Another Big Car Review

I have only had two bad problems with this vehicle. The intake manifold leaked and the transmission shifting. Both where taken care of by the local Mercury Dealer at no cost to me. Even though the car was out of warranty when the maniflod went out.

FORD'S BETTER IDEA

I just experienced my 8th power window failure. This is my wife's car, no kids to abuse the system. Ford has been building cars with power windows for over 50 years and still can't get it right. Other failures include the dreaded plastic intake manifold. The improved Ford replacement manifold is now leaking around the heater hose nipple. Ford has been building cars for 100 years and has difficulty building a manifold that holds water. My wife has been stranded twice with no start issues due to poor crank trigger connector placement, it takes on water when driving in the rain. The rear seat belts were replaced under warranty and still have ratchet issues. The clear coat & paint have failed.

Great Car

This is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. I purchased it from a dealer that had it on a 3 year lease and it only had 34,000 when I got it. Only thing I didn't like about the car were the General Tires they put on it. I have been to numerous trips and get around 26.5 MPG highway miles. I noticed that I get about 3 extra miles per gallon using high

Best car I have owned

Out of all the cars I've owned my 97 Grand Marquis is the best. I've had a Lincoln Town Car, a Camaro, an Escort, and a F250. Its a reliable, fun to drive car that holds 6 people. It handles well and I always feel safe driving it. I recomend the Grand Marquis to anyone looking for a rear wheel drive 4dr sedan. I love the 4.6L V8. It is suffeciently powerful and the 4spd trans works well too.

This is the best car that I have ever owned. It is big, roomy, and looks good both inside and outside. For a large car, it gets good gas milage (25 - 30 MPG on the hiway, less in the city). Maintenance has been minimal. I would have no hesitation in purchasing another Grand Marquis
