Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Handling that belies its size, the ride and comfort of a Town Car, strong straightline performance once engine speed builds, high safety ratings.
Cons
- Lack of low-end thrust, poor lateral support in seating.
What’s new
A new heavy-duty four-speed automatic comes standard for quicker shifts along with traction control and an upgraded audio system. Dark Red and Silver are newly available exterior colors. The 4.6-liter V8 now comes with dual knock sensors for improved engine response at low speeds.
Edmunds says
Although nimble for its size, the Marauder lacks the kind of tire-melting power necessary to qualify it as the rebirth of the American muscle car.

2004 Mercury Marauder 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
This car is a remarkable value. Paid 22K CPO in Aug and this thing rides like an American S-Class. Could it be a little faster...maybe. Once its off the line this car is an animal from 20-120. I think Mercury hit it right. More horses would've made this car a gas guzzler. I think that they bailed out way too soon on HiPo.. now Chrysler has all the 4 door muscle. Including a suicide … door Imperial.(Way to fo LM asleep at the wheel as ususal.) This car is BEAUTIFUL in every way imaginable. They should bring it back and offer a light 4.6 and a Supercharged version. . I love this car. Drive it once and you'll want it
All cars should be like this

2004 Mercury Marauder 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
I drive over 100 miles a day to and from work (mostly highway). I get 25 MPG in the summer and 22MPG in the winter (hate that winter gas). The car is big and roomy. It reminds me more of the cars from the late 1960's. At nearly 50,000 miles, its time to replace the rear tire, again.

2004 Mercury Marauder 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
To date I have never done anything to her other than normal maintenance work you would expect. Tires, brakes a couple of light bulbs. For it's weight @ 4200 lbs or 2tons the car has plenty of power and handels better than you would figure on a full size 4 door. The ride and comfort for a full size muscle car is exceptional to say the least. Many changes were made to it so it would … stand out above the Grand Marquies. No more conventional stearing has rack and pinion. Forged control arms with a better front and rear suspension and larger sway bars. Heavy duty transmision and coolers for it. Mustang rear end gears and so much more.

2004 Mercury Marauder 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Had the car 2 months now. I'm a young
guy(30's) and beleive it or not,
previously owned 2 Grand Marquis. Liked
them but decided for something with a
little more attitude. Certainly found
it with this beast. I love the car, but
it has fit & finish issues. I'm very
disappointed with inconsistent spacing
between doors and roof panels. Not
acceptable for a car that lists … for
$37,000. Dash started to come apart on
pass. side. Dealer fixed that. Yet
driver side doors are still mounted
improperly causing paint to chip in
door jams. Dealer fixed that, but gaps
between door and roof are inconsistent
with pass. side. How does this make it
past quality control at the assembly
plant? Unacceptable!
