Got this car used in 2012 with only 24,300 miles on it. Had an older Lexus GS300 prior to this. So far I really like the Panther platform. I have replaced one fuel pump; otherwise, no driveability issues. Electronic Climate Control was out, which I fixed myself with an aftermarket part. Cruise control was out, and is still out; just haven't needed it. Factory CD player died, so replaced with a Pioneer unit. Fake chrome trim pieces were damaged so I replaced with store-bought new ones.

Full frame, V8 Rear Wheel Drive. The only configuration I'll ever own. Been driving Grand Marquis' and Town Cars for over thirty years, and that will be the same till I die. I work on my own cars and have never purchased new. These cars are rugged, reliable and cheap & easy to fix. That's why police departments, taxi companies and rental agencies chose this platform. Just bought this 2004 Ultimate sixteen months ago with 80K on it, and have not been disappointed. Got a documented 28MPG on a recent 600 mile trip. No doubt it will hold up like all my past FOMOCO cruisers. That means at least 15 more trouble free years in my possession. Batteries, tires and brakes are no "trouble".

Most under appreciated car on the road today. If your looking for a small neo- hippy car or a glitzy peacock vehicle don't look at the merc. but if you need a to hell and back in comfort and reliability you cannot look anywhere else. I do alot of highway driving and at 70 mph+ I average 31-33.5 mpg depending on AC usage. show me any v8 import lux sedan that gets that mpg and then compare price tags and reliability. this platform is something that should never be discontinued its a mark of American quality. I'm 31 and I get asked why I drive an old man car and I respond because old men know quality and don't have time for less.

I always love big cars because I like to get more for my money. I want buy a small car because they do not ride like the Grand Marquis. This car is the best car and everywhere I go people give me compliments on this car. It is very fancy also with a vinly top. Lincoln Town Car I really like but why should I pay more for the same car and motor. I'm a car expert and you are getting your money worth when you buy this car. I also on a Mercedes and a Jeep but they donot ride like the Grand Marquis. I believe every family should at least own one of these cars.

I purchased my very low mileage Grand Marquis almost 2 years ago as a cheap car just to go back and forth to work. I've since realized that this car is not a cheap car. It's very well constructed, Very reliable and gets excellent fuel mileage for it's size. I drive 66 miles to work a day and I'm 6'4" so I needed something comfortable and good on fuel....my truck was very thirsty so I bought this second car. I'm very glad I did now...I love the car and hardly ever drive my new truck anymore as a matter of fact I've only put 2000 miles on my truck in the last year....that's how much I enjoy driving this car.

This car is the 5th trouble free Ford product that I have bought. I paid $10,000 less than what a relative paid for a Toyata Camry. Never has been back to the dealer for repairs and the workmanship is great. On long runs with the cruise set and at 75 mph I have gotten 30 mph. The best thing I have to say is but American.

Bought GS with convenient package when Ford offered $6000 discount in July 2004 for $19,000 brand new including tax etc. Love it ever since. Silk smooth with the torque rich V8 and 4 speed automatic transmission. Rear wheel drive. No fishtailing thanks to modern traction control. Agile on the road thanks to the variable assist power steering. Very safe. Very reliable. Not even a recall. Regular gas. Respectful MPG (22+/-1) daily commutes through out the year with this 4K plus pound of steel. Besides oil change and a new set of tires, the maintenance fee is zero.

This car has vibrated and shook since purchased. The dealer says there is no Ford service bulletin, so there can be no problem. In fact, there is a service bulletin that the dealer apparently does not know about. I gave the dealer a copy of the bulletin and the car is still not fixed. This is the worst car I have ever owned. This car really lives up to what many people think the letters in Ford really represent.

I bought it to make highway trips, and that is what it excels at. I would not buy this for cruising around town. This car is built to do speed, and to have a sure foot on the highway, and it does with the right tires, not Michelin. It has aggressive gearing I like to get acceleration, and to be able to do 140 MPH. The ride is great and quiet on the highway, not the best, but up there. This is best bought as a Used vehicle since you get the best deal for the value. I only recommend the Ultimate edition, because this car is not worth the money without all the goodies. Plenty of room width-wise, no bumping elbows. Big trunk for all you luggage.

I have owned a 2003 model but I don't beleive it was a good as the 2004 I own now. The 2003 burnt up bearings in the rear wheel. Except for the bearing I have no complints about Grand Marquis. the 2003 had 50,000 miles on it when the bearings went bad. My 2004 has not given us any problems. it is very dependable. The gas mileage is great 25 to 28 miles a gal.

I'm really in my element driving a big, comfortable American-made sedan. I traded a 1995 Buick Roadmaster with more than 200,000 miles on a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis LS and after 10,000 miles, I find that my LS does everything well. It's big, comfortable, reliable, well-built and a pleasure to drive.

