Our family test drove a Lexus LS460, Audi A6, Equinox Premier, Avalon Limited, Infinity X50, Nissan Murano, Lincoln MKX, BMW Series 3, and Cadillac CTS. We don't drive on European Autobahns, Formula racetracks, through the alps, or off road. We don't talk on the phone, text, surf the net, listen to music, watch movies, eat fast food, play video games, look for restaurants, play the stock market, or drink Starbucks coffee while we drive. We drive defensively and try to avoid potholes, road blockages, road rage, inconsiderate, impatient, distracted drivers, and becoming a statistic. We don't like cameras that mask poor visibility caused by bad design, hatchbacks, oversized headrest, sunshades, micro-glass levels, and large pillars. We prefer seats that don't come equipped with a year's supply of Preparation H and require a "16 way power adjustment" to overcome what is an uncomfortable seat. We prefer a car that doesn't cost more than our house; doesn't talk back to us; doesn't have a mind of its own, and doesn't tells us hundreds of things we don't need to know, yet makes it difficult to determine our speed and fuel level. We prefer a genuinely powerful 8 cylinder 4 speed engine/transmission to "jacked-up" engine/transmissions that require a Cal Davis engineering degree to understand and a second mortgage to buy and maintain. Finally, We learned to look for cars that Edmund dissed and avoid cars they kissed. Each to his own. My family voted unanimously to keep our Grand Marquis, Likewise, we agreed that we would not exchange it for any of the cars we tested in an even swap.

I've owned 12 Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis sedans since 1989. I came across a 2009 Grand Marquis LS Ultimate Collection with just 8.400 miles on June 1, 2011. This car is not only the best full size Ford product I've ever owned, but the BEST car I've ever owned ! Say all you want about being dated, but these cars were a salesman's dream....no failure along the side of the road. Ever. The evolution from 2004 to 2009 was a continued improvement in ride and transmission driveability, shift points, etc. I've just retired and feel set for many years to come. Remember the "special feel of an Oldsmobile" ? As long as I can, I will have the "special feel of a full size Ford product".

I am about to buy my 4th Grand Marquis. First was a 1997. Need room for 4 adults, and trunk big enough for wheel chair, also wanted an V8 with posi-traction to pull my boat out every once in a while. It was trouble free all I ever did was change the oil. Sold it and the last I heard it has 240K miles on in and is still going. Bought a 2000. Same thing. Trouble free!Bought a 2005 have 90K on it and drove high speed highway driving. 24MPG and except for a broken cable in the drivers window it has been trouble free. All these cars are workhorses. The Best American made car as far as I am concerned. Also the best car for the money. Very sorry they have discontinued this winner!

Lots of bang for your buck with this one. Even though it's a throwback to the 70s (same platform since late 70s) and the sheet metal is virtually the same for the last 15-20 years; the simplicity of owing this vehicle, the reliability and comfort that comes with it can't be matched. If you're looking for a car that rides good, is big and comfortable, this is your car.

I bought this after my Audi blew up. This car used was about the same price as to repair German engineering. I drive it on a whim and twenty minutes later fell in love with it. Faster more comfortable, definably a better experience. I won't even miss all the red led lighting on The Audi or the crazy maintenance costs. Car may look like a land yacht but it's really a Ford muscle car in disguise! Get em while ya can kids.

I'm 6'3" and 300 lbs., and most cars made since 2000 are WAY too small to accommodate a man my size. Not so with the 2009 Grand Marquis. I have more headroom and legroom in this car than I'll ever need, although the back seat is a bit cramped. That's not an issue for me, as I rarely have any passengers in the car with me, and if I did odds are they'd be a lot smaller than me and just fine with the rear seat accommodations. I bought this car in 2011 for less than 1/2 the original MSRP and something like 27 K on the odometer because it was a fleet vehicle and the Grand Marquis was slated to go out of production that year. In the four years I've owned this car, the only maintenance costs I've had are a new set of tires and regular oil changes. I wouldn't even had to purchase new tires if the ones that were on the car when I purchased it hadn't dry-rotted. (I live in the West, and the desert sun and heat rots rubber like you wouldn't believe.) The steering column shaft was replaced under recall by the local Ford dealership in April 2015 even though my car is six years old, so kudos to Ford for having the integrity to stand behind its products even though they've discontinued the Mercury nameplate. The only downside of the car are the low (around 11) MPG's, but that's probably because I do mostly city driving and run the A/C (terrific, by the way) 8-9 months of the year. Fortunately, my round trip mileage to work is less than 10 miles, so even with gas currently at $3.15/gallon locally, the low MPG isn't really an issue for me. I'm sure that the fuel economy would probably double if I drove on the interstate more often. The 2009 Grand Marquis is one of two vehicles (the other being the Ford Ranger) that I wish Ford hadn't discontinued. Both are reliable, low maintenance vehicles that will easily go 200,000 miles with proper care. Hey Ford, how about making more vehicles without all the latest gadgets for us old guys?

