  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.

  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!

  Recently purchased Grand Marquis. The vehicle has many options which make driving it a pleasure (pedal adjustment, traction control, power seats, lumbar support, stereo adjusts for vehicle speed, etc). Trunk is large. Ride is great. Purchased all required maintenance for next 75,000 miles along with 75,000 mile warranty. No checks to write at dealership for maintenance or problems.

  Lots more punch - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By sedan - April 22 - 12:30 am

  Having owned 2000 Marquis the 2006 has lot more acelaration. Gets out good. The major complaint is very little storage space in the front.

  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.

  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".

  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.