Ford has continued to cheapen up what used to be a great car. Top of the line LS model with load leveling and electronic-digital dash still suffers from seats with less support than a 95 LS I traded to get it. Wind noise is greater since Ford went to a thinner glass all around in 97. The Load leveling air pump used to be quiet as it was located under the trunk but is in the engine compartment now and it is incredibly noisy.I enjoy the illusion of feeling safer in a large car but I have been taken advantage of by Ford for the last time.Even though side air bags have been available for years,the Grand Marquis whose basic platform hasn't changed in over 12 years, still does'nt have them.

This Mercury is a Lincoln with a ten- thousand dollar discount! It is crisp in performance,tight in all the right places, the paint is flawless, the fuel economy ain't bad either! Wow....what a looker, and engine performance seems to have a hefty rocket under the hood. There is some road noise at highway speed, but Lincoln is a bit noisey too!

Traded a new Cadillac in on it. Mercury ride and quality put Cadillac to shame at less than half the price. Grand Marquis handles superbly, very agile and responsive. I love to drive it. Super smooth ride. Quiet interior. Great gas mileage: 29 hwy/20 city. I have owned Lincoln Towncars recently and like them also, but like the handling of the Mercury better.

Traded our old 1999 and 2003 Grand Marquis in for two new 2004's, one GS model (mine) and one LS model (wife's). Ride on 2003 was stiffer. I am a salesman and this is my fourth Grand Marquis. These cars are the best value on the road today for a large sedan. Good gas mileage, 2004's have a softer ride than 2003's. Mechanically my 1999 was one of the best cars I have ever owned over the past 35 years. Just trouble-free from the beginning and all through my ownership, remained quite with no rattles for 86000 miles. So far 2004's have not dissappointed us in any way, ride great and run like a Swiss watch.

After driving a Crown Vic switching to the Grand Marquis was an easy transition. Both are excellent, dependable vehicles and I really appreciate the additional features that come on the Grand Marquis Ultimate. I find the Grand Marquis LS Ultimate to have an incredibly smooth ride with the air suspension. The electronic dash display along with controls on the steering wheel for climate, cruise and sound system are awesome! The comfort is equal to that of the Lincoln Towncar at a much better price. The spacious passenger cabin and large trunk are excellent for taking road trips. Impressive 5 Star Safety ratings, Traction control, airbag systems and body design with steel reinforcement.

This is the first brand-new vehicle I've bought since 1982. The Special Edition package is what sets it apart from everything on the road, with the tutone Spruce Green and Gold Ash paint, as well as the badging and the hood ornament. The leather is totally comfortable, the ride is very smooth, and the car will take off like a bullet to get up with traffic. Trunk size is only matched by the Town Car, which means there's more than enough room to take six people and all the luggage they can bring. Gas Mileage averages between 25-30 on the highway, which makes for nonstop trips. 5 Star Crash ratings and Best in Quality by JD Power!

I call this car my "Little Lincoln". After enjoying the comfort and features of a Lincoln Town Car for 9 years, I did not think that I could find a car with all of the features of the Lincoln for around $25,000. I have been accustomed to space, comfort, and power when needed and 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis has all of that and more. For safety reasons I have always preferred to drive a big car. I am extremely pleased with the safety ratings on this car, including the addition of traction control and side air bags. Although I have only had this vehicle a few weeks I LOVE IT. It is fun to drive and I feel good in it. And I have received many compliments on my new car!

Best car for the money

This car is a solid dependable sedan that delivers good mileage in comfort and safety. It's the ideal car forthe older driver that understands the importance of having a roomy, easy to handle car that has enough pep to enable one to drive confidently on the high speed interstate highways, with agood solid feel to the ride. I hope that Ford continues its policy of making this car with few year to year changes, using proven components and systems. It results in a dependable car at a relatively low price!!

Ford's best kept secret, the Grand Marquis. Ford did an upgrade of the steering and suspension in 2003 adding variable rack and pinion steering and a new "boxed" frame, they already have a "watts link" rear suspension. They come with big 4 wheel duel piston anti lock disc's, and "traction control". And 225/60/16 Michelins for tires. Ford does not advertise these cars much, but if you look, what you will find is that they share many main components with the new F-150 truck. The 4.6 V8 engine, the same 4-speed auto transmission, and the same solid axle rear end. They are built like a truck and drive like a Jaguar and sold at a Camry price.

I have put about 15000 miles on it and have enjoyed driving it. It is roomy and comfortable, I am a big guy (6'2" and 240lbs)and it fits me!! It handles great with the good old fashioned feel of the big rear wheel drive V8. I had forgotten the nice low rumble of the V8.

