  LOVE IT - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By RJDomke - November 6 - 10:20 am

  Better ride then Cadillac, or Pontiac. I rented one in Chicago during a winter fly in. I loved the feel and felt safe inside on the icy roads.

  Amazing Value - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By JP - June 10 - 11:56 pm

  This is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. It is quiet, smooth and suprisingly agile for its size. The level of equipment for the price and size of the car is exceptional. I would buy another without hesitation.

  Great Car - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Dwight - October 15 - 4:56 pm

  I bought this car new, enjoyed it very much. Has 60,000 miles, 23 average mpg, better on trips. I think its a quiet car overall, the only thing I dont like is a start up engine knock but its been doing that all the time and I lost a center hub cap. The car runs great, plenty of power for me, good ride.

  2005 Grand Marquis ultimate edition - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By PAUL COUGHLIN - February 5 - 6:30 am

  After two trips to dealer for oil chg/filt. I have had no issues re: Quality or driveability. Vehicle is a pleasure to drive on hwy and secondary roads. It is responsive and as dependable as i expected it to be. I have experienced better than 20 mpg in local town traffic and expect high 20s on highway. It gives a ride that is incredibly smooth and quiet, but firm on curves etc. All systems satisfactory so far.

  Solid, Reliable - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By barber - November 8 - 7:36 pm

  A lot of car for the money, this replaced my 1993 Cad SDV. I find it quieter and quicker. This car is for people looking for substance over flash. Its a great car for people in my age group (50+). Very comfortable and roomy for four adults with abundant trunk room for their luggage. The only negative is the door over the gas cap - it doesnt lock, nor is there a locking gas cap available for the new design.

  Big and beautiful - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By PWILLIAMS - November 30 - 7:30 pm

  Love comfort and trunk space. Antenna should be in windshield. No space to store "stuff", cell phone, cds, etc. Lousy, lousy interior noise-at interstate speeds the noise is very annoying. Great mileage considering size of car. No problems to report other than lousy interior noise. Two Ford dealers have been given opportunity to correct noise problem--both have failed, in fact, I dont think they knew how to fix problem. Will not consider buying another Mercury or Ford product until noise levels have drasticall been improved. One dealer told me the Michelin tires could be the culprit. Pay $700 to $800 for new tires and problem could be resolved. Should have bought Honda or Toyota

  Highly Pleased - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By CHIGS - October 11 - 7:06 am

  The Grand Marquis is a great experience. It has great acceleration and will pass anything on the highway while riding in luxury. I bought it because my wife, son and myself drive to our vacations and there is plenty room for luggage, a cooler in the trunk. My son sits in the back seat with his portable DVD player, toys, pillows and blankets with plenty of room to spare. last year we got 25 mpg on the highway with the car loaded.

  Probably good for another 200,000 miles - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Chris - July 6 - 9:43 pm

  What more could I ask for? I dont want all the techno crap and I dont want to bump my elbow every other minute, which I seem to do in smaller cars. Granted, the cupholder is only just usable and the car could use a bit more storage in the front seat area. But you know what-I like every other aspect of this car just fine. I like its heft without being too hefty and I like how it moves. The rack and pinion steering is precise and the air suspension is great without totally isolating you from road feel. Leather, air ride, quality construction and a good stereo. For what I paid for a virtually new car with only 22K miles, I could never get a better deal.

  The name says it all GRAND MARQUIS - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Laura - May 21 - 11:50 pm

  This car is absolutely fabulous it rides awsome smooth as silk and quiet as they come its like riding on a cloud compared to my 01 Avalon which i traded in on this this Mercury is the best i love it the engine has great pick up it can it to 85 in about 8.5 seconds when you really floor it and i like the way when you floor it pushes you back in the seat and speaking about seats the are extra large and as comfortable as a pillow on this car is great on long trips and i love the overhead console and lights in the back seat they come in handy when you have passengers who like to read on long trips at night and i love that beautiful wood grain and chrome door handles they look great....
