Overview & Reviews
In an effort to generate interest in what seems to be a dying brand, Mercury takes a page out of a decade-old Chevrolet playbook and paints a Grand Marquis Amish-black, bolts on 18-inch wheels and stuffs a 300-horse V8 under the hood. The result is surprisingly appealing.
- Beefy horsepower figures, all-American attitude.
- Needs more low-end punch, no independent rear suspension.

Get a Clue - 2003 Mercury Marauder
By Bob R Turbo - June 2 - 2:00 amAnyone who dislikes this vehicle, probably works for another manufacturer, or is afraid that their precious Impala is going to lose a ton of value (which it will). Why would someone sell this vehicle, after finding out it only comes in black? Low ratings on this board equal that persons PANIC. Gorgeous looks and super comfortable. Whats not to like.

Almost perfect - 2003 Mercury Marauder
By Kpz1234 - May 23 - 1:30 amAs a former police officer, I knew what I was getting into when I bought this car. Its exactly like the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor - except its in all black, has leather seats and upgrade gauges, and has the 01 Cobra 4.6 stuffed under the hood. Half of the people look at it because its cool, the other half think its the cops.

WELL RESTED PORSCHE - 2003 Mercury Marauder
By Mr.Merc - March 23 - 2:00 amSince I bought the Maurader, Ive driven my Porsche twice! It is certainly a throwback to the sixties.The amazing apect of ownership is the wide range of admirers. My 80 year old aunts love to ride in the "roomy" back seat , and the teens everywhere give "thumbs up" . The exhaust sound is great,the ride is comfortable , and the styling is neat.

Hot Rod with a Warranty - 2003 Mercury Marauder
By ROB502 - November 11 - 3:53 amLove it I get comments all the time. People want to know did it come like that from the factory. The car was not advertised very well so lots of people dont even know what it is. It is comfortable fun to drive and gets 20mpg city and 25 on the highway.

Exactly What the Doctor Ordered! - 2003 Mercury Marauder
By Dan Berger - November 1 - 10:00 amIve been in law enforcement for 28 years, attended all the high-speed police driving courses -- Im even a certified anti-terrorist driving instructor. I wanted exactly what the Marauder is: understated, beautiful, powerful, and comfortable. This one is a real head-turner! I simply added tint and a CD changer. It rides like a Lincoln on steroids with a real suspension; corners like it means business. But please dont buy one! I like being the sole owner in my area of such a fine piece of American automotive engineering!

Great buy and wont sell it! - 2003 Mercury Marauder
By Bill Christ - September 29 - 2:50 pmFound my 03 Marauder unsold in dealers lot September 07 with 170 KM on it. Bought it $20K less than sticker price. Regretted buying but found I never will sell it. Even my wife loves to drive it! Gas mileage is not good, but in third year of ownership, all I worry about is regular maintenance - no problems. I stupidly installed new snow tires on 17" rims -- my Marauder is running at higher RPMs to run the smaller tirees and the traction control must be turned to off after 40 MPG with the smaller 17" tires, but with snows, I go EVERYWHERE in our Minnesota winter -- I love the my Marauders power, flexibility, and snow travel ability!

Everything I expected and MUCH more. - 2003 Mercury Marauder
By RobBrad - August 8 - 10:00 amTremendous automobile . Successfully blends a Mustang SVT Cobra with the full size luxury of a Lincoln Town Car It is fast, fun , comfortable, luxurious, AND gets LOADS more " street comments " than I expected. Plus it is an absolute stealth fighter for anyone who does not have a clue how fast it is , or is just trying to find out.
