Solid, Reliable

2005 Mercury Grand Marquis GS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

A lot of car for the money, this replaced my 1993 Cad SDV. I find it quieter and quicker. This car is for people looking for substance over flash. It's a great car for people in my age group (50+). Very comfortable and roomy for four adults with abundant trunk room for their luggage. The only negative is the door over the gas cap - it doesn't lock, nor is there a locking gas cap available for the new design.

Oldie, but Goodie

I'm a 26 year old male and I prefer the "old Fashion" rear-wheel-drive and body-on-frame construction. The car feels solid, powerful, and comfortable. RWD with traction control does well on slick roads during Buffalo, NY winters. I plan on keeping this car for atleast 5 years or more. My only fear is that they will stop making them.

Great Car

I bought this car new, enjoyed it very much. Has 60,000 miles, 23 average mpg, better on trips. I think it's a quiet car overall, the only thing I don't like is a start up engine knock but its been doing that all the time and I lost a center hub cap. The car runs great, plenty of power for me, good ride.

Quality Lacking

This is my umpteenth Ford product that I have purchased new since 1962. The car performs well, but has a very annoying squeak in the front suspension that the service department hasn't been able to locate and repair. It would appear that quality was not number one the day my car was built. I like the ride, the looks of the car, and am happy with the gas mileage which is in keeping with the original sticker quote. My 2004 Marquis was a better built vehicle.

I am 26 yrs old and I love this car! It's black with black with black heated leather, moonroof, digital dash, rear air shocks. I had a 99 DeVille which was a horrible disappointment. I love the RWD v.s the clumsy FWD DeVille. It handles awesome for a big car. Has enough power, but could use a dual exhaust for a little more. I put dark tinted headlight and corner lenses from the 03-04 Marauder on the Marquis and they look great with the chrome grille. I get compliments where ever I go. These big RWD sedans are getting hard to find, so I am taking extra good care of this one and plan to keep it for a good 5 to 7 years.
