2010 Mercury Mariner Summary

The 2010 Mercury Mariner offers front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, competitive four- or six-cylinder engines and the Hybrid package, which works essentially as the conventional models do. Fuel mileage for all models, and towing capacity, rank with the best in class. For all-purpose, reasonably efficient daily transport on the road, the Mariner rates among the best smaller SUVs. Shoppers seeking genuine off-road potential should look elsewhere.

J.P. Vettraino filed this report to NewCarTestDrive.com after his test drive of various Mariner models in the Detroit area.
