Used 2010 Mercury Grand Marquis Sedan Consumer Reviews
Good Old AMERICAN Car
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!
Good Car
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.
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!

Fantastic Car line!
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.

Solid as a rock
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.
