Beautiful SUV , great gas mileage, child friendly

This vehicle is a smaller SUV but very spacious, has great gas mileage, and is AMAZING for children. It drives just like a sedan and I absolutely love it. It feels luxurious but has a very affordable price to it.

Great first drivers vehicle

Got this SUV used for our new teenager driver. It has been a very dependable vehicle. Wish they came with more safety features. Sits low so you can really feel the bumps in the road. Fits in all parking lots and spots. . Plenty of room for people and their gear.

Great small SUV for the price!

This Vehicle is great fully loaded, look for the Mercury Mariner Premier (VOGA ED.) when purchasing. This is a special model and not listed under the KBB or NADA so you won't pay more. However, you will get lots more with this edition. The White embroidered heated leather seats are amazing, the chromed out wheels and unique color scheme are well worth the hunt. Furthermore, the tow package, AWD/4x4 and surprisingly strong V6 will allow you to tow at ease through most terrains. We really love this vehicle and are often asked if it's new since the style is still up-to-date!

A Good Small SUV, reliable, and stylish.

I just bought this car in November 2016 with 86000 miles and I can honestly say this is the best car i have owned. It's comfortable and stylish, but also decent enough acceleration. Only complaint i have is that one of the window motors has already broke, which was 75 dollars to replace. I would absolutely recommend this car to anyone. With the seats folded down there is plenty of room for whatever you need. It is big enough to sleep in if needed. Great car so far!!!!

Wonderful Car! Get One!

Premier V6 4x4. Got this vehicle used in May 2013 with 40,000 miles on it. It now has 104,000 and no problems with it at all! The V6 engine offers great power in the city and good enough on the highway, and the 4WD system works well. Has a great list of features and all of the optional features have stood the test of time. The exterior paint quality is iffy, and the brakes are a little mushy. The seats are also showing their ages. Other than these minor flaws, the power train and electrical system are extremely reliable. I recommend this car to my friends who are looking for one. Great mix of everything! (Gets 21 mpg with V6)

Love Mary (Our Mariner)

Live in the country on dirt (not gravel) roads. Our AWD Mariner with the V6 has excellent handling and traction in all weather. Gets acceptable gas mileage. Interior quiet and roomy. The sunroof has low wind noise and doesn't leak. The seats are comfortable and the ride is smooth. Love the way the back seats fold down to make a big cargo bay. Would prefer it had Sync, that the gas tank would be expanded to a 500 mile cruising range, and that there was less chrome trim on the dash which can reflect sunlight into your eyes. All in all, very satisfied with this vehicle.
