  Oldie, but Goodie - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Jay - June 13 - 2:33 am

  Im a 26 year old male and I prefer the "old Fashion" rear-wheel-drive and body-on-frame construction. The car feels solid, powerful, and comfortable. RWD with traction control does well on slick roads during Buffalo, NY winters. I plan on keeping this car for atleast 5 years or more. My only fear is that they will stop making them.

  Quality Lacking - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Phil Little - January 1 - 12:33 pm

  This is my umpteenth Ford product that I have purchased new since 1962. The car performs well, but has a very annoying squeak in the front suspension that the service department hasnt been able to locate and repair. It would appear that quality was not number one the day my car was built. I like the ride, the looks of the car, and am happy with the gas mileage which is in keeping with the original sticker quote. My 2004 Marquis was a better built vehicle.

  Love my Mercury - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Love my Mercury - June 28 - 7:26 am

  This car is hands down the best value for the money on the road. With the rebates and incentives, you can have full size American comfort at a Honda Civic price. The Marquis is powerful, handles and brakes well, and at only 1400 miles, is already getting 22 mpg in combined city and highway driving. The power pedals are a great feature, as is the power lumbar support. I really like the variable assist steering- one finger easy in town, and lots of road feel at highway speeds. The traditional body-on-frame construction seems very solid. I feel safe in this car, which is something I never felt in smaller front-drive cars. Im a Realtor, and my clients often mistake this car for a Lincoln.

  By Broadus - May 7 - 8:16 pm

  Ive owned many cars. The Mecury Grand Marquis is a great car for the price. Although not a car for everyone, for long distance driving its comfort, speed and handling suits me.

  RADIO ANTENA - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By A. BUYER - April 13 - 3:10 am

  MERCURY HAS TAKEN A VERY BEAUTIFUL CAR THAT ALWAYS HAS HAD STYLE (MERCURY OWNER SINCE 1986) AND MADE IT A SECOND CLASS CAR BY PUTTING THAT "CHEAP" ANTENNA ON THE OUTSIDE!!!!!(REAR FENDER) IF IT MUST GO ON THE OUTSIDE MAKE IT A POWER ANTENNA!

  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..
