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.

  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.

  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.

  POLICE SLEEPER - 2003 Mercury Marauder
  By ROBERT ROSA - August 30 - 10:00 am

  THE 03 MARAUDER IS A HARD CORE RIDE WITH A VERY RESPONSIVE THROTTLE THE CAR LAUNCHES BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT STICKS TO THE ASPHAULT THANKS TO THE MEAT ON ITS 18 INCH WHEELS. BRAKEING IS GREAT THANKS TO THE FOUR WHEEL DISC WITH DAUL PISTON DISC UP FRONT. 302 HP THERE NOT KIDDING IT BUILDS POWER THREW OUT ITS POWER BAN. OUTSTANDING RIDE THE BIG POWERFUL AMERICAN CRIUSER IS BACK!!!

  Five Years - 2003 Mercury Marauder
  By chapel1 - May 10 - 1:20 am

  Still as much fun as when I bought it 4 years ago. Best Advice, get a power tune or a chip, Your transmission will shift smoother and your engine will awaken from its factory EPA settings. Big Black and Fast! And still nice enough to take on vacation or out to dinner. You can achieve 23 mpg fully loaded at highway speeds.
