HOT ROD MERC
GREAT PERFORMANCE AND RIDE.IT'S COMFORTABLE FOR THE LONG HAUL AND JUST PLAIN FUN TO DRIVE. IT EVEN GOT A THUMBS UP FROM A CAR FULL OF TEENS.
fun to drive
It's a car that feeds the ego. It hearkens back to a bygone era, but with a reliable vehicle. It looks good, rides good, gets decent gas mileage(never less than 17) and draws compliments as nothing else I've ever owned. I could take two friends and all their luggage to the airport in comfort with no problem. It handles better than my 2002 Grand Marquis did. I am 65 yrs old, 75" tall and over 200lbs and I can get in and out of it in comfort.
03 Mercury Marauder
The mercury Marauder is a pleasure to own, drive and behold. I have never owned a vehicle that put a permanent grin on my face before. It is a vehicle that you have to drive to appreciate. Test drive one. You will find your own grin!
If money was no object
This is the best car, overall, that I have ever driven. I would pick this car over all others even if money was no object.
2004 Mercury Marauder
The car comes fully equipped and the only major option being a moonrroof. The seating is comfortabe for five and a large trunk for their luggage. It is not a drag car but it can hold its own with most daily drivers and get you there in real comfort. You need the cruse control or you find your self exceeding your estimated speed. Fit and finish is very good and they got the torque converter stall and transmission shifting on target. The torque and HP peak at high rpm which gives a real high speed kick. Getting 24 mpg on the road its a pleasure to drive and even my wife loves to drive it.
mercury marauder-2003
I needed a 4door vehicle for family reasons,but WANTED performance ,comfort and safety. I got all of this with this car. good price and incentives made the deal!
Must have car, nothing like it driving
This car is awesome, will give whiplash if not careful. Good fit and finish. Lots of attention from people especially when the engine is reving. Have not noticed excessive body roll.
The best car ive ever had
From the immaculate interior to the extremly fast v8 the mercury marauder is by far the best thing that has come out of ford in a while..
I love this car
In the three months I've this car, I've fallen in love with. Big fast car. Fun to drive, and I feel very safe in it. With everyone driving SUV's, it's nice to be in a large car that rips up the pavement. Gas mileage isn't geat, but we're talking about a big car.
2004 Mercury Marauder - Black
Great comfort, can get into the fast lane quick (while coming in from the on ramp), makes for a "safe feeling" ride (especially with all that steel around you). Funny to see people getting out of my way thinking that I am a cop - until they see the Registration Sticker in the back window. Also interesting to see a lot of old timers giving the car the once over - it catches their eyes since they are driving normal Grand M's or Crown Vic's. One word of advice, for those that live up North - buy a remote starter (or better yet, do as I did and negotiate it as part of the deal - I got it for "free"). BEWARE: No snow tires are made for the back wheels.
HEAD TURNER
This auto is a real head turner.Big and bold styling.The chrome wheels and metallic red paint drew rave reviews from family and freinds.The bucket seats are very supportive especially with the lumbar support.This auto has 302 horses from a 281 cubic inch engine.What more could you ask for! ABS,TRACTION CONTROL and great detail inside and out.Big by nature and a lot of fun to drive.
EXCELLENT CAR
EXCELLENT VEHICLE COMFORTABLE NICE LOOKING BUILT FEATURES GREAT SEATING EXCELLENT MUSIC SOUND GREAT BACK SEAT COMFORTABLE FOR SMALL AND LARGE PEOPLE RATES WITH THE FOREIGN CARS VERY WELL IF NOT BETTER
Good to have Muscle again
This car reminds me fo the early 70's, when we were overwhelmed with muscle cars. This car brings power, and comfort. This has been one of the best cars I have ever owned. This vehicle is just a pleasure to drive. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who need speed & comfort.
LOOOOVE IT
Great style Fun to Drive Faaaaaast
Upscale Musclecar
Great combination of performance and comfort for a daily driver. Low production figures. Frequent compliments given by total strangers.
old woman car NOT.......
SOUND FROM MOTOR AT IDLE AND TAKE OFF ARE A DREAM.
marauder good idea
nothing wrong so far.have not bought a new ford product since 1974.this car is well built and solid.
Old time Muscle
I'm very impressed with my 2004 Maroon w/ charcoal interior. Rides, sounds and performs very well. Turns heads with appearance and exhaust sound. I like the feeling of safety in it's full frame, large body. Rides a bit stiff in order to give great handleing ability.
Big Cars are back
I like large, safe powerful vehicles. People are overlooking these American luxury sedans and settling for gussied up compact imports with 1/2 the room. SUV's have outlived their lifespan,fuel and insurance is far too high and one can get as much space, comfort and far better mileage than a suv. I think the Marauder is a great option for a large car with many luxury comforts and true V-8 power.
A great modern muscle car
This was my first car and I am very happy with it. Maintenance is very easy if you plan on doing it yourself, it’s not high tech enough to where you’d need to take it to a dealer. Very much worth your money

03 Muscle not there!
The hype that this mercury is in the lines of any muscle car just isn't true. The 302hp engine does not do it, poor acceleration, good for high speed driving but 0-60 not impessive. That's what the "muscle cars" were all about. I still have a 1971 chevy nova small block that will leabve this mercury in the dust. Its basically a souped up Grand Marquis with a high $35000 price tag and I regret buying it.
A $32,000+ Car?
I'm astonishing that Mercury can price a car over $32,000. 302 horses sound great. But no appearance at all. Seems to be a taxi-looking car. Both exterior & interior are definately eye- sored. Even Ford T-Bird looks better. With $32,000+ budget, smart people can look for Acura TL (270hp), Nissan 350Z (287hp), Subaru Impreza WRX STI (300hp), Infiniti G35 (260-280hp). Or with few additional grands, people can buy BMW 330i (225hp) or Volkswagen Passat W8 (270hp). 0-60 for those cars are around 6.0 sec. WRX STI is even less than 5.0 sec. Just think about it..!!
