Deteriorating Quality

2008 Mercury Grand Marquis LS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

This is my third Grand Marquis LS and most disapointing from purchase to quality. Love the big cars but this model has taken a step back. The materials used on the interior are cheapened plastics with sharp edges of the molding process left untrimed. Cup holder is sub standard, rubber shift arm cover prematurely wearing. Poor gas mileage, round town and hwy, avg 17.3mpg. Engine noise horrible, like a desiel, Mercury says it's the fuel injectors and normal. Normal or not, it's not quality. Exterior paint was not complete in hard to reach areas like inside door edge. After 5000 miles developed intense, intermitant, front end squeek of indetermined cause.

This is my third Grand Marquis and I have never been disappointed in any of them. Others can't come close to the comfort and smooth ride that this car gives. A very dependable auto.
My fifth in 20 years

I just bought my latest Grand Marquis after a death in the family and this is the nicest one yet. Decent mileage in a fun, reliable, comfortable car. My last four Mercury's never required mamor repairs and were as reliable as any car I can name.

Our 2008 Grand Marquis has been both a fun and reliable vehicle. Around town gas mileage is not a good as our 1997 Crown Victoria - Crown Vic was in the 16-17 mpg range, and the Grand Marquis is in the 14-15 range. While a major consumer magazine calls it an old and stodgy vehicle, it suits us just fine. We're very pleased with it.

I have ridden in these Ford sedans for over for all my life. My grandparents have had two Town Cars and a Crown Vic. The Grand Marquis, on the same platform, is simply one of the most comofortable sedans out there. It's got room, V8 power, comfort and traditional style, which stands out on today's roads. I hope Ford keeps these sedans around and updates them. Their comfort is hard to beat and it's a throwback to an earlier era, in which I wasn't even born, of big, luxurious sedans. No matter your age, young or old, the Grand Marquis offers great value and should be test driven!
