2007 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
