      <description><![CDATA[PROS: great looking, good power, everything I need and want in an SUV. LUV IT! <br/><br/> CONS: steering a bit loose <br/><br/> REVIEW: I lucked up and found a 09 Mariner &quot;Ford Factory&quot; per-owned Mariner with all the goodies on it. (I traded a Mustang GT convertible)  I mean everything that is offered.  I LUV the sound system, fuel MPG and the convience of the steering controls,  the SYNC system is THE BOMB! I also LUV  ... <br/></br><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/2009_mercury_mariner-review_user/?reviewId=4&trimId=24222">Read full review </a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[PROS: Great styling, interior and exterior.  Decent fuel economy, new 6 speed tranny is fantastic <br/><br/> CONS: Steering is almost too easy, a little wobbly at high speeds and windy conditions <br/><br/> REVIEW: For the price, the Mercury Mariner and Ford Escape are no brainers in my opinion.

The Mariner offers a few extra features not found on it&#39;s Ford counterpart.  First, you&#39;ll definitely notice the bigger/chunkier exterior features (which I happen to like, because it reminds me more of an  ... <br/></br><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/2009_mercury_mariner-review_user/?reviewId=3&trimId=24222">Read full review </a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[PROS: High Quality for the Price <br/><br/> CONS: Sunglass compartment should be slightly wider <br/><br/> REVIEW: I custom ordered this Mariner with exactly the options i wanted. It took 9 weeks, but it was worth it.

Interior:
The interior is very nice. Everything is within easy reach for the driver. Road and wind noise is very low. They are less than a 2008 Accord I&#39;ve been using for the last 3  ... <br/></br><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/2009_mercury_mariner-review_user/?reviewId=2&trimId=24222">Read full review </a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[PROS: Perfect size <br/><br/> CONS: Transmission issues, Poor handling, Other quality concerns <br/><br/> REVIEW: The first and second transmissions couldn?t seem to make it more than 3,000 miles before acting quirky, eventually resulting in something unpredictable and unsafe for driving.  

We bought the car new 8 months ago, and it has been in NO accidents, and has had all maintenance and service work  ... <br/></br><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/2009_mercury_mariner-review_user/?reviewId=1&trimId=24221">Read full review </a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[PROS: Gas mileage is 27mpg highway, smooth ride, great sync system, <br/><br/> CONS: Car feels like it might tip over when driving in the wind, had transmission problems at 6,000 miles, <br/><br/> REVIEW: Vehicle drives well, has a smooth ride but at approx. 6,000 miles, the transimssion jumped 2 gears on the highway causing the engine to red line and I had to pull off the road. The dealer told me that this is a known and common problem with these transmissions.

      <description><![CDATA[PROS: I love this SUV, it handles great, its the prettiest small SUV on the road and its fun to drive. <br/><br/> CONS: Wish it got better fuel economy. <br/><br/> REVIEW: I love this SUV, as usual Ford has a winner in the SUV category.  The design is beautiful, I love the grill.  It handles very well and has pretty good pick up,  at least for my taste.  I&#39;ve had no problems with the engine, or anything else.  Unlike my previous two vehicles I fell for the hype  ... <br/></br><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/2009_mercury_mariner-review_user/?reviewId=1&trimId=24222">Read full review </a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[PROS: Great appearance, smooth ride and pretty good fuel economy for a V6 4X4 <br/><br/> CONS: Transmission died after one week of purchase. <br/><br/> REVIEW: Great SUV! Although it was not my first choice, the price was unbeatable during season lease specials. I purchased the 2009 Mariner last Monday and TONIGHT the transmission completely died while I was driving 45 miles an hour on a two-way road. Talk about &quot;Built Tough.&quot; After this  ... <br/></br><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/2009_mercury_mariner-review_user/?reviewId=2&trimId=24225">Read full review </a>]]></description>
