The Mariner Premier model we purchased after one test drive is worth the additional cost over the Luxury, as more std. features are included. Its a classy SUV compared to the Escape or Tribute. With 1000 miles on it, we have averaged 21 mpg. Opt for the leather upgrade in seating as opposed to the suede (fake) insert that comes standard. The sound system and moon roof are alos great options.
Also considered:
2005 Mazda Tribute
