Replying to: scoutyjones (Jun 07, 2007 12:47 pm) I now have over 6000 miles on my 2008 AWD Mariner. I get between 26 and 32 mpg, depending on the circumstances. To comment on the Full Review, I replaced the stock tires with Pirelli Scorpion ATRs for much better performance--grip, braking, handling, etc. The brakes feel just fine to me, not mushy.
#8 of 8 mariner hybrid temp gauge? by weibel Dec 03, 2007 (8:01 pm)
I've had my 2008 Mariner Hybrid awd for two weeksnow and just realized a lack of engine temp gauge (ICE). so far it is the first negative thing i can say about the vehicle. I know it has an idiot light which is going to warn me if it overheats but i like to watch the trend of temperature increase in the cooling sustem. Anybody else bothered by this deficiency?
