Mine has 62K miles currently and bought it with 45K miles. This car DOES "float/glide" on the road which is typical for a large sedan. Once you do drive it though you will get used to the floaty sensation. This car has a EXTREMELY soft suspension which is good for people like me who live on Long Island NY and have roads that have a ton of pot holes and bumps. Going over a series bumps on a rough road will feel like vibrations. This car has A LOT of power for a car this size and weight! I was surprised on how much power it has when I floored it! The seats are very soft which is very comfortable! Bad things- -Car has sloppy handling -Hard to park -cheap interior

Love this car!

We bought this car with 80,000. on it and now it has over 240,000. We've been to Utah and back to Ok several times and each time we check the mileage. The worst it got was 26 mpg and the best it got was 31 mpg. Each time. I find it hard to believe it only rates 16 in the city. This is a caddy for the poor people. We were going to get another one until they quit making them (that was dumb) So we got a Ford Escape instead. My dad has a 1999 and he loves his too.

Bubbling and Peeling Paint

I have purchased Ford products for 44 yrs! From mustangs to Lincoln town cars! I own a 2001 Mercury grand marquis ls and a 2004 Mercury grand marquis gs! The problem is the bubbling and peeling paint on both my Mercury's! The 2001 is peeling in the seams around the back window and roof and have started to rust! The 2004 has the major paint problem! I have the same problem as the 2001 but, much, much worse! The roof paint is literally bubbling off the metal as it is around the back window! The weird thing is that I met a woman at the gas station (that has a 2003 marquis). Her gd marquis is peeling in the same places as mine! Rust is all over this car!

Second Grand Marguis LS I've owned and it's because they drive and ride so easy and have such power. Roomy, comfortable, luxury at it's best. I love it. Someone backed into me in the Arby's parking lot once and I had to have it repaired. The Robert Hutson dealership did a great job. I always had service done at 3,000 miles and have not had any problems.

I have owned the Marquis for over three years. Got the car with 54,000 miles and after the three years of beating it down with delivery service for almost 100,000 of my own miles, the car is still running magnificently. My mom had a 96 and put 308,000 miles and it was still running. These cars are reliable

I have a 2001 Grand Marquis LS and it is a very reliable car even with over 174,000 miles on it. The only things that kept this thing from starting was a few bad alternators and at about 170,000 miles a bad ignition switch. The gas mileage in this thing is a killer. I get about 15 city and 22 highway, but I don't drive like the car is made for, a grandma. For a V8 this car's horsepower is way less than impressive, most V6's and a lot of l4's nowadays have more power than it. If you want a safe, reliable family car then the Grand Marquis is the way to go. If I were to buy it again I would rebuild it to how Ford should have.

They keep building them

As another person mentioned, this car is a sleeper. The 210hp 4.6L V8 with SOHC provides very good performance while giving surprisely good gas mileage. I get 30 mpg Imperial (Canada) driving at over 60mph or 100kmph. This engine is designed for fuel efficiency while being powerful enough at .75 hp per cubic inch. The car is designed for comfort, which is why I like the arm rests instead of a storage bin. If you want a storage bin, buy an after market product for the transmission hump. Yes, the power windows are slow and you wish they would go faster when you are in a hurry, but that's not a deal breaker. You can still buy a 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis.

Purchased this vehicle as a second car to travel back and forth to work ( I have two new Mercury's that I did not want to use for work ) the 2001 Mercury had 10000 miles on it!not even broke-in yet. what a pleasure to drive, I don't even use our other car's. fuel mileage is good, I love the ride, the cabin is very quiet and configuration is great, as for the exterior, in my opinion it is one of the best looking car's in it's class. Reliability played a large part in my decision process, I'm a retired officer from a county in Pa. the fords I drove every day were ( and are ) very reliable vehicles. I just moved up a rung on the ladder of the vehicle that I drove for twenty years.

This was our first large sedan. We found it to be luxurious and very comfortable. Mil age was a pleasant surprise at 21 mpg around town and 27 mpg on long runs (8 cross country trips). Generous trunk space is a plus for long, extended trips. We had one traveling mishap; on the first return trip from out West the transmission went out. We stopped at a nearby town where the transmission was replaced in a couple of days. We were loaned a car to get around with and treated well. Upon our return, I submitted bills for hotel and meals which were promptly paid. Over all we found the car to be everything we wanted and a bit more. As a result of our good experience, we purchased a 2006 Grand Marquis

Great car to do the open road in. Gas mileage is better than you would expect from a car this large.The only problem is the rear shocks/spring set-up. If you do not want the rear of the car to sit low in rear loaded, you need to put overload shocks on it. With these on you still have a great ride, with no sag. Climate control is a must have option, now that I experienced it. Also do the cloth interior, no cold or sticky leather. If I had to buy another car right now, it would be another Mercury Grand Marquis LS.

