Great car for the money. Mercury is dealing and able to get a large car for the price of a midsize. Smooth riding and quiet. Certainly a better ride and more comfortable than either a Pontiac Bonneville or Buick Park Avenue (owned both).

Cushy ride, but not wallowing. Drives like the old Caprice Classic it replaced, though the Caprice Classic seemed more powerful. Nice car, though obviously not exciting or impressive to others -- until they understand how much car we got for how little money. Best value on the road, probably. We expect it to last a dozen years. Maybe longer than we will!

I fell in love with this car when I used to travel from NY to FL to see in-laws, I frequently rented one and enjoyed the smooth ride on the highway. Recently when my 05 Expedition gave it up with only 80K miles on it, due to the POS Triton v8 engine,I decided not to give Ford new car money for awhile . So I started searching for a used Mercury Grand Marquis and I hit the jackpot, an '05 Ultimate with a digital dash and alloy rims, perfect leather and paint, garaged with 35K miles on it. It needed a new set of tires all around and what a difference that made for the ride. I added a performance intake and a touch screen bluetooth radio and backup camera. At first they laughed at me, 2 years on it has 56K miles on it and I only changed the fuel filter, and oil (of course) and I get stopped all the time by people who say it's a great car, I tell my wife those are people who know cars and can appreciate this beauty. I may add an aftermarket console so I have a place for my sunglasses, but overall I got a "creampuff" Mike Long Island NY - 4 years on 71K miles, performed Ford recommended 60K mile service, replaced struts shocks, brakes, flushed tranny fluid and other than that, normal maintenance, No issues, also installed a backup camera and aftermarket radio, so I can have some of what my friends have in luxury cars with hefty monthly payments, still love the car.

This is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. It is quiet, smooth and suprisingly agile for it's size. The level of equipment for the price and size of the car is exceptional. I would buy another without hesitation.

I bought this car for my 40th birthday. It had 76,000 miles on the odometer. And the car was in PERFECT condition. As a Dad with 3 kids in the house, safety is number one. I paid $6,500 FOR THE CAR AND HAVE CONSIDERED THIS CAR THE BEST i HAVE EVER OWNED. It isn't the prettiest. But, I KNOW I could put 200,000 miles on this car. I just put a new set of Goodyear Eagle GT's on this car and it handles great. And for the harshe winters here in southern Michiagan, the car is exceptional.
