2005 Mercury Mariner

Based on the Ford Escape, the 2005 Mercury Mariner finds its popularity thanks to the overwhelming popularity of the new breed of smaller sport utility vehicles. These SUV's are very compact which makes them easy to control and park, they are the ideal vehicles for city driving thanks to their small size.

The 2005 Mercury Mariner is lighter and much more fuel efficient, not to mention far less expensive than its larger SUV counterparts. It also comes equipped with plenty of passenger and cargo space with the added benefit of having seats that fold down to produce even more room for cargo. The Mariner is praised for its smooth handling, as well as the availability of a V6 engine.

This car comes with standard two wheel drive as well as a four cylinder engine, but it is also easy – and affordable – to upgrade it to all wheel drive. As far as the design goes, the 2005 Mariner is sleek and clean and considered quite avant garde.
