MY MARAUDER
I LIKED THE MARAUDER WHEN IT FIRST CAME, BUT I DID NOTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL I HEARD IT WAS BEING DISCONTINUED. THEN I RUSHED OUT AND BOUGHT IT! IT'S A GREAT ALL-AROUND PERFORMANCE CAR. DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU ABOUT IT IN THE MOTORING PRESS. IT HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST SECRETS IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY. I SIMPLY LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT. I ALWATS WANTED A LARGE MUSCLECAR, LIKE THOSE IN THE 1960'S AND EARLY 1970'S. MOST CRITICS OF THE MARAUDER SIMPLY DON'T GET IT, AND THEY NEVER WILL.
ImpMauler
First thing first. This car can stamp out any Impala on the road. However, the Imp was built almost ten years ago and still is a worthy adversary. To me that doesn't make sense. This car should have been 360 horsepower more low end torque and equipped with a five speed automatic/auto stick. Then I would be able to understand Ford's ingenious advertising scheme for this car (not!)Which we all know was no advertisement at all. Because you wouldn't have to advertise a car like that. But that didn't happen did it? And that is why this is the last year the beloved Marauder will be built. What a shame!!

Dream To Own And Drive
This car is a dream if you are interested in performance. It has the power to merge into traffic on the freeway and the power to pass other vehicles on 2 lane roads. I am getting about 23 MPG on the highway and about 20 MPG in the city. It is so comfortable that I can drive this car for 350 miles without stopping and not get tired. There is plenty of room in the back seat for your passengers and there is a center fold down armrest in the back seat. The visibility from to the outside from inside the "cockpit" is excellent and all the gauges are easy to see. The console makes a handy storage area but unfortunately neither it nor the glove compartment lock. I love this car.
Mercury Marauder
Mercury should've continued this rear wheel drive musclecar and added a supercharger to it. Mercury's failure to adequately market this model cost it sales in a serious segment of the performance sedan market. Mercury hasn't had any marketing sense, it seems, for 30 years.
