  Never again! - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Sozo - May 23 - 5:30 pm

  Our new 93LS would put this 05 to shame. I thought theyd make the car better, not worse. Too much wind noise (mirrors & windshield) and a noisy low speed fan. The engine, transmission and exhaust noise is a total disappointment. The dealer said they now use thinner windows. But besides the overall cheap feel of the car we ended up with steel wheels that are “out of round”. Yep, shaped like an egg with the vibration and road noise to go with them. I spent my life in the tire business and know tires and wheels. The dealer replaced one wheel but it looks like it will take an act of Congress to get the rest taken care of. With 7,000 miles we’re stuck. My wifes Corolla is a much better car.

  A Mercury or a Kia? - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Steven.W. Farell - October 30 - 6:20 am

  this car works like a Kia! Everything is cheap! The ride is jiggilly, the seats are to soft, There is fake wood, the v8 engine doesnt have enough power because it only has 224 HP, The radio and cd player are cheap. this car has very fine leather and is good in bad weather. In 47,000 miles I have had no mechanical problems.

  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.
