What pro's and con's do each of these have? Right now, the Merucry Mariner looks more appealing to my family and I, but we want to compair and contrast it to the Toyota Rav4. Which is better and tell why.

The RAV4 is a better value in my opinion... Mercury being a ford affiliated brand will not have great resale value and reliablity... Plus, do you want your car warranty to be from a company which lost over $12billion last year (I think that is about $2k a minute and $400 a second they lost)...
I sell toyotas and own toyotas...
Which model, engine,4x4 or 2wd RAV4 are you thinking of? I can give you better pro's to buy a toyota then and it will help you in the long run by making a educated decision.

I would definitely go for the Toyota. I am a big believer in foreign vehicles being more reliable than American-made ones. No offense to America, I'm American, but I owned a Toyota and let me just say that, it was almost 100% maintenance free! Besides that, the only pro on the Mariner's side in my opinion, is that it might look better than the Rav4. Do more research online on these two vehicles. Check out each of their features, specs. and reviews. I hope this was helpful.

Personally my hands down choice would be the rav 4, why? the mercury mariner looks really appealing exterior and interior wise but think about this the ford escape is the twin brother of the mercury mariner and they are almost built on the same platform,the problem here is that the ford escape has a tendency to rollover because of a tip up in the rollover resistance test,so most likely the mariner is not far off and i checked it,it didnt perform well either.

If you want trouble free ownership for the next 15 years, definitely the Toyota, now available with 4 or 6 cylinder and seating up to 7, got it all.
