I LOVE my "new to me" 1994 Mercury GM LS. This is my second Mercury, my first was a 1957. Over the years I have owned over 40 new or used vehicles of every kind, from BMW to Saturn, from car to truck, and this is the best driving of them all. In my family when a car rides nice and smooth we say " it rides like a Greyhound bus" and WOW, does this baby. The only real problem I have had with this car is that the odometer and trip counters stopped working giving me no choice but too change the oil by date alone, wich I would rather not have to only rely. I do not know the exact milage on mine, but it is not over 51,000 and it runs like a new car. Only change, the cassete player had to go

I needed a reliable, safe, affordable and clean family car. The LS meets all of the criteria. My 4 year old son likes the car and his review was cool car dad. My 7 year old daughter and wife are caught up in the small car preference but I explained the values of the car vs. paying for a small car with a higher price. Many of the repairs that others mentioned as negatives were fixed before I purchased the car. I found the car at an estate sale and looked for such a car for about 3 months. We paid $1,000 for it and its the best money ever spent on a car. The previous owner, an older man, took great care of the car. I also like that I am driving a US brand car. A great value!

A Great Traditional American Car

I bought this car from an older fellow in Feb. 2010 for the sole purpose of replacing my Oldsmobile Aurora. This Grand Marquis is not as advanced or as modern as the car it replaced but the ride and comfort far surpass anything on the road today. I have driven many cars from Acura to Volvo and can personally say that Ford did a great job on keeping the traditional American sedan alive. It is a shame Ford is discontinuing the Panther platform of cars ( Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Town Car) as of 2011 because I am now sold on these excellent cars. The Performance is good for it's almost 3800 pound mass and the powertrain is smooth and responsive. I highly recommend you test drive one today!
Best Darn Car I Ever Owned

I've owned BMW's , Mercedes and Jags, but the Mercury Marquis is the best car for the money. I've driven this car thru thick and thin, including moving 5 times, a divorce, and this baby has been with me the whole way. She is as comfortable and rides just like new and she now has 185,000 miles. Car looks and rides like new. I salute the engineers and workers at Ford-Canada for producing a wonderful product for a working stiff like me.
"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)

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!
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).

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!

I bought this fantastic car two mounth ago and really felt in love with it! In Russia, even in Moscow there are few Mercurys, and especially Marquis. So you drive through Moscow crazy streets like a king! This car has exellent peformance, super comfort (very quiet at the road) and very powerful AC (yes, our summers are hot - 100 F*). My car's mileage is 89 460, but it has contract motor and new transmition - so like new one. It's very pity thst we have few good roads, and maximum speed limit is 74 mph =( So, i want to say thanks to ford, who made such extraordinary car!

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.
Great for driver on tight budget

I purchased this car when I entered graduate school as I needed to drive as cheaply as possible. After two years and approximately 20k miles I traded the car in for a much newer car. I had no real problems with the car other than lower ball joints needing replacement. The car did burn a lot of oil which made me add a quart of oil every 1k miles. For less than $2000, this was the perfect choice for me at the time. Gas mileage of course is poor in the city. Would highly recommend to purchase one of those if its inspected by a mechanic. Power train will last forever.

I got the car used; it's comfortable and quite fast. Cruising is pleasant between 80 and 100 mph. The engine really puts out the power. Plus it's quite roomy inside.

Bought this car as an inexpensive commuter and have been plesantly surprised. I bought it one year ago with 80,000 miles on it. I have put 21,000 miles on it in one year. Had to replace the starter, fuel filter, and replaced the rear brake pads and rotors. I enjoy driving this car because it's very comfy, quiet, and I think it's good on gas considering it has a V-8. I recently returned from a long road trip (1500 miles round trip) and I got 26-28 mpg through the Kentucky/West Virginia mountains. Driving around town and on the highway I average 21 mpg. Currently my "Air bag" light is on but I'm not going to worry about it.

i bought the car in 1998 with only 20,000 miles on it and now it has 50,000 miles on it.it's the best car for the price out there because, a lincoln cost about $4,000 more and just the same features as this grand marquis and also the car is very reliable and plenty of power for long or short trips. so if you want a car for a good price and reliablity get this car.

It's surprisingly fun to drive and gets good gas mileage for a V8. The trunk space is huge and the bench seats comfortable. I took it on cross- country trips because it's built for the highway and never had any problems in cold Iowa winters. The rear-wheel drive made it prone to getting stuck in the snow but it always started right up and heated up quickly. Now for the problems. *All four power window motors died, sometimes forcing me to take apart the door to get the window up. *1 door wouldn't unlock from outside OR inside *Power seat died *Gears stripped in the blower for the A/C & heat *A/C went out *Tranny started to slip *Had to junk it after 145,000 mi I still recommend!

