This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Beefy horsepower figures, all-American attitude.
Cons:
  • Needs more low-end punch, no independent rear suspension.

    Middle aged means you have been around long enough to drive cool cars. Could this be all that Mercury says? Answer YES! The first time my fat middle aged butt hit the seat I knew. Hit the key and the beast comes to life. Get salesman in car and advise to stay calm. This is not grandma going to bingo. The urge hits. Mash the peddle and the Maurader roars to life. At a buck 20 the salesmans pacemaker starts to fail, back to the showroom to sign some paper. Turn heads you bet. Fun car yep. Great job Mercury. Adding an addtional 60 HP with the new chip it even gets better. If you got one enjoy it. If you want one get it. If you dont like em tough #!%&.

    *Note, I am the second owner of this car. I bought the car with 32,000 miles on it. Original owner had to have some warranty work done it. The radiator had gone out as did a window door switch. So far, the only problem I had with the car was a dying car battery. In stock form, the car is slow to get up to speed and I dont care much for the stock 3.55s. Ford could of done much more with this car. Ive done a SCT xcal tune, coutersy of alternative automotive, to the car and switched the rear gears out to 4.10s and it is much faster. Makes a great daily driver. Very reliable, gas mileage is modest if you can avoid stepping on the gas all the time.

    Excellent car overall from powerful engine performance to luxurious features. Terrific handling capability. Thanks to the rear air suspensions. Best value for the money. Cool looking and true American muscle sedan. Thanks Mercury and Ford.

    My wife wanted a V8 rear wheel drive cruiser, so being a blue oval guy I bought her a silver Marauder. This car rocks! From 50 to 90 it nails you to the seat. It handles very well for a large sedan. The interior is very comfortable, heated seats are great. Love the tire & wheel combo. If you think it rides too rough, go buy a Town Car. Fords best kept secret!

    I also own a 1996 SS Impala. My SS is a super car, but not equal to the Marauder, in terms of power, quality, comfort, gadgets, etc. However, I do prefer the lower profile of the SS. I fully intend to keep both cars indefinitely, but if I had to choose which to keep, it would be the Marauder.

    The Mercury Marauder is a dream come true. A full size luxury car with sports car performance. The smile on my face never ends. To like a car after one year of ownership is normal. To love a car after one year of ownership is not normal. After one year I love this car. Visit mercurymarauder.net.
