2008 Mercury Mariner Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners appreciate the 2008 Mercury Mariner for its reliability, stylish design, and fun driving experience, especially in winter conditions thanks to its all-wheel drive. Many drivers also enjoy its decent fuel economy and sufficient cargo space. However, some tend to mention issues like the transmission recall early in ownership and variability in gas mileage."
This is mainly my wife's vehicle, so I don't drive it much. It is a very nice vehicle (it is a Premiere) and has almost all of the options available. It dropped the transmission at 2500 miles due to a recall, but it was under warranty and was replaced at no charge. It has been a great vehicle in the snow and continues to perform very well. Gas mileage has been decent, as well. Best observed was 27, worst has been about 12. Overall fuel economy has been 18.4.
December 4, 2010Perfect smaller SUV, for my daughters second year of driving. Nicely equipped Premiere Edition. Fun to drive, great pick up for a smaller V-6 engine & the all wheel drive is an added plus.
March 27, 2020Very nice Car It a Mercury yes and they made a very good and reliable car. It is very stylish it cost almost nothing in maintenance. It is a very very fun car to drive. I think that anyone who could get a good deal on this car would be happy

February 16, 2011Like the all wheel drive. I have never slipped in winter at all! Very versatile. Roof rack worked out well for kayaking. Tow package pulled my 5 x 10 trailer. Leather was a blessing. Served me well in all my needs.
November 6, 2014I'm someone who has owned several sports cars so this SUV was a big shift for me. I feel like with the power of the V-6 and the additional cargo space available, it's been a happy medium between other 4 cylinder competitors and the larger "Trucks" that make up the bigger SUV classes.
December 28, 2014Loved it. I put it on a car carrier and the carrier was in an accident. I want another Mariner but doubt I will ever be able to buy another one.
