2009 Mercury Grand Marquis LS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

When I bought the Grand Marquis I knew what I was getting: an old fashioned, large, comfortable cruiser. I like the simplicity and traditional design. Edmunds' review is too harsh. Not everyone wants a $50k BMW or Mercedes. Try it out for yourself and see what I mean.

Favorite Features

Comfortable seats. Old school design. Safety. Extreme low price.

Suggested Improvements

Stability Control. More modern stereo. Wish it were a foot shorter.

A Rock-Solid Ride

Review

Bought my first Grand Marquis in 1992. Ran it for close to 350,000 trouble- free miles. My 2009 model seems to be no different than the 1992 model. Rides like a dream, great power from the V-8 engine, and more room than you could ask for. The segue from a 17 year old model to a new one could have been accomplished while blindfolded. Fit and finish is outstanding. I hope they never stop making the Grand Marquis.

Favorite Features

Roominess & quality of workmanship.

Suggested Improvements

Whitewall side tires should be standard for a luxury vehicle of this caliber.

Review

I always wanted to drive large 1970 styling cars like the 1975 Impala and cars of that era. I was surprised to find this car still in production! The Mercury Grand Marquis is for those who love old fashioned large V8 sedans and i bet this car will quench your thirst.

Favorite Features

Comfort, Loads of boot space probably worlds largest (still in production). lovely V8 purr when you step on the gas yet so quiet cabin. Great on highways!

Suggested Improvements

rear cup holders a MUST! Rear AC flow vent controls.

Grand Marquis Still A Good Car

Review

I have owned a Grand Marquis for 23 years and just purchased my 7th one, a 2009. The care still rides and handles very well and looks good. I was disappointed to find they have removed the compass, the automatic parking brake release and the Home Link.

Favorite Features

The 17' wheels and air ride give improved handling and riding comfort.

Suggested Improvements

I know Ford is phasing out the Grand Marquis as we know it, but they need to give back the compass, automatic parking brake release and the Home Link. One gets the feeling they are stripping it down.

Review

First, I'm a young guy. In past, always bought Toyota, Honda and Volvo. Fate made me stop at by Mercury dealer when I was looking for replacement for car that broke down at 100k miles. Salesman asked what I was looking for and I pointed to the Marquis as a joke. He gave me keys and I said what the heck and drove it. I then bought it. I'm well over 6 feet tall and this is first car that I can stretch out my legs. Ride is ridiculously comfortable and I float down the highway. Yes, steering is squishy but this is not a sports car. Talked to a mechanic who's been replacing engines over 20 years and he never worked on a Marquis. So comfortable, reliable, cheap. You must drive this car.

Favorite Features

Leg room, comfortable seats, float on air ride, huge trunk, wood accent interior, feel like I own the road

Suggested Improvements

OK, update the interior. It is dated but fine by me. Don't touch the exterior. It's cool.

Review

Everyone complements the ride and drive after they have had a chance to get inside. It has such a smooth and comfortable ride much different from the smaller cars but I don't sacrifice mileage for it.

Favorite Features

roomy interior

Suggested Improvements

more cup containers

poor gas and break pedals

Review

the 2009 mercury grand marquis, changes were made not to my liking. the gas pedal is TOO vertical, ( needs to be more on an angle) this is causing greal nerve pain in the entire leg. The break pedal is too high, can no longer move foot from the gas to the break easly. More pain in the shin portion of the leg. These obvious changes were not present from model years 1992 thru 2007. I had no problem with these models.

Favorite Features

the get up and go.

Suggested Improvements

correct the problem with the pedals.