I got this car with 12000 miles and put on additional 100000 on it. I got as high as 28 mpg and lowest was 16 mpg.. comfort hard to beat the big sled. Ride is soft and pretty quiet. I took many long trips without a bit of trouble. I always run synethic oils and its like new yet. Wish they were still made.

When I heard Ford was not making this car past 2010 - 2011, I flocked to the Mercury Lincoln Dealer and bought a new "Ultimate" Grand Marquis. I sold my 2003 to a relative. I viewed a video on you tube where a 93 yr. old owner was getting a dual exhaust put on his 2003 Mercury. Well at 73 I thought I'm not waiting til I'm 93, I'm getting a Borla dual exhaust put on it and a K&N air filter on the 4.6 V-8. This upped the h.p. and acceleration and gas mileage of the vehicle. In my book, there is nothing better than the sound of the roar of a V-8, rear wheel drive equipped with Michelin tires. And since the car has an installed tachometer, why not add the above mentioned! I'm from the old school, I don't need all the complicated electronics and I can add a GPS to my wind shield. I love the cushy ride, it is very comfortable. Mercury will be turning 10 years old in March 2020. It is still reliable and serving us well. The sound of the dual exhaust turns a lot of heads! It still has that nice cushy smooth ride. This is an update on my Mercury: The automatic transmission would not operate in reverse but was fine going in drive and shifting. I had to have it replaced and lucky for me, I have an extended mechanical electrical warranty that paid the majority cost of a replacement remanufactured transmission. We were out of the car for 2 weeks but thankfully we got it back with a replaced tranny. That was done by a major Ford dealership here in the Dundalk, MD. area. Also a couple of days ago a check engine light came on and it was diagnosed code PO301; no. 1 cylinder of the 4.6 L 281c V-8 had a bad ignition coil which was replaced and code cleared, so car is up and running great again! I figure that an 11 year old car is going to have problems and my Ford dealership along with my favorite local auto mechanical garage can take care of the problems. Update: My Mercury Grand Marquis is going to turn 12 years old and I decided to eliminate the air ride suspension and go with Strut Master steel coil springs and shock absorbers for the rear suspension and new struts and shock adsorbers for the front suspension. These items are from North Carolina, made in the USA. Now I don't have to worry about the air shocks leaking air, collapsing and the air pump burning up trying to keep air in the shocks. It can be very expensive to replace the air suspension and I don't have to worry about my Mercury sinking down at the rear. The mechanical suspension in the rear has a nice ride and I am happy with it. Update: No changes, car is holding its own, still reliable and dependable! Update: Merc is turning 13 years old still running great, everything that I can think of it working fine, just oil changes and normal maintenance done on it. We will be taking it to Ziebart for it's annual preparation for undercoating, exterior paint protection and interior cloth protection to the seats. I am now at the age to officially drive a grandpa car! Now it is 2024 and I am 79 and was 73 when I started writing this review. Time is marching on my Panther car is around 14 years old with body on frame with the smooth ride. I like watching videos on the channel you tube "Love What You Drive" So far I have removed the wide side body molding on the right and left hand sides of my car and replaced with 3/4" chrome molding. I think it gives my Merc a Lincoln Town car look. Reliable car the Mercury is and quite a daily driver. I had to replace some center wheel hub covers as the original were detioriating and fell off and got lost. When these are removed when the wheels are taken off for tire rotating, etc. they lose their grip to stay on. No complaints about the car; everything works. Oh yea, just remembered I had to have the front end shocks and struts replaced when I hit a gigantic pot hole at 65 m.p.h.! Update: My Panther car is still running great! I removed some failing fading molding on the front and rear of the car and replaced with new 3/4" chrome molding to dress the car up. Bought some Ford touch up paint stick Silver Birch Metallic and touched up some dings, chips and parking lot minor scratches.

