    Purchased 12-2002 as a program car. No major defects, except battery died and was replaced under mfg. warranty. Nice ride for trips, averaging 21.4 mpg. with 60/40 mix of hiway/city driving.Have yet to go on long trip, but look forward to it.

  • Value for the Dollar - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
    By -

    After much shopping around looking at comparitable cars, I chose the Grand Marquis because of its size, V8 engine, and rear wheel drive. This car was thousands cheaper than comparable cars with the same equipment and platform. The car has plenty of smooth, quiet power coupled with a turnpike ride that suits my tastes. While it doesnt shine in fuel economy, it still gets much better milage than a 64 Dodge Dart I had with a 273 V8. Overall; I think the Grand Marquies and the Ford Crown Victoria are two of the best values for full size cars in todays market.

    By -

    This is the third Grand Marquis that Ive owned. The reason... I cant find another auto that comes close to delivering the bang for my buck. The engine is strong and the Premium ride is that of a Town Car, of which I possess as well. Solid built, comfortable ride, dependable and not to mention big enough to sit across from another person without rubbing shoulders. Paul

  • Seat Belt Problem - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
    By -

    I like the car in every way. It gets 19 mpg city/hwy. One can only sit on 3/4 of the front seats as the seat belt receptor is solid and sticks up through the seat. It can not be moved. Without that seat belt reception problem, one could sit in the middle of the seat and get support on the right side of the cushion. As it is one sits on the left side support and middle of seat: extremely uncomfortable. It would be ok for a small person, i.e., 100 pounds or less could sit in middle.

  • room for six - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
    By -

    dumped 95 sse pontiac for a car that could hold 2 extra people for trips to town etc.,(bucket seats are for college kids- not FAMILY cars) and could never bring myself to buy a top- selling Asian car with no trunk or interior capacity, and front wheel drive durability inconsistencies, and wound up with the only option available that wasnt MEGA- Bucks,foreign, or a glorified station wagon (aka SUV). True more people would look at us if we had 23s, or full-fledge aero kits, flip down DVDs,etc. Oh well, the price you must pay if your wife tilts the scales at 300+, your kids pack enough junk for a weekend trip for a whole summer camp, and you have a lead foot that eats CV joints for breakfast

    Excellent highway cruiser/with good fuel economy. Drove to FLA last summer (12 hour run) and did not feel beat when we arrived. Not a young persons car, but ideal for 50 and older crowd.

  • Its a toss up - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
    By -

    I 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!

    Compared 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".
