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.

  Wow - 2003 Mercury Marauder
  By Trash - May 17 - 6:36 am

  I just bought my dream car. I paid too much, I dont care! The question above, that said " Fun to Drive" says it all. You step on the gas, and it pushes you in to the plush leather seats at 60+, and then you look and it says 100. Wow! The sound of the engine is a low "gurgle" unexpected from such a small V-8. Having driven it less than 1000 miles, I can only say that it handles well, but on a wet road surface it could definitely get away from you. The quiet interior is only interrupted by the mellow exhaust tones as you depress the accelerator. A pleasure to drive, Im thankful that Im lucky enough to own one of these modern day muscle cars. This is the direction NASCAR should have gone.

  My Favorite Car - 2003 Mercury Marauder
  By jdgrules - May 9 - 7:20 pm

  I had always wanted a Marauder after seeing it in 2002 as a concept. Finally over a year I had a chance to pick one up with 11k on it! Its been the best car ive ever owned, never breaks down and ive done oil changes, tires (which are expensive), and add an k/n intake/exhaust and yes its a little slow outta the gate but she scoots once in motion its like a freight train, and that 4.6 DOHC has the opportunity to be so much more. I can recommend this car to ANYONE, if your even remotely handy with cars this car is a breeze to work on. Thing to keep in mind, the book values on the car are wrong, parts are a little tough and expensive, gas mileage isnt bad, insurance is cheap, and its fun!

  My Next Car....... The Marauder! - 2003 Mercury Marauder
  By Marty S. - April 17 - 10:00 am

  You have to go and find one first, good luck, not many dealers have them yet. But once you do, and you first come upon it, you are awestruck with it`s look, then, it`s overall appearance is fascinating! She rumbles like a Mountain Lion, pure Power yet Luxury as well. This is DEFINITELY MY NEXT CAR, NO QUESTION! WAY TO GO MERCURY! M.S.

  Black, Black, Black, Fast & Fun. Great Audio system, handles great, excellent pull from 25 mph & up. Weak off the line then gets stronger. Nice exhaust tone. Well built tight & smooth handeling.

  Boss Mercury - 2003 Mercury Marauder
  By donr - July 11 - 10:00 am

  This is a really sweet Mercury. I have owned a lot of Mercurys in the last 30 years and this Marauder is solid, fun to drive, fast enough and a car every middle-aged guy needs.
