This is a fantastic car. I have owned it since 2007, when I purchased it with about 16,000 miles on it (it had been part of a rental fleet). It now ias 310,000+ miles on it. I have done all the routine maintenance such as oil changes and tire rotations, while skipping suggested engine and trans flushes, and it hasn't cost much to fix things that have gone wrong over the years. There wa a steering column recall (in 2014 I believe) and I had that fixed, and it helped a lot in terms of turning smoothly.

This is my first Grand Marquis and I have owned it for 14 months. I primary use it for work and recreational driving on the weekends. I have put on 31,000 miles and it's been pretty reliable so far. I get about 21-22mpg doing both city and highway driving. I think it handles pretty well for such a big car. The traction control came in handy in the snow.

The auto handles well and gets good milage on the open road. It is stylish. If I had to find one fault I would say it could use better soundproofing. There is high road noise from cabin.

The gas mileage is amazing for the size of car. Overall the drive is quiet. Roomy is the key word of this car! The seats could use a bit more redesign as they tend to be a bit low to the floor.

Disappointed in new Mercury

I bought a new Mercury Grand Marquis Premium LS about 2 weeks ago. I had it up to Interstate speed earlier this week and discovered that the wind and tire noise are horrible. It is so loud that it drowns out the radio. I took it back to the dealer who claims to have test drove it along with another new Mercury. He claimed the other new car noise was as loud or louder than my car. His conclusion was that the noise was a design flaw and there was nothing he could do. I have a hard time believing Mercury would manufacture a vehicle with this much driving noise, but apparently they did. I cannot and will not recommend this vehicle to anyone.
