  • Bad car - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
    By -

    This car is junk! This car has terrible brakes and wheels. The car rattles so much. The leather is cheap and there is no leg room. This car is outdated! The engine is a V8 with only about 225 HP. Cheap! Everything in this car is a piece of junk! Cheap! Cheap! Cheap! Well, its good if you play bingo This car eats gas for terrible pickup. I recomend this car to teens, not adults with families.

  • Peace of Mercury/ Ford junk - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
    By -

    This piece of junk handles horribly and has horrible gas miles. Why cant Ford start making some cars not cruises. I also own a Toyota Avalon which is ten times better. The Mercury takes 9.7 seconds to get from o-60 with a v8 engine with 224 HP and the Avalon takes 8.5 seconds with a v6 engine with 210 HP. If you want a big boat go Linclon, Toyota, Lexus, or Acura. This car has been in the shop ever 40,000 miles. It has mainly been in the shop for electric problems and loud radding. Go Toyota Boo Ford!

  • Cushy gas hog has issues - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
    By -

    We were so excited to get into this buttery ride only to have our Marquis buzz killed when the fuel pump went out at 47,000 miles after only having it a month & one 400 mile trip under our belts. Another surprise was the terrible city mileage, much lower than the stated 17 mpg, around 10 mpg. Highway ok w/25 mpg. As Ive seen mentioned I have to agree the lack of a center console leaves one stuffing everything into the paltry pockets given in the front seats or on the floor. So despite the wonderful smooth ride the overall economy leaves me wishing wed shelled out for a Camry etc. PS.Loaner car during fuel pump was a Sable 05. It was a gas hog also (15mph?!). Ford/Mercury needs to wake up

  • Priceing - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis

    Great car for the money, but would hesitate buying a nother one because of changing rebate dollar amounts. 30 days after my purchase additional $1,000 was offered. I lost my sense of true value for this car.

  • Good Car that Could Be Better - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
    By -

    My 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.