Just picked it up a couple of days ago, Took a bit to get used to the light touch steering. Enjoying the room and the ride. Can't wait to take it on a long trip...very comfortable, still a good looking car! Suprised at the lack of extras in the interior, really sparse..my 2 year old Sable had many more interior features and was better appointed inside. Looks like there was a big giveup by buying the convenience model vs. the limited. lousy cup holders and nothing automatic in front..all manual..oh well! it's still a very good value and I don't mind since I saved about 5 grand over a Japanese model......I will enjoy the room and the ride..

Have driven a 92 GM LS for many years and fond it to be an outstanding car. Used it to pull my boat from CA to TX and to lakes and the ocean. Power was great never had a problem. Was thinking about a 2005 Chrysler 300 but with out a V8 it was noisy and not powerful. Discovered the GS Special and bought it. I have only had it a few days but it is responsive and with the special paint and tone leather it is a head turner. On guy asked me if it was a new Lexis and I told him it was a Mercury and he didn't want to believe me. Have driven it about 500 miles and know that it is going to be a great car for me and my family. James

This is the automobile for the person who wants a large comfortable car with power, comfort, and will not require a second mortgage on the house. An agile handling car in town and a smooth, quiet, riding car on the highway, this car provides the space and versatility of a large car with the ease of handling of a medium sized automoblile. Quick off the line and powerful enough to pass most of its competition, it gives confidence to it's driver. I have had no reliablity problems and will continue to buy future models if Mercury stays on its present course. Highly recommended.

Previous cars were also Grand Marquis'. This car has much more "pep" than the 93 and 98. However, the ride is not nearly as comfortable as the previous two. I even took the car back with less than 100 miles on it to have the dealer check to see if they had mistakenly put a ride and handling package on this car. The said it was the standard suspension. I like the looks of the car and the performance of the engine, but if I were to do it all over, I might just go ahead and buy the Lincoln Town Car just for a more acceptable comfortable ride.

For a car this big I think that is great milage. The ride is wonderful. It manuevers easily in traffic. I would not get on an Interstate in any other car. I feel perfactely safe and secure in it. If I buy another car it will be another Grand Marquies.

In 2000 I bought a Ford Expedition. I was looking to trade in my 1998 Lincoln for a 2004 Lincoln. The Dealers in my area would not give me the NADA or Kelly Blue Book Wholesale or trade in price.

Lots of "bang for the buck". Commpare the Grand Marquis to models like the Toyota Avalon? Avalon's price approaches 30k but a Grand Marquis can be had for between 21 and 23k . Then compare the price of repair parts and there is a huge difference. (The GM being far less expensive to repair, of course)

A mafia trunk, chunky wheels and a bad a** v-8 engine. What more could you ask for...? Rear wheel drive? Traction control? Leather? ABS Breaks? It's all there in the Grand Marquis. This car is like a rocket off the line, turn off the Traction cntrl and have some fun :) This car is surprisingly smooth and easy to handle. I went from a 99' Galant to this land boat and it handles like an overgrown German sedan. With the variable steering, cruise contrl, and that luscious suspension system one can't help but feel like they are commanding a vessel made for crusing.

Purchase was a pleasant experience. The comfort of long distance drives is worth every penny of cost. Previously drove a Chrysler Concorde...the comfort of a long distance is evident, when getting to my destination, I can exit the vehicle and not feel like a crumpled crippled non-human entity. The wide stance of the chasis gives a very smooth ride......I have been pleasantly suprised each and every day that I own and drive this car.

Owned a "97" LS. The 2003 is far superior in all areas, especially steering and ride. Fuel mileage on local driving is 20 to 21. Open highway is 28-29 with A/C on. Not bad for a car this size and weight. Self leveling is a plus.

This has been a wonderful experiance so far. When I bought the car I needed the larger space that this car provides. I never thought that I would be getting a Towncar only $15000 less. Forget your front wheel drive and get back to what a car should feel like when you drive it.

What a great car!

This is by far the most comfortable car I have driven in a long time. The ride is soft, but not flouncy and it handles wonderfully. I just returned from a 6.5 hour drive and I was not tired after it like I usually would be. Not only that, but I averaged 25.7 mpg over 3 tanks! My mileage on it hit 26.1 once - and on a V8! I should have bought this long ago. My only criticism? The brakes are a little squishy and the AM radio sound is pretty muffled. I'll live with it.

One of the best I've owned

Largest car we've bought in several years. The ride is smooth and quiet. Instruments are easy to read, especially at night, and controls are conveniently located within easy reach of the driver.

I love this car. It is a true luxury car and priced about $10,000 cheaper than its twin, the Lincoln Towne Car. I had never owned a Mercury and the first time I drove it, I was sold. The ride and the spacious interior make up for the fact that the gas mileage is not great. The car is equipped with things like lumbar seats, heated seats and mirrors,programmable garage door opener, and an enormous trunk. It steers almost effortlessly.
