  This vehicle is 7 months old and I have problems with radiator, all four tires cracked and need replacing, glur trim is coming off of the side of the car. I took out special warranty policy which has not been totally honored by the local dealer. 2 dealers refuse to honor Ford warranty.

  Reliable if not exciting - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Keith - February 20 - 9:30 am

  We have had eight Grand Marquis since the mid-eighties. I can honestly say that they have served us well with most of them getting 120000 before trading. Our current 2005 has 140000 with minimal problems, electrical control module and catylic converter. We get 22 mpg on two lane roads and up to 27 on long trips.This is not a flashy car but it is comfortable and reliable.

  By ed smith - September 30 - 11:26 am

  Great, comfortable,ride. Gas economy lacking. Interior design needs work. Smartly styled exterior. Although, having driven rear wheel dr. for years, last 5 cars have had front dr.. I think I prefer front dr..

  Dons Grand Marquis - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By 2005 Mercury Grand M - April 3 - 11:33 pm

  This vehicle was purchased to replace a 2000 Ford Crown Victoria. The Ford had 54000 miles on it when I replaced it. It was a good car, but, it was time to get a new one. This Mercury seems to be smoother, snappier and more economical than the Ford. I use these cars for primarily trips over the highway at high speeds for long distances. This is # 4 vehicle in my family and the one I prefer driving myself. Im 68 years old and take many long trips out of state.

  Tried and True... Still The Best! - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Joel Nazaretian - January 15 - 5:00 am

  I am only 35 years old, and grew up in a household that always had a Lincoln. My father was a Master Mechanic who always stated Fords were build the best, so I may be a bit biased. However, I buy a vehicle based on styling and ride quality. Years of reading all the reports that state front wheel drive and imports are best, I still prefer a domestic, body on frame, rear wheel drive configuration over anything. The ride is SUPERIOR, and CANNOT be duplicated in a unitized body, front wheel drive car, PERIOD! So everyone can laugh all they want at my Grandpa Car, or Police Car, including the yuppies passing me in their Bimmers who think they drive a far superior and advanced car.

  Mostly Satisfied Owner - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By kurt gaus - September 7 - 11:30 am

  A nice large, comfortable, well styled sedan without a lot of high tech junk added on to confuse you while driving. It feels solid, secure, stable, and is a pleasure to drive on longer trips. Easy entry and egress for those with medical problems. Trunk is huge and deep, but the liftover height is too high. The spare tire is far back and hard to reach. Mileage is much better than I expected for this size and weight vehicle. Car starts and runs flawlessly in all kinds of weather. I also test drove a Lincoln Town Car and could not discern any difference, except in the substantially higher price fot the Town Car. See "Suggested Improvements" section for minor complaints and suggestions.

  new one - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By caprice refugee - August 12 - 2:36 pm

  Cushy ride, but not wallowing. Drives like the old Caprice Classic it replaced, though the Caprice Classic seemed more powerful. Nice car, though obviously not exciting or impressive to others -- until they understand how much car we got for how little money. Best value on the road, probably. We expect it to last a dozen years. Maybe longer than we will!

  We love this car - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By slosbelm - June 17 - 6:33 am

  We find the exhaust makes somewhat of a rumbling noise more so than our previous 2000 vehicle. We experience less outside noise than the previous car. The ride is quite smooth although rough roads have a little bumpiness to the ride but certainly within acceptable limits. The compass over the rear view mirror has saved many tempers and the garage door opener is very handy. The leather seats are very nice but take a little getting used to. We would reccommend this vehicle especially for distance driving.
