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.

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..

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.

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.
Axles are soft, fuel pump is weak, lighting faulty

I bought it to make highway trips, and that is what it excels at. I would not buy this for cruising around town. This car is built to do speed, and to have a sure foot on the highway, and it does with the right tires, not Michelin. It has aggressive gearing I like to get acceleration, and to be able to do 140 MPH. The ride is great and quiet on the highway, not the best, but up there. This is best bought as a Used vehicle since you get the best deal for the value. I only recommend the Ultimate edition, because this car is not worth the money without all the goodies. Plenty of room width-wise, no bumping elbows. Big trunk for all you luggage.

Previous cars were also Grand Marquis'. This car has much more "pep" than the 93 and 98. However, the ride is not nearly as comfortable as the previous two. I even took the car back with less than 100 miles on it to have the dealer check to see if they had mistakenly put a ride and handling package on this car. The said it was the standard suspension. I like the looks of the car and the performance of the engine, but if I were to do it all over, I might just go ahead and buy the Lincoln Town Car just for a more acceptable comfortable ride.

This car does have the leg room that my 99 Taurus Wagon, which has 120000 miles and no problems. The back seat leg room is very small compared to the Chysler Concode which have rented severa times The car is not exciting. I have always had a car that was different and I can say this has it. From 51 Riley to Cadillac limos, 61 Lincon Conv. I am looking forward to some thing that is not a old mans car. I am age 76 and still like sports cars, etc. \

Pride of ownership comfort quite ride with very little wind noise and no mechanical noise will probably install a tackonometer so i can tell when engine is running I really enjoy the car and the dealer has gone out of her way to please.maybe because the dealer manager is a real pleasant person and a true LADY.

This Mercury is a Lincoln with a ten- thousand dollar discount! It is crisp in performance,tight in all the right places, the paint is flawless, the fuel economy ain't bad either! Wow....what a looker, and engine performance seems to have a hefty rocket under the hood. There is some road noise at highway speed, but Lincoln is a bit noisey too! You can not go wrong with this product, as this is like an expensive wine, at premium beer prices, so go see your favorite dealer A.S.A.P!
Great Car

I have put about 15000 miles on it and have enjoyed driving it. It is roomy and comfortable, I am a big guy (6'2" and 240lbs)and it fits me!! It handles great with the good old fashioned feel of the big rear wheel drive V8. I had forgotten the nice low rumble of the V8.

The car is very reliable, ita the second mercury marquis i have owned.Previously had a 1992 model with almost no trouble except with the power windows. I like the new features of this car, the remote control of the radio and air conditioning from the steering wheel. It's just the best

This is a super car. lots of room. the only problem with these cars is wind noise from the windows.we enjoy this car for long distance and plenty of room in the inside and the trunk. this is our 4th one. we like the new car smell. This is an easy car to trade up for a new one and eldorado is a super place to trade.
What a great car!

This is by far the most comfortable car I have driven in a long time. The ride is soft, but not flouncy and it handles wonderfully. I just returned from a 6.5 hour drive and I was not tired after it like I usually would be. Not only that, but I averaged 25.7 mpg over 3 tanks! My mileage on it hit 26.1 once - and on a V8! I should have bought this long ago. My only criticism? The brakes are a little squishy and the AM radio sound is pretty muffled. I'll live with it.

This has been a wonderful experiance so far. When I bought the car I needed the larger space that this car provides. I never thought that I would be getting a Towncar only $15000 less. Forget your front wheel drive and get back to what a car should feel like when you drive it.

Lots of "bang for the buck". Commpare the Grand Marquis to models like the Toyota Avalon? Avalon's price approaches 30k but a Grand Marquis can be had for between 21 and 23k . Then compare the price of repair parts and there is a huge difference. (The GM being far less expensive to repair, of course)

This is my 3rd Grand Marquis and the '03 is the best! I appreciate the big trunk, rear air suspension, and very good mileage for a car this size. I am 76 yrs old and drive to Florida each January. I am not tired at the end of each day's travel. Dependability has been excellent.

The Ultimate edition has same features as Lincoln - Air ride,& more features than Lincoln, such as Digital Dashboard, full size spare tire, etc. I have driven new Lincolns'every two years from 1984 through 1998. In 2000 I bought a Ford Expedition. I was looking to trade in my 1998 Lincoln for a 2004 Lincoln. The Dealers in my area would not give me the NADA or Kelly Blue Book Wholesale or trade in price. Instead they quoted the Gail Auction prices.

Owned a "97" LS. The 2003 is far superior in all areas, especially steering and ride. Fuel mileage on local driving is 20 to 21. Open highway is 28-29 with A/C on. Not bad for a car this size and weight. Self leveling is a plus.

With the improvments Ford made the in this automobile they they really created a winner. It is an a great buy for the money. The interior is luxurious, the confomrt of a full sized sedan and its saftey, a powerful V8, and I love the handling of a rear wheel drive car regarsless of what the critics say. All I can say it's the greatest.

This is my fourth Grand Marque starting with a 1984. I have always enjoyed driving them and have never had any serious trouble. For a large car the gas mileage is very good. Gets 21 in town and 28 on the highway. Good dealer to deal with and good service at dealer.

Just traded my trusted 2004 with 91,000 miles. A trusted friend on a new Lincoln Corsair Reserve. Yup a Lincoln crossover. Test drove all of the line up except the Navigator. Holy Batman, loved the Grand marquis LS Ultimate edition however it was time to drive a new ride. Fuel economy in the city was 18 MPG however on the road 24 MPG was easily attainable. Carried my love and all our luggage, go to car with friends and those shopping runs even to Costco was so easy with a trunk that could hold most anything comfortably. Hint, vehicle was sold the day I traded it. If you need good transportation with plenty of room, go for it.

Purchased a second hand Marquis LS Ultimate Edition. This is my second Marquis. First one was a 1991 and I have noticed that the ride is more stiff on the 04. Same gas mileage as my 96 Cougar and with a larger engine.

The car looks good, handles and rides just like a Lincoln Town Car minus all the toys and if you could live without the sofisticated extras and toys this is the car to purchase. The Grand Marquis Convience model is the car you want to own. I've had the car almost three months and put 3500 combined city and highway miles averaging 20 to 21 M.P.G.

I'm really in my element driving a big, comfortable American-made sedan. I traded a 1995 Buick Roadmaster with more than 200,000 miles on a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis LS and after 10,000 miles, I find that my LS does everything well. It's big, comfortable, reliable, well-built and a pleasure to drive.
