2001 mercury grand marquis ls

2001 Mercury Grand Marquis LS Premium 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

Great car to do the open road in. Gas mileage is better than you would expect from a car this large.The only problem is the rear shocks/spring set-up. If you do not want the rear of the car to sit low in rear loaded, you need to put overload shocks on it. With these on you still have a great ride, with no sag. Climate control is a must have option, now that I experienced it. Also do the cloth interior, no cold or sticky leather. If I had to buy another car right now, it would be another Mercury Grand Marquis LS.

Favorite Features

Climate control, cruise,power windows, power locks, dual power seats, auto dimming inside rear view mirror, compass,outside temp., cloth seats.

Suggested Improvements

Dual exhaust standard, c.d. player standard.

Style & Comfort

2001 Mercury Grand Marquis GS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

Great long trip comfort ride with respectable gas mileage, especially for full sized vehicle. Second such vehicle I have purchased, as '96 was totalled by red light-running fool. Was struck at 50 mph and both I and passenger came out of it OK. Believe me when I say I feel pretty darn safe in this car! Great style, comfort, safety and decent economy in full sized ride.

Favorite Features

Currently own GS model, which is OK, but liked the digital dash & climate control in the '96 LS model better. Power control seats are great. Leg & trunk room are unbelieveable. This car rides & handles like a dream. The small V-8 has plenty of power w/ gas mileage you wouldn't expect (mid 20's).

Suggested Improvements

None that I can think of.

My Opinion

Review

I have been well pleased with My Gran Marquis. It is my second one and I plan on getting another. It is especially good for long trips. It provides an extreemly smooth and comfortable ride, with good acceleration, and responsive handling. I get about 20-22 MPG on the highway at speeds crowding (sometimes exceeding) the limits. I appreciate the large trunk space. I have driven it from St Louis, MO. to Niagra Falls, Orlando, through the Rockies and to numerous shorter (300-400 Miles) with no breakdowns or difficulties. I am proud of my "Merc".

Favorite Features

Keyless entry, Compass, Automatic door locks, easy to read, well lit instrument panel.

Suggested Improvements

Need more flexibility in dual sun visor, (better in '96 model). Key entry on passenger side as well as driver side.

A great car, power when needed in all situations and weather conditions.This marquis as like my work vehicle in(law enforcement) drives 100% identically. The very same car as a crown vic but the next size up in class. Love it !

Favorite Features

Headroom and seat room large, dislike having the shoulder of the person to my right in my ribs or eye, no worry here. ~P o w e r ~ looks ~ p o w e r ~ looks.

A better weather trim around drivers and front passengers door,also in trunk, as i've had water damage due to rain in each year,dealers not been able to fully fix problems as of yet....

Review

Purchased this vehicle from my boss and was very surprised with the performance of an eight cylinder engine compared to the Buick Park Avenues that I have owned in the past. This car is definitely a sleeper and is the poor man's Lincoln.

Big Highway Cruiser

Written by: roknrob on 11/03/2004

Vehicle

2001 Mercury Grand Marquis LS Premium 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

This is standard suspension LS (not the 'performance' version), well equipped w/leather, 8-way power seats both sides, factory CD, power pedals etc. I use this as a highway commuter, 66 miles/day. GOOD: 4 disc brakes, fuel economy (26 hwy), reliability, passenger and luggage space, safety, value for low buck. NOT SO GOOD: Numb handling, sensitive to cross winds. So-so ergonomics...long reach to radio, wide but unsupportive seats, no tachometer, slooooow power windows, no usable cupholders or driver storage (dumb split armrests...coulda been storage). Aging old-man styling, but still a respectable old-fashioned Detroit cruiser.

Favorite Features

Huge trunk, interior space to spread out.

Suggested Improvements

More driver-accessible storage, cupholders, armrest storage to replace dumb split armrest. Better quality leather and sunroof
