This car handles like a dream. I don't know where some of the people get off giving it a bad review. I am 43 years old and have driven everything from Beetles to Vettes. This is a great car for the money, runs strong and mileage is fine. Especially for a big car. This car looks and runs great.
Good Car that Could Be Better

My experience with FoMoCo products is that they are good ideas poorly executed. My Mercury is a case in point. While perfect for people looking for a traditional RWD sedan that owns the road, this car lacks the solidarity and reliability its predecessors possessed. It handles well for its size in braking, acceleration, and cornering. It also is a good ride on the highway. But don't expect too much from it. The engine has mounds of torque but is noisy when pressed. The engine is a great performer, but you got to go light on the gas unless you (a) can afford speeding tickets and (b) are related to a Saudi prince and have inherited your own private oil well.

11/16/2023 - I bought this car after my last car was totaled thanks to a drunk driver... That'll teach me to get McDonald's at 1a.m. Anyway, I had a '14 Nissan Sentra - HATED that car, so eh whatever. When I was looking for a new car, I wanted something simple enough that I could still work on it, but also with low miles. That's when I found the 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis at a local dealer. I was skeptical about buying a car this old, but the condition it was in, and the low milage - 51K, basically forced me to take it out for a test drive. I did some research online and found out which years to avoid for this vehicle, and the 2002 models are solid. Let me tell you though, when I took it out for a test drive, I was a little impressed. The car hit 50 mph in a few seconds, faster than the Nissan ever could, and I hardly even noticed it accelerating. I bought the car that day. it's been 2 weeks now, and I just got back from a road trip over the weekend. I am more pleased with the car today, than I am when I bought it. I can't speak to every one of these vehicles still on the road today, but if you can find one in as good of shape as I did, snatch it up. They don't make them like this anymore, and it's a shame.

My new 2002 GS Conv is second to 95. NO BETTER VALUE. Interesting to see changes over years, adding anti-lock brakes, driver's power lumbar, cornering lamps, keyless entry (part of conv group and includes moveable pedals), bigger battery, improved AC, front reading lamps, but removed illuminated front door "lamp reflectors" (side of door when you open door, replaced by reflectors), reduced gas tank (21 to 19), deleted trunk toplid carpeting and glove compartment damper (it just falls now, instead of a soft opening), return of locking gas lid (95 had it, but eliminated through 01 and returned in 02), removal of a separate trunk key and locking trunk remote release.
A GREAT, BIG CAR

THIS IS A GREAT CAR TO DRIVE THE LONG TRIP OR AROUND TOWN. IT'S LIKE DRIVING YOUR EASY CHAIR. THERE IS TRULY NOTHING LIKE A BIG CAR FOR COMFORT AND COMFORT IS WHAT THIS CAR PROVIDES. FOR THE MONEY, I FEEL IT IS HARD TO BEAT. AND WITH THE THEN $3000 REBATE AND DEALER DISCOUNT A VERY AFORDABLE AUTOMOBILE. I'LL NEVER GO BACK.
