Great, Quiet Ride & European Style

I bought a low-end model for less than $24K; priced about the same as a Sable wagon, but much nicer. Even the popular priced model has many luxury appointments, a quiet, controlled ride and smooth transmission. I'm 6'4" tall and need lots of headroom and legroom. This car has it in abundance, plus a huge trunk. It won't seat six passengers like the Grand Marquis, but its design, styling, interior appointments and ride are much more up- to-date. If this new model proves to be reliable, then Mercury has a real winner.

Love this car, but still just a Ford

This is a car with really big value. I have the Luxury which has nice leather, wood and some brushed metal accents (plastic). Overall, very snazzy car, HID headlights, premium cd, etc. I can't even emphasize enough how roomy this car is inside. Was very happy. Downside - they used the old Taurus transmissions in a new car! What a scam! Only 200 hp, very low low-end torque. Build quality showed thru at the end of my lease. Rear driver's side door became water-logged from car wash, rear sway bars and bushings are shot. Power steering pump is shot, dealer insists there's nothing wrong, all Ford's make that loud whining sound when turning a corner. And that's why I'm buying a BMW next!

I had several Mercury Grand Marquis sedans that were fully loaded, and wanted to try a change to this new model, and it really is new/different...
