2006 Mercury Mariner Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2007 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD |
The seats have plush cushioning, lumbar control and position control. The seats are leather/vinyl (I think leather, but not sure) with center punched suede allowing some air circulation. All good for greater comfort on long trips see full Mercury Mariner review |

Rear seat room is limited, seats firm, but little side support see full Mercury Mariner review |

For long drives even with leather it can get uncomfortable. A little more support and padding would be good in the seat. see full Mercury Mariner review |

2006 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.4L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
The rear console is a bad idea. There's no way for the kids to get to the back seat while driving. see full Lincoln Navigator review |

The driver's seat is exceedingly comfortable. Its heating and cooling features work quickly and effectively. The adjustable lumbar support is in the right place to be effective without being intrusive, and the large cushion effectively supports the my legs. As an athlete who is almost always sore or injured, I very much appreciate that the seat is high enough off the floor that my lower legs are reasonably vertical. see full Lincoln Navigator review |
