Don's 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
Great car. Great styling and everything that you get in a Lincoln for $15000 less. Compares most favorably with Buick, Olds, Pontiac and Chrysler. I would buy another with no hesitation.
Lv my Grand Ma
2nd Grand Ma I've owned. Other was a '96 which I drove for 100k miles and loved doing it. My 2002 I bought used with 11,000 miles on it and it hasn't been a dissapointment at all. Rides great, acceleration good and gas mileage on highway averages 27 mpg. Love it esp. with the price of gasoline going up these day. Can't imagine buying another car unless they just stop making them. Highly recommend Grand Mercs. Bill
But I don't feel like a Grandpa!!
Which is a good thing since I'm only 45. There just comes a time in every man's life when he gets tired of those small, 4 passenger, no power cars. When you're ready for something bigger with some major power, the GM is it. Truth be told I really wanted a DeVille, but for a little more than half the price I got the same style, roominess, comfort and POWER! OK maybe it doesn't have the GPS. A real man wouldn't use that anyway. When you're ready to give up on those toy(ota) cars and step up to some style, check out the Grand Marquis. For the first time in 15 years, I'm not embarrassed to offer to drive.
Value for the Dollar
After much shopping around looking at comparitable cars, I chose the Grand Marquis because of its size, V8 engine, and rear wheel drive. This car was thousands cheaper than comparable cars with the same equipment and platform. The car has plenty of smooth, quiet power coupled with a turnpike ride that suits my tastes. While it doesn't shine in fuel economy, it still gets much better milage than a 64 Dodge Dart I had with a 273 V8. Overall; I think the Grand Marquies and the Ford Crown Victoria are two of the best values for full size cars in todays market.
Peace of Mercury/ Ford junk
This piece of junk handles horribly and has horrible gas miles. Why can't Ford start making some cars not cruises. I also own a Toyota Avalon which is ten times better. The Mercury takes 9.7 seconds to get from o-60 with a v8 engine with 224 HP and the Avalon takes 8.5 seconds with a v6 engine with 210 HP. If you want a big boat go Linclon, Toyota, Lexus, or Acura. This car has been in the shop ever 40,000 miles. It has mainly been in the shop for electric problems and loud radding. Go Toyota Boo Ford!