I am a limo driver. We have a fleet of Linc/Mercs/Ford E350 vans and a Rolls Royce Silver Spur. The owner is religious on oil changes and tire rotations on these vehicles. They drive from Pa to JFK, Manhattan, NY, Newark, NJ and etc DAILY. That is 10,000/MONTH/vehicle! They are flawless, reliable, comfy and great mpg on the hwy. City driving isn't as good as hwy. I've driven Gr Marquis in snow storms to JFK to pick-up passengers already. Stop beating these cars up. The trunk space is nearly big enough to haul 1/2 a house! Ford is making a terrible mistake dropping this car in 2011. I am very partial to them and have owned 3 Gr Marq's myself with NO REGRETS!

This car hasn't changed in years and that's why it is good. They've got all the problems worked out. You can usually pick up a new for 25K at the end of the year. You can pick up a 3 year old used one for $10k that will go another 100K miles. Highway mileage is 27. And those are non-tiring miles. It's extremely safe. You can tow. I built a roof rack and can haul lumber like a pickup. A used one would make a great family car for someone with not much to spend. The only drawbacks would be comments from your friends. But you can laugh all the way to the bank.

I see Edmunds has graciously given the GM a 6.5 where the owners have a 9.1. I will agree with the owners. Yes this car is outdated which caused me to keep looking. I kept coming back. It now has features no other car has, bench seats. All the newer cars have copied the Euros and the Japanese with bucket seats and hamster motors. These killed my back and I am not a senior citizen. My back does not hurt anymore and I actually look forward to going to work ( gliding to work). Flew to Las Vegas and road tripped it home at 27 MPG. I am getting 20.3 driving to work. My 08 Sentra only got 30. Edmunds, you keep your Acuras & Hondas with the narrow seats. My American bottom will be in an American car.

This car is great for people who are not trying to outdo the 'Hendersons' If you really want to put 5 people in a car, this is the only one that will do it. The Town Car is not made after this year from what I hear. I had a Chrysler 300 that was good, but my three kids -2,5 & 16 did not fit and the seats were hard as a rock. I don't need a race car or something that hangs in the curves like James Bond. I just like having a great car that is comfortable, dependable and quiet! Nothing else is made like it. As far as the design being outdated, the reason it is still around is that it works. I have had the '91 Lincoln, '95 Crown Vic and this one. They have been great. 4.6 is solid. Beats an SUV

Comfortable, reliable, has a huge trunk.It's kind of "old school" by today's standards. Don't look for the latest in high tech gizmos. Back seat leg room seems a bit tight for a car this size. Mine's got nearly 100k miles and still looks and feels like a new 2010.

The 19 mpg is a city rating. On the highway at 80 mph I get 25-28 mpg. Some friends make 30 mpg or better. It has sufficient power to smoke the tires from a start and more than enough acceleration all the way past 100 mph. When I bought the car I was planning to put in a tuner kit to add 100 HP, but decided I did not want more horsepower as it had enough for anything but the drag strip. It has room inside. The steering is effortless, the brakes are good. I feel safe if and when a foreign car were to destroy itself against my big Mercury and the insurance claims prove it. It is a great car for a little price tag. Yes, buy a used one, they are reliable.

I bought a new 2011 Hyundai Sonata on an impulse. I regretted after a very short time and started looking for something bigger with a more comfortable ride at a reasonable price. I found it in a used 2010 Grand Marquis. Yes, it's a dated car with virtually no "technology" (except the AM/FM radio with CD) but the car is an absolute pleasure to drive. 27 MPG highway last trip. Seats are very comfortable. I'm 6'3" and my legs do not come close to the dash and there is a lot of headroom (even while wearing a hat). The car will not do "wheelies" but at my age, who cares? The point for me is total comfort and peace of mind: Grand Marquis has both. If you can find one, buy it!

I think Ford is making a mistake discontinuing this car. I love the room and power. The Mileage could be little better but good for big car. I noticed it does catch alot of side wind and the windshield holds the hard rain so visibility is poor during that. My Nissan Pathfinder did much better with the wind and rain. I still like the Merc Grand better overall. I'm just turning 50yrs but enjoy driving this car. The comfort is great. I hesitated at first during purchase because design is so retro but it has grown on me now and I really like it. You can see around during driving very good and changes lanes very stable with no sway at all. Bring it back Ford, be smart.
You have to drive this car!

First, I'm a young guy. In past, always bought Toyota, Honda and Volvo. Fate made me stop at by Mercury dealer when I was looking for replacement for car that broke down at 100k miles. Salesman asked what I was looking for and I pointed to the Marquis as a joke. He gave me keys and I said what the heck and drove it. I then bought it. I'm well over 6 feet tall and this is first car that I can stretch out my legs. Ride is ridiculously comfortable and I float down the highway. Yes, steering is squishy but this is not a sports car. Talked to a mechanic who's been replacing engines over 20 years and he never worked on a Marquis. So comfortable, reliable, cheap. You must drive this car.

