2008 Mercury Mariner Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
