Best Ride Over and Over and Over

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

The best ride for a lot less money amoung full size vehicles. This is our fourth Grand Marquis and we've gotten up to 30 MPG on trips consistantly. Had only minor problems with any of them. Is a very dependable vehicle and the power pedals really help with our height differences.

Interior Noise

When my 2008 is upshifting or when it downshifts going up a hill there is loud roar coming from the engine area. Sounds like a fan blade roar. The road noise in the interior is so loud the radio must be turned up to a point that when I stop at a stoplight the sound is extremely too loud. My local dealer and factory rep says the car meets standards. I previously owned a 2002 and was very happy with it, but it was much quieter than my 2008. I am extremely unhappy with Fords lack of response to address this issue. I have driven other 2008 Marquis and all of them have these issues.

Best Full Size Sedan in America.

The Grand Marquis represents an incredible value. I looked at the Avalon, Maxima and Camry and none of them even came close on value. The Grand Marquis has a reputation for reliability and low maintenance costs for thousands less than the imports. This is the most comfortable car that I have owned. Gas mileage is very good for a full size vehicle (23.5 City & 30 Highway). It has top safety ratings in all categories. Do yourself a favor and test drive one of these before you decide to buy an import.

I write this tonight as we have just sold our 2008 Grand Marquis LS. It's pillowy ride can lead to car sickness if you drive it on a curvy road. It wallows and bounces up and down like an ocean liner in a bad storm. Speaking of storms, it does horrible in adverse weather and to top it all off, we had a few quality concerns, though the drivetrain has ran flawlessly. Our previous Mercury, a '97 Sable, was the exact opposite experiance. The ride and handling were ballanced well and traction was never a problem. It also seemed to have more leg room which is why we sold the Grand Marquis and are purchasing a 2012 Taurus tomorrow. The quality of the leather alone in the Taurus is 10X that in the G