Bought my first Grand Marquis in 1992. Ran it for close to 350,000 trouble- free miles. My 2009 model seems to be no different than the 1992 model. Rides like a dream, great power from the V-8 engine, and more room than you could ask for. The segue from a 17 year old model to a new one could have been accomplished while blindfolded. Fit and finish is outstanding. I hope they never stop making the Grand Marquis.
Gone with the whims.

After working at 2 Ford dealerships and witnessing many car models come and go, it was obvious to all that the loss of the Grand Marquis was one of Fords worst mistakes. If the car would have been given as much marketing attention as it had earned and deserved, it would still be with us. More proof of 'Committees' telling us what we want!

Update: Just traded it in. Required complete rear suspension at 104,000 miles. That's after the transmission rebuild at 100,000 miles. Not so great by any means; disappointing really, but also not why I traded it lol. My daughter's car got totaled so I bought her a new Buick. The deals on those were just too good to resist, so I bought a second one for my wife and traded the Merc in on that. They gave me $4800 on trade for it. The suspension and transmission work were about $3400, so that hurt a bit! The Buicks are nice, but they don't ride as well as the Grand Marquis did, and I miss that "wide body" room inside. Third Grand Marquis - had an '89, '93, and now this '09. They were/are all great cars. Decent performance and economy; wonderful room, comfort, amenities, and ride; I find them to be quite handsome-looking (ymmv); and basically bullet-proof. The front seats could provide a little more contour (they're kinda' flat) and "cush," but they are still quite good. I actually prefer cloth seats, but these are leather and that's just fine. Bought it Nov 21, 2017 with just under 79K miles for $6900. It was originally from Nevada, then Missouri so NO RUST anywhere - my mechanic gave it an inspection and couldn't find anything wrong with it at all. Nice. I promptly added some Nokian WRG3 SUV tires for year-round traction here in Michigan and also hit Crutchfield to upgrade the sound system with better speakers, an amp, and a head unit with AUX input and bluetooth capability. I have also had two Crown Victorias (and was really looking for an LX Sport or PPH Package when I found this) and can't really find anything to complain about with the Panther cars. ** UPDATE** Got an email from Edmunds requesting an update, so here it is: Still running and driving great overall. Has a persistent "squeak" over bumps, but it's not that noticeable. Required a rebuilt ETAC/HVAC head, and currently will miss a little when it's wet and cold ... probably needs a coil pack (I hope that's it). I probably won't worry about that until next winter. When I got the car with under 80K miles on it, the service history showed several brake jobs which I thought was a little odd. Now the brakes shake/shudder a bit and I'm getting them done again here pretty quick and it only has about 10K miles on it since I bought it ... for some reason, this car chews up a set of front brakes about every 20K miles on average. Overall, it's doing an awesome job of getting me around and I get a LOT of compliments on it. **UPDATE** Got another request for an update. Still running great at 100,000 miles. However, the power driver seat has begun to work only intermittently which is a problem since my wife is, like, five feet tall. Also, the transmission went out and it is in the shop getting that rebuilt as I type this. I haven't gotten an estimate on repairing the seat (it'll need to go to the dealer since my local shop can't fix the problem), but the transmission re-build will be about $2400. I have had five Panthers over the years, and this is the second one to need a new transmission before 120,000 miles. KBB value on it has only dropped $500 in the time I've owned it - I've put 20,000 miles on it in that time, so it seems to be holding its value very well.

Everyone complements the ride and drive after they have had a chance to get inside. It has such a smooth and comfortable ride much different from the smaller cars but I don't sacrifice mileage for it.

I have to admit that I never considered a crown vic or grand marquis but after driving a crown vic as a company car for several long trips I was so impressed I went and bought a 2009 Grand Marquis. I love this car and hope the stories of reliability hold true for me as I drive many miles each week and look forward to the trips in this car.

I have owned the Mercury Marquis for 13 Months and it's provided me with great transportation. Most of the driving is over the road and it gets 26 mile/gal. if I keep it under 70. Towe a 1,700# boat with no problem. I think it is the best car on the road for the money.

I've owned fast cars, sporty cars, vans & crossovers. I'm impressed with the comfort and visibility of this automobile. I have no need for fast acceleration off the starting line, the fuel economy is ok, and I don't have to lean over to see out of the car. For trips longer than to town, it is great. Styling may be old to some, but styling isn't my thing.

