Didnt plan on buying a MM.Was going to trade in 1999 Grand Marque LS on exact replacement. MM was on showroom floor.The price was so right I drove it off the showroom floor for a test drive.We then drove it the 250 miles back home.You cant beat the value you get for the money in this mercury line. Power,AWESOME handling,ride is a bit stiff in the city streets but on the highway or mountain roads where we live this car was built for them.I feel sorry for city dwellers who will really never get to use the car at its potential.Note: We didnt trade in our other Grand Marque.
A real peformer

I researched this auto for eight months before purchasing. I agreed with the negative comments about slow acceleration from a complete stop,I also agreed with the poor performence of the "audio" system. I corrected the slow acceleration problem by enlarging the air intake and the exhaust from manifold to tail pipe tips. The standard 3.55 gear ratio was lowered considerably. I addresed the audio problems by replacing the monoral amp.with more power and upsized the factory woofer with a quality larger one.

A very nice car. Not worth the MSRP by any means but the market seems kind to serious purchasers. Mercury had better offer up some more power plant options! Hmmm, I would compare with a like model but I can't think of any. Not for the same money. And don't even think of comparing it to something that is front- wheel drive!!!!!

Still as much fun as when I bought it 4 years ago. Best Advice, get a power tune or a chip, Your transmission will shift smoother and your engine will awaken from its factory EPA settings. Big Black and Fast! And still nice enough to take on vacation or out to dinner. You can achieve 23 mpg fully loaded at highway speeds.
GIVE ME MORE POWER...PLEASE

We've had the car for 4 months and thus far it has been problem free, no visits to the dealership or unusual gremlins! They notified me in July '02 that vehicles were in transit but I had decided to wait for the X100 limited production version. After seeing and driving the Marauder, we decided to go ahead and buy it and replace the daily driver. The admiring glances and thumbs up from other drivers has been a kick. My wife drives it most of the time and loves to tell people it's her car not mine (she tells me she smoked a guy and his 4-speed El Camino from a rolling start the other day!).
