Used 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis Consumer Reviews
"The Barge" we love.
Great car!!! Comfort, ride, handling, dependability, power, tight turn radius for big sedan. MPG average around 21 city/hwy. Large trunk (even better if using a temporal spare, full size spare eats up a lot of room). Only real issue of concern was having to replace both rear axles before 30K miles. Mercury allowed poorly heat treated axles to be installed during '93, and they won't pay to replace them. A minor issue is the difficulty in changing the oil filter (tight clearance to get out once unscrewed)

The Mighty Mercs
If you are fortunate enough to find one of these grand old dames that has been well-cared for, HOLD ON TO IT. The plush ride, leather seats, roomy cabin and cavernous trunk makes traveling near and far a pleasure. Ours just saved my husband's life when it was rear-ended by a speeding driver. He escaped with a concussion. The other car was smashed completely. Save for my '65 T-Bird convertible (originally my father's), I have never owned a better, more reliable or beautiful car!

Need another one
Bought this car for the wife. We pack it full and often with kids and luggage for long road trips. Wonderful highway cruiser, power aplenty and decent MPG for a large car (~24 highway). Hoping to buy a newer one or possibly a Town Car (my little girl likes the A/C vents in the back seat).
Great car!
This is my first car and I'm glad that I chose this to be my first car. The dealership I bought it from marked the price up higher than it should be. But the car itself is a great car!! Very roomy, comfortable for long or short drives. Great trunk space, a/c and heater works great, rides smooth. And when I go over speed bumps or ditches, I hardly notice them. Had a bit of transmission problem with it, but now that I got that fixed, it runs like a CHAMP!
Old time American qualities
I purchased this car after evalutating the '96 LeSabre and the '96 Chrysler Concorde. I was hoping to find a '96 Grand Marquis, but this '94 had all of the qualities I was looking for. I really wanted room, lots of room. The Grand Marquis is the roomiest car I looked at. My wife and I use this car to vacation in South Carolina, which we drive from the great lakes region. Round trip mileage is about 2000 miles including our site seeing. We wouldn't want any other car for this. I continue to maintain the car at the dealership where I bought it. It currently has 74000 miles and everything functions perfectly.