The 93 GS that I owned was as reliable as the sun rising every morning - hardly a problem in 80000 miles of ownership. I ran the miles up to just over 160,000. The engine used no oil between 3000 mile oil changes and was always willing to run. The body was as tight as any car I've ever ridden in, with minimal noise from wind.

I bought this car because I needed a four door due to 3 kids. Now we drive it all the time. The gas mileage is great for an older car but it runs like a dream. I can't even tell the engine is running. And passing power is amazing. State troopers use it, but there is a reason they do. It's pure fun to drive and comfy as a warm blanket on a cold night.

Bought it fully loaded with 107,000 miles for $1,200. The intention was to drive while my wife's 2000 Corolla got its mechanical bugs worked out. After owning this car, I'd rather get rid of my newer vehicles before I get rid of this one. It is flat out a well-built, dependable, comfortable, relaxing car to drive. It is the car we take for any out of town trips, and we keep not because we have to, but because we want to. On the fun to drive rating, this car is not designed to be "fun". It is the most comfortable car I've ever driven, and I arrive relaxed and refreshed.

I purchased this car from an elderly woman who had not driven it in over a year prior to my buying it from her. It was in very good condition and required little investment to make it road worthy. This vehicle handles well and is excellent for long road trips. My average 17-18 mpg is more than worth the trade off in comfort, style, and safety. This is definately my favorite car to own so far.
No wonder they never change it

I purchased the car used from a 1 year lease. I have owned it for 9 years and still don't want to sell it. I've gone through 3 other cars and still have the Merc. My sons used it when they started working until they could purchase their own car, and it served well when moving rooms of things to college dorms. A true American Car, BIG and comfortable. A very reliable vehicle. Its like that ole dog to me now, I may keep it until the fruit of my loins inherit it.

Purchased used with 107k miles, and this one has every option. I've always wanted Panther platform car, and the deal was too good to pass up. I also own a 2000 Intrepid R/T, but for any road trips, or weekend driving, this one is the one. (The Intrepid is used only for the commute to work). Cheap to own, simple to repair, supremely comfortable and relaxing to drive, it's amazing to me these kinds of cars have fallen out of favor. The "Fun to drive" rating makes an assumption that fun is more important than comfort and arriving related and refreshed. I plan on buying a new LS Ultimate in 2007, but I'll keep this one for a winter/backup car. The Intrepid will not be missed.
Quite happy !!!!

Although I bought this car as a stop gap measure (as my other car blew its trans). I have been ok with this one so far. I have a bad spine due to injury, and the ride of this car is very good for both short and long hauls. I am involved in my sons (youth) fraternal oganization and frequently my car serves a bus for teens and early twenties. Even on three hour rides to events, no complaints and everybody has room.

I bought this car new and it now has almost 199k miles. It has a few electrical problems, but nothing to affect the performance. I love it and keep it shiny and clean. Everyone thinks it's a lot newer car. Every now and then, I think I'll get a new car of another type, but deep down I know I'll get another GM. It's been the best car I've ever had. I love the ride, the trunk space, the roominess inside, and the exterior design. I hope they don't change them too much in the future.

I bought this car 3.5 years ago at an auction in Florida. I drove this car in outside sales, and collections. I have had excellent service from this vehicle. Most people do not belive it, but I get at 30 miles to the gallon at 80 to 85 MPH on the highway. I had a 1989 Grand Marquis that I bought in 2002 for $700 and drove for 2 years, so this is my second Grand Marquis in the last five years. I have had such good reliability that I will definitly buy another when I wear this one out. I have 250K miles on my 94, and I plan to get another 100K miles out of this car. Great value for the money.

Car was bought to replace 1986 Olds Delta 88. Best car purchase my family has made. Driving experience, ride, reliability and comfort are superior. Remanufactured engine at 141K, and the odometer has stopped working at 211K (approximately a month ago). his car survived 2 years of high school and 4 years of college between my sister and I, and It has only begun to rust on the LF quarter panel within the last 2 years. Mileage is decent for this size and weight of vehicle, and cost to own/operate is minimal. After this experience, I won't even look at lesser trim lines of these vehicles. Dad bought a 2004 Grand Marquis to replace Ford Econoline van due to experience with this car.

Overall a good car. I bought it used and I haven't had many problems with it. I like the power of the V8 engine even though it does drink down a bit of gas. It is a luxury vehicle and it drives like one.
