  Happy Grand Marquis owner - 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Joseph E. Gamache - July 24 - 2:00 am

  This is my 3rd Grand Marquis and the 03 is the best! I appreciate the big trunk, rear air suspension, and very good mileage for a car this size. I am 76 yrs old and drive to Florida each January. I am not tired at the end of each days travel. Dependability has been excellent.

  Dont buy one that shakes - 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By William Dennison - June 28 - 7:40 am

  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.

  Best American car money can buy - 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Zhe Kong - June 15 - 8:16 am

  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.

  2004 Grand Marquis Ultimate - 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Paul C. Pistone - May 18 - 10:30 pm

  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.

  By myrna williams - April 13 - 10:00 am

  Pride of ownership comfort quite ride with very little wind noise and no mechanical noise will probably install a tackonometer so i can tell when engine is running I really enjoy the car and the dealer has gone out of her way to please.maybe because the dealer manager is a real pleasant person and a true LADY.

  Best car for the money - 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By William Dimm - April 8 - 10:00 am

  This car is a solid dependable sedan that delivers good mileage in comfort and safety. Its 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!!

  the last one of 6 - 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By bernie moon - March 25 - 4:16 am

  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 hasnt changed in over 12 years, still doesnt have them.

  Old school - 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By RMO - March 16 - 6:14 pm

  Great Value. Resale value is low but that is good for buyers looking for dependable transportation. Electronic temperature controls can be expensive to fix. Great car for the money. This thing is just as comfortable as when it was new, runs just as smoothly as well. Ill take another one.

  Owner - 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Howard Mattison - December 19 - 9:53 pm

  This is my fourth Grand Marque starting with a 1984. I have always enjoyed driving them and have never had any serious trouble. For a large car the gas mileage is very good. Gets 21 in town and 28 on the highway. Good dealer to deal with and good service at dealer.
