2008 Mercury Mariner I4 review from North America
"Beautiful small SUV!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Great SUV and great on gas.
My son owns a 2000 Mercury Cougar, and has had so many problems with that vehicle, but he did an internship at a local Lincoln/Mercury dealer; and knew that my 2006 Honda CR-V lease was almost up and I was running out of miles. So he told me to try out a Mercury Mariner, because the dealer would let him have some commission.
So I did I try the V6 version, and it had the deluxe stuff leather navigation, and I don't need that and stay cheap. So I tried this baby blue 4 cylinder Mariner and fell in love; it's stylish on the inside and out. I needed something great on gas and cheap (lease).
It comes with a lot of features at a little price. I got the moon and tune package, and I love the sunroof; it's the first car I've had that's had that.
But the MPG is GREAT! I live in Ohio and went to Atlantic City, New Jersey for vacation; it got between 29-31 MPG.
Overall I love it.