Great long trip comfort ride with respectable gas mileage, especially for full sized vehicle. Second such vehicle I have purchased, as '96 was totalled by red light-running fool. Was struck at 50 mph and both I and passenger came out of it OK. Believe me when I say I feel pretty darn safe in this car! Great style, comfort, safety and decent economy in full sized ride.

I have been well pleased with My Gran Marquis. It is my second one and I plan on getting another. It is especially good for long trips. It provides an extreemly smooth and comfortable ride, with good acceleration, and responsive handling. I get about 20-22 MPG on the highway at speeds crowding (sometimes exceeding) the limits. I appreciate the large trunk space. I have driven it from St Louis, MO. to Niagra Falls, Orlando, through the Rockies and to numerous shorter (300-400 Miles) with no breakdowns or difficulties. I am proud of my "Merc".

This is standard suspension LS (not the 'performance' version), well equipped w/leather, 8-way power seats both sides, factory CD, power pedals etc. I use this as a highway commuter, 66 miles/day. GOOD: 4 disc brakes, fuel economy (26 hwy), reliability, passenger and luggage space, safety, value for low buck. NOT SO GOOD: Numb handling, sensitive to cross winds. So-so ergonomics...long reach to radio, wide but unsupportive seats, no tachometer, slooooow power windows, no usable cupholders or driver storage (dumb split armrests...coulda been storage). Aging old-man styling, but still a respectable old-fashioned Detroit cruiser.

Purchased used for about $11,000 after my 1996 Grand Marquis was stolen. Fifteen months and 25,000 miles the only repair has been a turn signal bulb. 320 lbs of sand in the trunk makes winter driving ok despite RWD. It is very comfortable and the AC and heater work exceptionally well. Road noise is moderate. The interceptor package makes handling pretty good and passing acceleration outstanding. I average 17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway. I get grief because it's an old man's car but have lots of extra money to spend on other things. Like the 1996, it occasionally feels a bit loose over uneven surfaces.

The Grand Marquis is surprisingly stingy on gasoline while providing remarkable V8 power for any driving experience. Comfort, safety and handling are all a plus and I consider the Grand Marquis one of the best values for the dollar.

I have the LSE model with the 240 hp motor, dual exhaust, performance package, and it is great. Great on the highway, and very fast and flat in the corners. Go through a lot of tires (snows are mandatory for the rear wheel drive).

This is the third car of the same basic design I have owned. The comfort of driving and riding in these vehicles has been excellent. The out of pocket cost of repair has been minimal.Typicaly fuel mileage has been between 18 and 28+ MPG. These cars have suited my needs, are comfortable and a pleasure to drive

Great Car, but I can't see where I'm going at night. The headlight beams are so scattered that they don't reach very far down the road. My old truck with sealed beams has better lights! Otherwise, the car runs and drives great. Having been a Japanese car mechanic for 20 years, I can honestly say that the overall fit and finish, mechanical quality and performance of this car is more than a match even for more expensive imports. My family needed a bigger car, and all it took was one test drive to sell me on this one.

This is one solid car, its safe, has plenty of room and power and it will pass about any car on the highway. The Grand Marquis is so reliable that my '88 went 350k and was still running strong when I traded it into the dealership. This is basically a muscle car in the body of a full sized sedan.

Bought the car with 29K miles, full Ultimate package with digital dash instrumentation. Full options. Only service so far has been to have the AC compressor assembly replaced, had damage possibly from the road, all covered under factory warranty. Repair bill: $0. This car has tons of power and will haul butt down the road. The trunk is humongous, fit and finish are stellar, and the leather seats are so verrry comfy. Steering and suspension are great.

A big, stylish, power-everything cruiser, conservative but not primitive, this baby was just what the doctor ordered. It looks sedate but it hauls buns. The leather seats are total comfort. Controls logical and quite plentiful and they all have a nice quality and sure feel to them. Tons of features. Rides and handles like a dream. I've always wanted a car like this. 2 years old and a total cream puff, its price off the lot was less than a new Japanese anything, even less than a Ford Focus. V8 and rear wheel drive is where it's at. This isn't just a Grandpa car.

Recently relaced my 1995 Grand Marquis with a new one. The older one had 86000 miles on it yet was still going strong. I had been very happy with it so bought a new one. I always had liked the comfort it provided on the highway. Only problem I ever found was it smooths out the best around 80 mph, which the Texas Highway Patrol frowns on. It's a great vehivle to drive though and nearly as confortable as a Lincoln with the leather seats I have in my new model. Hope Ford keeps up the good work. I'll be looking for another one in 4 or 5 years.

This is an automobile that would make a road hogging grouch tame and dosile. The ride, fuel economy (just off trip FL to WV - 29.7 MPG). This car rides and performs like it's big brother the Lincoln. Only difference between the two are that you could own his and hers for the same price as the big brother. I only hope they never quit making the Grand Marquis.
