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

2007 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