I always wanted to drive large 1970 styling cars like the 1975 Impala and cars of that era. I was surprised to find this car still in production! The Mercury Grand Marquis is for those who love old fashioned large V8 sedans and i bet this car will quench your thirst.

Nine years ago I went from a bullet proof Crown Vic into a Chevy Impala, which was a mistake. My Impala nearly fell apart at 90K miles, so it was a no brainer to return to the 'panther' platform Ford. I have to admit that the convenience features of the Impala are missed such as console storage, homelink, and very functional cup holders, but the ride, and spacious interior make up for it in the Grand Marquis. I have to admit that I had forgotton about the 'old man' jokes that come with this car (I am 40 years old).

The 1999 - 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis is /was a fantastic car model. A full-size luxury sedan, available with all the bells, whistles and trappings that other luxury car lines brag and boast of. It rides like a dream, all nice and soft just as you might expect. The V-8 power plant has plenty of power to get it moving and enough more to make it fun to drive. It handles as well as many cars much smaller, in town with traffic or on the highway. It is in fact a road warrior, large, comfy, gadget loaded and counting coup on the miles of roadway daring to layout before it. My last one, a 2002, had nearly 300k miles on it. I have seen a couple of them with over 450k miles on them. The 2010 I just picked up had 45,800 miles when I snapped it up a couple of weeks ago. It should last a good number of years and quite a few thousand miles more for me, as long as I keep up the maintenance. If you can find a well maintained one and are in the market, take it for a test drive. I doubt that you will be unimpressed with it. The sad part is that Mercury, and the Grand Marquis (as well as one of it's sisters the Ford Crown Victoria) is no more, discontinued. Odds are, that I just bought my last Grand Marquis. I hope that I am able to maintain this one.

it handles well and the overall performance is great except for the gas mileage which is between 14-15 miles per gallon. I average driving about equal city and distant and have also tried high test gas to see if this would improve my mileage but to no avail. please give me so ideas to increase the gas mileage as i have a 1996 ford truck that does this well. thank you
Comfort and value

When I bought the Grand Marquis I knew what I was getting: an old fashioned, large, comfortable cruiser. I like the simplicity and traditional design. Edmunds' review is too harsh. Not everyone wants a $50k BMW or Mercedes. Try it out for yourself and see what I mean.

Have had my MGM now 12 years since new and no issues of any kind so far . Mine is a 100A; that is , a fleet version , special order for government use. . Handles very well , this one has HD suspension ( no air ). Gas Mileage is better than book numbers say it would be. Best car ever bought. Addenda : Now 14 years , still no issues, just servicing by the book , or before.

I have owned a Grand Marquis for 23 years and just purchased my 7th one, a 2009. The care still rides and handles very well and looks good. I was disappointed to find they have removed the compass, the automatic parking brake release and the Home Link.
!00000 fewer miles than my 2007

I purchased a 2010 Mercury Grand Marquis LS several years ago as used, with 17,000 miles showing from a local Ford Dealer. I purchased it because I don't like the new cars which all look the same. At my age it should be my last car. The onlyl problem I've had with it is the air suspension system. It began leaking, and they replaced the air springs. Later on they leaked again. My repair guy recommended I switch to standard coil springs, whic I did. No more trouble and the ride is just the same as far as I can tell. I put narrow whitewall tires on it to dress it up, and people constantly approach me in parking lots to gush over the car. It's like going back to the 1960s in that respect. I love it.
Worst car I have ever owned!

For the past 25 years I have bought nothing but Ford cars; this is my last one! While many of the most important things about this car are good (comfort, handling, reliability, etc.) too many others are awful! The flimsy grill brackets, both visor mirrors, the gear-shift boot, the heavy plastic guard under the bumper . . . all broke or broke off within six months of the warranty ending. In the past several years many other things have mysteriously gone wrong; the headlights only go on if the cars in gear, the "air-conditioner" and heater both only blow HOT air and they blow it whether or not they are turned on! Hot air ALL the time! I'm running out of space so I'll just say "Bye Ford!"
poor gas and break pedals

the 2009 mercury grand marquis, changes were made not to my liking. the gas pedal is TOO vertical, ( needs to be more on an angle) this is causing greal nerve pain in the entire leg. The break pedal is too high, can no longer move foot from the gas to the break easly. More pain in the shin portion of the leg. These obvious changes were not present from model years 1992 thru 2007. I had no problem with these models.
Bueno
