A real disapointment - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Log01 - June 14 - 11:40 amI have one good thing to say about the car it does get pretty good gas mileage, I get 19 in town and 28 on the Highway. Other than that its a real disapointment. Road noise is excessive. The interior is cheap, the passengers seat rattles, it sounds line the window arent all rolled up. We wont even go into the ash tray/cup holder pain in the shorts. The passengers in the back see cant see around the head rests, not confortable on long trips, poor real leg room. If you open the trunk lid in the rain the water off the trunk lid drips into the truck. The car is lacks power for a v8. I dont like the car and would like to trade it, but with only 8 thousand miles on it it has lost $20K value

G-Man loves his Grand Marquis - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Mercury Man - September 3 - 2:33 amI bought this car for my 40th birthday. It had 76,000 miles on the odometer. And the car was in PERFECT condition. As a Dad with 3 kids in the house, safety is number one. I paid $6,500 FOR THE CAR AND HAVE CONSIDERED THIS CAR THE BEST i HAVE EVER OWNED. It isnt the prettiest. But, I KNOW I could put 200,000 miles on this car. I just put a new set of Goodyear Eagle GTs on this car and it handles great. And for the harshe winters here in southern Michiagan, the car is exceptional.

Grand Marquis 2005 Body Change - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Everette B. Brown, S - October 15 - 4:00 pmWe are very unhappy with the design of the 2005 Grand Marquis. There is a lot of road noise and wind noise around the windows. The ride is not nearly as comfortable as the older models. We have a 98 that is much more comfortable and has less road and wind noise than the 2005. We will not purchase another New Mercury Grand Marquis until some major changes have been made. We are hoping the Ford Motor Co. will buy this vehicle back and allow us to purchase another Vehicle. We travel back and forth to see our grandchildren and the 2005 makes it a very long 350 miles. The 2005 has been in the shop for window change out, it goes back in the shop for loose molding and for horn repair.
