Scarcity of Mercury Mariner Hybrids

Written by: transpower on Jun 11, 2008 08:18 AM

I understand that the scarcity is due to lack of hybrid battery supplies. I got my 2008 MMH in March of 2007, when they first came out, so I lucked out. Read More...

I checked google as well. Mr. Batenburg is no doubt a fine mechanic. However, his sites offer much for sale and no free advice to a non-mechanic as far as I could tell. As a regular car buyer from Minnesota, I should not have to try to track down a mechanic in Mass. to solve my problem of awful gas mileage with the 2007 Mercury Mariner Hybrid. Ford/Mercury or the dealer ... Read More...

Mercury Mariner Hybrid Bad Mileage

Written by: smrekar on Feb 12, 2007 05:39 PM

I am still getting awful mileage with the 2007 Mariner Hybrid - usually less than 20 mpg. This weekend got 22-23 on the highway, but that is peak. Heard from Ford/Mercury. They claim no responsibility and will do nothing for me. Very disappointing. Will be going to the media and taking legal action. Anyone have any experience with this? If not, I will let you know ...

"I took my first test-drive in a 2007 Mariner Hybrid yesterday. It was very nice. I particularly liked backing up under electric power only. The 2008 model will correct two major deficiencies in the previous models: lack of stability control and lack of a DVD navigation system. " I don't think that the 2008 hybrid model, gets the stability control. Read More...

Gas Mileage on the 2007 Mercury Mariner Hybrid

Written by: smrekar on Jan 14, 2007 07:17 AM

I have a little over 5000 miles on my 2007 Merc Mariner Hybrid and the gas mileage is awful. I have been tracking closely for the last 8 gas fills and the average is running in the low 20s. I know the EPA rating is not perfect but this seems way off and not right. The dealer and Merc just seem to shrug their shoulders. Is there anything that can be done about this? Read More...

According to the 2007 Mariner Hybrid catalog, the center console has real Sapele woodgrain. I took another test drive today in the 2007 Mariner Hybrid and looked at it. It looks like plastic to me, but I'm really not sure (maybe it's real wood preserved in plastic). On the whole, the interior of the Mariner is far better looking than that of any other compact SUV ... Read More...

Sorry transpower, I didn't notice that this thread refers to the 2008 Mariner. I just bought a 2007 Mariner Hybrid, and it does have the Sapele woodgrain in it. I have read conflicting reports about whether this is real laminated wood or simply plastic painted to look like wood, and I am wondering which it is. Thanks in advance for any info. Read More...

From the drivezen.com Web site, I gather that there is no woodgrain at all in the Hybrid model. It's all aluminum, satin, chrome, as far as I can tell. I took my first test-drive in a 2007 Mariner Hybrid yesterday. It was very nice. I particularly liked backing up under electric power only.
