargo area...

  New to SUVs - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Debi - March 19 - 6:13 am

  I have owned a Lexus SC400 for the past eight years. After buying a home on a hill and realizing I could not haul anything for the house in my car and when it snowed my car was useless - I decided it was time to go the SUV route. Reluctant as I was, I am very happy with my choice of the Mercury Mariner. So far, I am enjoying the look and feel of the Mariner, the attention to detail in the exterior and interior. The SUV feels very solid and has a smooth ride. I am looking forward to the handling of the Mariner in the Seattle rain and snow.

  What A Great Small SUV - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Greg in Texas - March 9 - 12:56 am

  The Mariner has been a wonderful surpise the first year of ownership. The ride is smooth and being over 64" I can sit in comfort and not feel all cramped in. The Mach stereo system is fantastic and all the controls are at my finger tip. the vehicle has been wonderful on trips to Kansas City to watch Chiefs football games. The gas milage is averaging 23-24 mpg.

  Worst vehicle Ive ever owned - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Jason - February 20 - 8:56 am

  Seriously the worst vehicle I have ever had. 40,000 miles the transmission blew and needed a completely new one with no help from Ford due to the warranty ending at 36K. Now the front end is starting to go and the brakes are shot. I cant wait to get rid of this car.

  2006 Mercury Mariner Premier - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By len.adler - December 31 - 8:50 pm

  Since delivery this car has been fun to drive, and without mechanical defect. Its higher position enables seeing over sedans in a traffic line. It is nimble and comfortable. The mpg average of 20-25 on the highway is disappointing in todays gasoline prices. Five passengers can travel comfortably, and the back section is great for our black lab, even on long trips.

  What did I do???? - 2006 Mercury Mariner
  By Stacy - December 24 - 2:13 pm

  I bought this vehicle 3 weeks ago, and am thinking I may have made a big mistake. I traded in my 2004 Toyota corolla with 26,000 miles for this vehicle 2 years newer with 53,000 miles. Typical woman I was cuz I took one look at it and thought it was SO CUTE!!!! Plus, I always wanted a little SUV. A week and a half after I got it, I needed a new Alternator. Now, my husband thinks I have a small oil leak. I guess time will tell. I do know that someone must have gotten a great little toyota. Never had any problems with that car!! Oh well, ladies, dont be fooled by the cuteness!!
