| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 250-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Mercury Mariner
| 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 |
| 2006 Mercury Mariner Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT AWD |
Rear seat room is limited, seats firm, but little side support see full Mercury Mariner review |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
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 |
