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.

  Fun full size car to drive - 2003 Mercury Marauder
  By David Sheuring - November 19 - 2:00 am

  I am the owner of the 03Marauder and I love it. I have always driven older 60s and 70s sedans, which I still own. But I had been following the story of the Marauder for the last 3 years and was very interested in it. When the car came out, I had read the reviews and they were very complimentary on the vehicle. Then in May, 2003, I had a chance to purchase the only one this dealer had. This car drives like a car should drive, plenty of pickup, wonderful appearance and roomy inside and the trunk. The car is very easy to drive and can be pushed if needed. I find that I can keep this car looking like new. It is very easy to clean.

  Stealth Car - 2003 Mercury Marauder
  By Idaho Spud - October 25 - 10:00 am

  So far everything is fine. Runs great handles great. The suspension is a little stiff for around town driving but out on the road it is just fine. People just dont know what it is when they see it, when I tell them a Marauder most have never heard of it. That is part of the fun

  Not Your Granpas Car -but Close - 2003 Mercury Marauder
  By Jack C. - August 12 - 10:00 am

  I just amazed that American car companies continue this charade. Looks very municipal.Better,sexier cars available for the same$ or less. For $34k, get a G35.

  All smiles - 2003 Mercury Marauder
  By hp6465us - June 7 - 10:00 am

  I test drove a bunch of cars, including alot of Europians like Mercedes and BMW,and although the models I drove undoubtedly out performed this car, They lacked the inside room and comfort. But for the money, there is no competition for the Marauder. Some other American sedans are slightly better off the line, but once she gets moving, the handling and road feel are beyond anything GM or Chrysler has to offer. And yes, even including that utterly disappointing, uncomfortable, tub of goo Monte Carlo SS.

  value for your money - 2003 Mercury Marauder
  By buddy1 - June 1 - 2:00 am

  Didnt plan on buying a MM.Was going to trade in 1999 Grand Marque LS on exact replacement. MM was on showroom floor.The price was so right I drove it off the showroom floor for a test drive.We then drove it the 250 miles back home.You cant beat the value you get for the money in this mercury line. Power,AWESOME handling,ride is a bit stiff in the city streets but on the highway or mountain roads where we live this car was built for them.I feel sorry for city dwellers who will really never get to use the car at its potential.Note: We didnt trade in our other Grand Marque.

  A true American muscle car... - 2003 Mercury Marauder
  By deerejoe - March 2 - 6:30 pm

  A whimsical purchase turned into a genuine love for driving and enjoying this great automobile. Ford Motor Company should have promoted the Marauder in a more vigorous manner to reach a greater consumer base. This is NOT your average Mercury Marquis. Engine and suspension features are uniquely Marauder as are the interior appointments and exterior design motifs. The vehicle stands alone in the luxury category for a large family sedan that can drive and run with the best on the road today. The Marauder has the style, the performance and the glitz to turn heads and generate real interest from all who see and wonder just what this car is all about. Real CLASS at a reasonable price.

  GIVE ME MORE POWER...PLEASE - 2003 Mercury Marauder
  By Mike Meidroth - January 4 - 2:00 am

  Weve had the car for 4 months and thus far it has been problem free, no visits to the dealership or unusual gremlins! They notified me in July 02 that vehicles were in transit but I had decided to wait for the X100 limited production version. After seeing and driving the Marauder, we decided to go ahead and buy it and replace the daily driver. The admiring glances and thumbs up from other drivers has been a kick. My wife drives it most of the time and loves to tell people its her car not mine (she tells me she smoked a guy and his 4-speed El Camino from a rolling start the other day!).

  One of the Best - 2003 Mercury Marauder
  By skp369 - December 7 - 2:00 am

  This is the amoung the best cars that I have ever driven. It is like driving a lazy boy on wheels with excellent performance. It is not as fast as a corvette (owned a 93) but it more than makes up for it with the comfort and the practicality. A whole lot fun in the daily traffic and weather situations that most people find themselves in.
