Mercury mariner, such a good vehicle.

Very good on gas, comfortable, rides nice! Handles well on long trips and a bonus is the back seats fold down for carrying larger items. Easy child safety seat installation with clips in seat and on roof to ensure safety. I am very happy that I found this car for sale!

Best car I have ever owned.

I love this car. It is reliable. I haven't had any issues outside of the normal wear and tear. I drove this car about 300 miles one trip and it was comfortable and I had enough room to breath. Miles to the gallon are amazing as well. I only fill up once or twice a week and I drive a good distance for work.

Highly recommendable vehicle.

I love my truck. It drives well, and when I avoided a head on collision, my truck protected me. It is reliable and comfortable, even sitting for a long drive. The only issues it has had are the normal maintenance issues you find with any vehicle. Highly recommend.

Mariner is a good vehicle for grandma.

At ten years old my vehicle is showing signs of age. I have replaced the door glass. I need to replace the rear door struts and mechanism. Other than that no big problems. I don't drive as much since I retired so that may be helping. It still get good mileage and is tall enough in traffic to make me feel safe.

Heated seats, and variable floorboard lights.

When I purchased the vehicle, it was a great starter for our small family. The only problem that came across was a call back for the power steering. The performance of the vehicle is great. I have no complaints. It has been and very reliable vehicle with minor but common issues such as new tires, and oil changes.

Dependable, sturdy family car.

My 2010 mercury mariner has excellent performance, with very little problems within the 2 years owning it. Like any vehicle, it has the 2-3 times a year oil change. Just recently we have gotten the brakes worked on. It has even supported a 7 hour road trip.

My review on my car’s details.

I really love this car it is amazing in many ways it might be a older version but it this car never failed me yet. It does not take a lot of money to fill the car up and the car features are wonderful. The thing I like most about the car is the way it drives on the street real smooth.

Cassie R

Auto repairs needed but love.

I absolutely love the look and features this car has. It fits all my needs and is reliable enough that I never worry about it breaking down. It is had its share of auto repair visits, but only one was a spendy fix. Otherwise, it drives smooth, has great Bluetooth features, is big enough to protect me on the road, and look classy. Overall, love my purchase and hope to keep this car running for as long as possible.

Great car I would suggest it to families.

It doesn't have as much get up and go as I d like. It's comfortable and has set warmers and a moon roof which I love. I also really like colors and the leather seats. I like the music options and keyless entry. I have a remote starter in which is great in winter.

The mercury mariner is a good car.

It is a great car, got it used for cheap. I love the leather seats and the built in touch screen. I wish it was a little better on gas but other than that it's been a great car so far, haven't had any major problems. It even has a backup camera. It has a very good sound system as well.

2010 mercury mariner - okay for the money, but not my favorite vehicle by far.

The transmission does not shift smoothly. The gas mileage is okay at 24.5 mpg. It has a sunroof and leather. The hatch switch is inoperable and the only access to the back is through the glass that opens on the hatch. There has been relatively low maintenance throughout the life of the vehicle.

Nicki E

The fact that you can change the lights inside the car to different colors.

Window track has failed on all 4 windows. The tire pressure system fault is broken. When going into the next gear it shifts hard. The back rear door does not open all the time even when doors are unlocked. Air conditioner is broken even though it's been fixed numerous times.

Mariner is old but still functions well.

I have had my car for over 5 years now and it was used before that, so it is not in great shape anymore. That being said, it has held up really well over time and has been a very reliable car. The features are fairly outdated compared to the new functions that many cars have, but it has Bluetooth capabilities.

Fred P

My experience with the mercury mariner 2010.

The mariner has heated seats that are great and an upright seating that is comfortable to drive. I have had a lot of rust around door jambs and fender wells and lift gate. Had problems with battery and joints overall good SUV will probably last a 150,000 miles or so.

Nate W

The stock speakers are actually really nice!

The car runs pretty smooth but the engine light comes on every once in awhile and then goes away the next day. Other than that I haven’t had many issues with the car. Occasionally it gets a weird noise when driving, but the car is 10 years old now so that is to be expected. The lights on the dashboard do not always work which is a bummer, but not a deal breaker.

Love my mercury mariner so much! Never want it to break down.

I absolutely love my 2010 mercury mariner. It is extremely reliable and rarely had any issues. Super comfortable and practical for trips. Perfect car for me. Plenty of room in trunk for storage and backseat is big enough for my dogs. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to get one!!

2010 mercury mariner, great car for an active lifestyle.

Drives nicely, handles smoothly, the engine compartment is large and spacious which makes maintenance easier. When well cared for this car is very reliable and safe. Decent gas mileage, the capless gas tank is a great feature. Lots of storage space in the center console and trunk. Back seats fold down to make more space. Roof rack is great for kayaks, canoes, furniture, etc. Minimal blind spots/great visibility, capable of making tight turns and climbing steep inclines, does well on unpaved road as well.
