  Excellent Buy - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By J Armenta - May 5 - 9:53 am

  Have driven this for over 42000 miles and this vehicle has given me pure satisfaction. Although it could have a bit more power, it still delivers on average of 23 mpg. Not bad for its size. Got 27 mpg on the last trip to Michigan, very comfortable to travel in as well.

  Best Value Around! - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Jay657 - April 19 - 4:40 am

  I am 26 yrs old and I love this car! Its black with black with black heated leather, moonroof, digital dash, rear air shocks. I had a 99 DeVille which was a horrible disappointment. I love the RWD v.s the clumsy FWD DeVille. It handles awesome for a big car. Has enough power, but could use a dual exhaust for a little more. I put dark tinted headlight and corner lenses from the 03-04 Marauder on the Marquis and they look great with the chrome grille. I get compliments where ever I go. These big RWD sedans are getting hard to find, so I am taking extra good care of this one and plan to keep it for a good 5 to 7 years.

  Easy front seat access - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Ron - March 16 - 4:33 am

  The front passenger seat is easy to enter and exit. This is the main thing I was looking for, since my wife has a physical handicap. The front doors are high and wide, and hip and head room are excellent. The front bench seat, without a console, is a plus, for the extra legroom. The leather power seats help getting in and out. I had considered a van for front seat access, but this cars front seat dimensions were almost as good.

  GS Convenience with 2 tone package - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By GS Convenience - February 20 - 2:30 am

  Ive now owned this car for 5 months and love it. It is a very quiet, comfortable car and rides like a Town Car. My 2 tone package came with nice extras such as a hood ornament, brushed aluminum scuff plates that say Grand Marquis, the Mercury emblem debossed in the two toned leather seatbacks and body color door handles. The car seems rock solid and has decent fuel mileage for the all city driving I do (19- 20mpg). It handles like a much smaller car but has the big car ride without being floaty or wallowy. It is also quite a bargain for a full size car with a V8 engine. Id recommend it to those of any age. Im not a grandpa even though the car might be considered a "grandpa car".

  Last of the freeway cruisers - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Bill Love - January 17 - 12:03 am

  We bought this car for comfort and quietness on medium to long trips. Great value here with all the options available for under $29,000.00 including CA sales tax and registration. Mileage on the open road at 75 mph is consistently 25 mpg. Around town figure 16 while in the hills where I live a rather dismal 13. Could not be happier with this purchase and so far not a hint of any problems. Getting the Grand Marquis loaded is the key and takes the vehicle into a luxury class.

  Grand Marquis Ultimate - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By TerryAlan - August 12 - 6:40 pm

  Great car for the money. Mercury is dealing and able to get a large car for the price of a midsize. Smooth riding and quiet. Certainly a better ride and more comfortable than either a Pontiac Bonneville or Buick Park Avenue (owned both).

  Marquis GS Limited - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Gary L. Carey - July 4 - 2:36 pm

  The GS Limited gives a great ride and is a very comfortable car to drive. In the north where we live, the traction control is a very important feature in rainy conditions. We have yet to drive in snowy conditions.The seating is very comfortable and the electric lumbar is fantastic as the wife and I have different requirements. The mpg rating is not very good but we have very few miles as yet so we expect this to improve. The size does create some problems parking, but can be overcome. The steering is excellant and has fast responce. Excelleration is good and the braking is excellant. Interior cabin design is easy to adjust to and is very roomy & comfortable. Trunk size is a plus.

  Terrible Ride - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By carb711 - June 20 - 8:13 pm

  I bought this car new, after having test driven one and renting one for a week. They were fine. Mechanically this car is great. However, the ride quality has been slowly deteriorating ever since day one. The amount of wind noise makes normal conversation difficult. Rear passengers almost need a kidney belt due to the stiff ride. The dealership says both problems are normal. How do they justify that it keeps getting worse then. I had beaters in college that rode better. Ive owned one in the past and also own a Mercury Cougar. Neither had these problems. Going out shopping this week for a Toyota and Im sure Ill get poor trade in value.

  Okay buy - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Mike Stevenson - June 4 - 4:36 am

  I always thought that the japanese made a better car but took a chance with Mercury. The Mercury has a good ride and leather but handles horribly, gets 15 MPG, and is bad quallity. I had one mechanical problem after 28,000 and thats all.

  Interstate Traveler - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Road Warrior - February 16 - 4:16 pm

  Ive had this Mercury about 30 days, we just got back from a trip. It was a very nice highway traveler. It got decent mileage (24 MPG). It has a lot of safety features for the money!!!
