Grand Pa'? I think not.
A mafia trunk, chunky wheels and a bad a** v-8 engine. What more could you ask for...? Rear wheel drive? Traction control? Leather? ABS Breaks? It's all there in the Grand Marquis. This car is like a rocket off the line, turn off the Traction cntrl and have some fun :) This car is surprisingly smooth and easy to handle. I went from a 99' Galant to this land boat and it handles like an overgrown German sedan. With the variable steering, cruise contrl, and that luscious suspension system one can't help but feel like they are commanding a vessel made for crusing.
Great vehicle
Traded a new Cadillac in on it. Mercury ride and quality put Cadillac to shame at less than half the price. Grand Marquis handles superbly, very agile and responsive. I love to drive it. Super smooth ride. Quiet interior. Great gas mileage: 29 hwy/20 city. I have owned Lincoln Towncars recently and like them also, but like the handling of the Mercury better.
New owner
Just picked it up a couple of days ago, Took a bit to get used to the light touch steering. Enjoying the room and the ride. Can't wait to take it on a long trip...very comfortable, still a good looking car! Suprised at the lack of extras in the interior, really sparse..my 2 year old Sable had many more interior features and was better appointed inside. Looks like there was a big giveup by buying the convenience model vs. the limited. lousy cup holders and nothing automatic in front..all manual..oh well! it's still a very good value and I don't mind since I saved about 5 grand over a Japanese model......I will enjoy the room and the ride..
Don't buy one that shakes
This car has vibrated and shook since purchased. The dealer says there is no Ford service bulletin, so there can be no problem. In fact, there is a service bulletin that the dealer apparently does not know about. I gave the dealer a copy of the bulletin and the car is still not fixed. This is the worst car I have ever owned. This car really lives up to what many people think the letters in Ford really represent.
Seats & other problems
I bought this car as a 6 passenger sedan . No way! You cannot put 3 people in the front seat of this car. Noise in or about dash dealer cannot eliminate. Very disturbing. Head rest are a big pain. While backing out of driveway you cannot see to the right with these large headrests. The car has a tendency to drift to the right.
