2009 Mercury Mariner Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I enjoyed my Mariner! One of the best vehicles I have ever owned. I had a 2005 and if I had a good mechanic I would still be driving my Baby. I would love to own another one

The Mariner we bought is a base model. It has all the features we need. I like this older body style better than the newer one. It’s a little more “truck like” The 3.0 Duratec motor makes plenty of power and coupled with the 6 speed transmission has returned about 21mpg around town. The only complaint I have is there is an annoying rattle in the cargo area that we haven’t been able to isolate. Other than that it has been a solid vehicle. Of course we have only had it for a week. Time will tell if it is a good value. If I think about it I will revisit this review next year and post an update

with the new engine and transmission i am getting on the freeway 35-37 miles per gallon at the 65 miles per hour area. in town i am getting 24-28 miles per gallon. this is outstanding for a very fast v6. with the addition of "sync" it is a pleasure to send and receive phone calls and text messages all by voice commands and the access to an ipod, mp3 player and a usb device i can use voice commands to play whatever i want to listen to... this is a great value for the dollar and the interior and exterior are first class in looks and safety.
