It would have been easy to list two dozen alternatives to the 2009 Mercury Mariner if one looked outside the narrow interpretation of what constitutes a compact SUV.
But one of the closest competitors to the Mariner is the all-new Dodge Journey.
In terms of styling, the Journey has strong looks that turn heads and plenty of features inside, such as multiple cubbies and rich infotainment options.
However, the Journey's interior design isn't pleasing to the eye, and the materials feel subpar for the category―not just in comparison to the Mariner.
In terms of driving dynamics, the Honda CR-V is one of our all-time favorites, but some people have a hard time getting past the SUV's styling and the lack of optional V-6 power.
More people admire the styling of the all-new Saturn Vue.
Like the Mariner, the Vue offers a hybrid option (a second hybrid choice is on the way for the Vue).
The Hyundai Tucson drives more like the pre-2009 Mariners, but does so with a low price and an especially long warranty.
