Have to trade! - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Jim - January 27 - 2:10 amIve had this car for nearly 3 years and love it..Very comfortable ride and great hwy. mileage (25 mpg). Only bad thing is town mileage is 12 mpg. The only thing that has gone wrong with this unit is the heater fan went out. With the leather interior its very similiar to the Lincoln..body mounted on same platform. Purchased this car for $9,000 less than same year Lincoln. If youre looking for a large comfortable car with great hwy. mileage you wont find better in this price range....Now the sad note....I have to purchase an Expedition 4x4 for my business and we all know what kind of mileage they get.

Its a toss up - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Big Car Lover - December 11 - 7:46 pmI want to make a few comparisons between this and my 94 Gran Marquis. Same: Road/Wind noise is too high, especially the windshield when its raining. Odd huh? Suspensions: The 02 is MUCH stiffer than the old boat-like ride the 94 has. This would be personal preference for which is better. To me, the 94 is better for highway cruising. Interior: 02 is more stylish, but some of the items seem to be of cheaper material. I like the 94s button layout better. Exterior: 02 a bit sportier looking but I prefer the rims on the 94. 02s are very generic looking to me. Other stuff: Give me a real antenna! The built in one for the 02 just doesnt pick up the signal as well!

My second Grad Marq- 7 year of changes - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Stiltonjim - August 16 - 10:00 amMy new 2002 GS Conv is second to 95. NO BETTER VALUE. Interesting to see changes over years, adding anti-lock brakes, drivers power lumbar, cornering lamps, keyless entry (part of conv group and includes moveable pedals), bigger battery, improved AC, front reading lamps, but removed illuminated front door "lamp reflectors" (side of door when you open door, replaced by reflectors), reduced gas tank (21 to 19), deleted trunk toplid carpeting and glove compartment damper (it just falls now, instead of a soft opening), return of locking gas lid (95 had it, but eliminated through 01 and returned in 02), removal of a separate trunk key and locking trunk remote release.

Safe, Secure & Comfortable - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
By DMStickling - July 28 - 5:23 amI had a 1985 Grand Marquis LS and it was great until a 16 year old drunk driver smashed into the drivers side at over 50 mph. The car was totaled, my life was saved. I now own a 2002 Grand Marquis LS Ultimate, purchased new, and I couldnt be more satisfied with an auto. Gas mileage in town is 21 and on the hwy its 26, great for a huge engine like the Grand Marquis sports. I feel so safe and comfortable in this car. I just wish the newer models had the same comfortable headrests that my 2002 has in place. I have 90,000 miles on the odometer and the car still drives like it did when it was brand new...still looks great too! A tremendous car for the money!!

Unhappy warrior - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Mishmash - May 18 - 2:00 amCompared to my prior 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis LS, my 2002 has a poorer ride quality and far poorer gas mileage. My 95 got 28 mpg on the highway and over 20 mpg around town. My 2002 gets 16 mpg. My 2002 downshifts going up the slightest grade, and my dealer can do nothing about it..."Its controlled by the electronic engine module".

Dons 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
By dlpeters - April 30 - 2:00 amGreat car. Great styling and everything that you get in a Lincoln for $15000 less. Compares most favorably with Buick, Olds, Pontiac and Chrysler. I would buy another with no hesitation.

Why buy anything else - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Bob Mac - February 23 - 2:00 amThis is the second Grand Marquis I have owned in the last three years and I am amazed that everyone doesnt drive one. I have found the cars to be the best value on the highway today. With Mobil 1 in the crankcase the engine performs flawlessly producing approximately 19 MPG in town driving and 24 Highway. I am a REALTOR and have spent $0 in repairs and at 63" I am able to transport 5 other adults around in relative comfort. Please do not Europianize this American Icon. I have no need for an uncomfortable sedan that has a skidpad rating of .9.

But I dont feel like a Grandpa!! - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Chuck801 - September 3 - 10:00 amWhich is a good thing since Im only 45. There just comes a time in every mans life when he gets tired of those small, 4 passenger, no power cars. When youre ready for something bigger with some major power, the GM is it. Truth be told I really wanted a DeVille, but for a little more than half the price I got the same style, roominess, comfort and POWER! OK maybe it doesnt have the GPS. A real man wouldnt use that anyway. When youre ready to give up on those toy(ota) cars and step up to some style, check out the Grand Marquis. For the first time in 15 years, Im not embarrassed to offer to drive.

Good Car that Could Be Better - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Roy - August 21 - 6:43 pmMy experience with FoMoCo products is that they are good ideas poorly executed. My Mercury is a case in point. While perfect for people looking for a traditional RWD sedan that owns the road, this car lacks the solidarity and reliability its predecessors possessed. It handles well for its size in braking, acceleration, and cornering. It also is a good ride on the highway. But dont expect too much from it. The engine has mounds of torque but is noisy when pressed. The engine is a great performer, but you got to go light on the gas unless you (a) can afford speeding tickets and (b) are related to a Saudi prince and have inherited your own private oil well.
