Ive owned many different types of cars in my 74 years. The Mercury has rear wheel drive, which I prefer over any front drive. I drive cross country a lot and I need the large trunk. The V8 engine is strong and smooth and gets decent mileage (18 - 25). Handling is very good for such a large car. Turning radius is a bit high (40 ft or so) which occasionaly complicates parking lot maneuvers a bit. Ride is very comfortable but the car is not "wallowy" and handles curves very well. ( I owned an Infinity G35 before - the Mercury doesn't handle as well but I don't need a race car. Couldn't drive like that anyway.) I'm very satisfied with this car. I'm not decrepit but I don't need a BMW.

We are very unhappy with the design of the 2005 Grand Marquis. There is a lot of road noise and wind noise around the windows. The ride is not nearly as comfortable as the older models. We have a 98 that is much more comfortable and has less road and wind noise than the 2005. We will not purchase another New Mercury Grand Marquis until some major changes have been made. We are hoping the Ford Motor Co. will buy this vehicle back and allow us to purchase another Vehicle. We travel back and forth to see our grandchildren and the 2005 makes it a very long 350 miles. The 2005 has been in the shop for window change out, it goes back in the shop for loose molding and for horn repair.

After putting over 17,000 miles on the odometer in less than six months, I can honestly say that our Mercury Grand Marquis has performed flawlessly. The fuel consumption is excellent for an automobile of this magnitude and has been checked against a GPS for accuracy at extended speeds of 55 to 100 mph.The fact that it is rear wheel drive and fairly evenly balanced attributes to it's beautiful handling characteristics. Probably one of the reasons that most highway patrol cars are of the same vintage. Anything less shouldn't even be considered when buying a new car if you keep safety, comfort, and dollar value in mind.

This car is hands down the best value for the money on the road. With the rebates and incentives, you can have full size American comfort at a Honda Civic price. The Marquis is powerful, handles and brakes well, and at only 1400 miles, is already getting 22 mpg in combined city and highway driving. The power pedals are a great feature, as is the power lumbar support. I really like the variable assist steering- one finger easy in town, and lots of road feel at highway speeds. The traditional body-on-frame construction seems very solid. I feel safe in this car, which is something I never felt in smaller front-drive cars. I'm a Realtor, and my clients often mistake this car for a Lincoln.
