Great road car

Had a bit more trouble with this one than the 89. Idle air control and intake manifold were problems I would not expect to have. Other than that only normal items such as alternator.

Great looking car. Listed as a big car but interior seems anything but. Front seat all the way back still leaves one feeling too close to steering wheel. Practically no leg room for rear pass- ingers. Huge trunk but a real back breaker to load and unload.

The car has had numerous problems. I could not have kept it without a warranty. Example, all four window regulators have failed at 300 dollars each to repair. Add the expected cracked intake manifold plus much else.

This car has been on an excellent car. I have used for many different things, including moving, and many, many long trips.....it averages out at about 20 mpg in the city. My four cylinder accord only gets a couple more mpg than that. I love it, but had to sell it to a family member a couple months ago, it has been a great car for her as well. I will definitly have another Grand Marquis. This was my fourth. All of them have been wonderful. Great fit and finish. The car still looks good even though its nearly ten years old. It has held up very well with a timeless design

This car is all around great. Surprising fuel economy, good handling for size, extreme comfort, good audio system, and nice pick up. I made it look like a copncar with rims and the pushbar and people stare. We have named him Marquis and I have loved him from the day I stole him from a dealer for next to nothing. No break downs or any problems what so ever. And man does he slam with my little additions. I have friends falling asleep in the back seat all of the time with the sort seats and smooth ride. Just broke 100000 and I'm driving him to the junk yard hopefully around 300000.
