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.

Love my Marauder - 2003 Mercury Marauder
By jeffn - April 6 - 10:00 amHandles well, no slop in the steering and no "floating" in curves or on bumpy roads. It is slow off the mark but quickly picks up once the tach reaches 3000. It has the quiet ride that youd expect from Ford and the leather seats are quite luxurious.

Best Car I Have Ever Owned - 2003 Mercury Marauder
By Irish Rover - June 8 - 7:36 pmThe Mercury Marauder that I purchased in 2003 replaced a 1993 Lincoln MKVIII with 168,000 miles on the odometer. I was looking for a car with like performance, comfort and convieniences. I bought the only silver Marauder they had on their lot. This car has delivered in every way that I could have imagined. It handles beautifully, absorbs the bumps well and has enough performance to get it down the road smartly. I have 37,000 miles on it now, and other than oil changes, two trans fluid changes and a fuel filter, there have been no mechanical or other problems with the car. It averages 21 mpg in every day driving. It averaged 24 mpg on the trip we took to Florida last year.

The Memphis Marauder. - 2003 Mercury Marauder
By MemphisMarauder - August 28 - 10:00 amThe Marauder is everything you would want in a full-sized sedan. With Five passengers in the car riding comfortably they begged me to quit stomping on the gas pedal. Truth is that I was not putting it all the way to the floor only about 3/4 the way!!! Not as strong from a start as my Allen Supercharged 96 Thunderbird but I could not comfortably seat five adults in it. Dual-piston front Brakes are fantastic. Marauder stops very quick with no skidding and its hard to get the ABS system to kick in.

Muscle at its Best ! - 2003 Mercury Marauder
By 2003MM - August 16 - 2:00 amA great car that seats 5 and has the performance of a sport coupe. Nothing beats the sound of an American V-8. Amazing amount of engine performance increase after the first 5000 miles.

Just Missed - 2003 Mercury Marauder
By sbcdrone - June 18 - 10:00 amThe Marauder is almost complete, but has a few flaws. The exhaust system should have been made from the same high-grade stainless steel used on the Buick Grand National. The engine power comes in at high rpm suggesting the Boss 5.4 from the 2002 F-150 would have been a better choice. Opening the trunk in the rain, or just after, is guaranteed to get water in the trunk. The sound system is choked by small speakers, and the rear window antenna is a poor choice. A trunk-mounted power antenna would provide better reception. Fuel milage has been excellent; handling and comfort are what I expected.

Awesome Car for the Price - 2003 Mercury Marauder
By mercmarauder - May 22 - 2:00 amDont let the sticker shock you. These cars can be bought for a little less than $30,000. And you get a ton (really 2 tons) of car for your money. The 302 HP rating must be conservative. The car is FAST. And comfortable. And it handles like a Mustang GT. 17 MPG around town. Room for the whole family. Comfort. Pwer. Performance. Take that Caprice (ahem IMPALA) lovers!
