(If your concerned about the mileage of the car have a look at this article on the ford escape hybrid....same as the mariner internally)http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/f...new-york-stre/

"Other things to keep in mind about Hybrid electric vehicles are that they do not use components that are often the reason for breakdowns and early replacements, such as a starter motor and solenoid, an alternator, a clutch and several other parts. Also the regenerative breaking can reduce wear on the brake calipers and many Hybrid vehicles still have their original OEM brakes without ever needing replacement due to this, even after 6 or more years of operation and more than 100,000 miles. Also the 12V battery is not used to start the engine, so the life of this battery is longer due to the lower demands on its capacity. These and many other factors can contribute to lower maintenance costs and resulting faster break-even of a Hybrid car."

Thanks for this. I visited the site and read the particular article about Ford Escape Hybrid and this is something new to me. On the other hand, I just want to know if when it comes to durability, does it compete with others?

with "others" I assume your talking about other hybrids? or other suvs that are not Hybrid? They seem pretty durable to me. :)
