Overview & Reviews

The last of the American rear-drive sedans gets substantial improvements this year, including a new instrument panel, new steering gear and an improved ride, thanks to a Watt's linkage suspension. All-speed traction control debuts this year as well.

• Last of the full-size, rear-drive, road hogs. It also packs a lot of bang for the buck, including a V8 engine and extensive standard equipment list.

• Gas hog.

  I Love My Grand Marquis - 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Happy Owner - March 30 - 3:10 pm

  I have always owned American cars, so I can not compare the quality and value of this car to a foreign one. Having said that, I cant imagine any other car offering the quality and value this car has. I have put 67,000 miles on my car in just under 4 years (it now has 135,000) and it runs just as strong as a new one. I have only used premium fuel in my car and consistently average 25 miles per gallon in combined driving. I am very happy with my car.

  I love this Car! I installed a K&N Performance air filter, adds dramatic low end acceleration and helps gas mileage. Very well built car Made in America!

  I bought the car used in 2002 with 75,000 miles. I have since put on almost 100,000 miles with no problems. The engine/transmission on these cars is bulletproof. This is my third Grand Marquis. The two previous cars were an 85 and a 92. Both of them reached 200,000 miles with no engine or transmission problems. I would definitely buy another one.

  I bought the car because of price, and although I did not expect it, never thought of myself as a Grand Marquis person, this is an impressive vehicle. Mine is a LS Gold Limited Edition 1998, with special suspension and all the luxury goodies. It averages 25 plus mpg on the highway with automatic a/c on. Fastest cool down in 100 degree weather then automatic temp control. Acceleration makes you think your "are" in a police pursuit vehicle. Although still prefer a smaller vehicle for "fun", you cant beat the Grand Marquis for cross-country travel.

  A great car to take to work - 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Jon - August 8 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this car to take to work (90 miles a day), to tow with, and to lug family and friends in. Also to stop putting so many miles on my baby, my Mustang. As far as performance, Im used to the power of my GT, though the power is nothing like my Mustang, its very powerful for what it is. A full sized sedan. I have only one problem with the car, and thats the interior. Only two cup holders (The car can seat 6 people). Also the front arm wrests should have storage, along with the back arm wrests (If the car had rear arm wrests). Oh, and the car needs a posi so both rear wheels spin. As far as mileage, I get 25-28 hwy, 20-23 city. It burns no oil with 105,000 miles on it.

  98 Grand Marquis - 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By george49024 - February 19 - 6:34 pm

  I bought the car for $2000 with 86,000 miles on it. Great car. At about 118k the plastic intake got a crack in it causing the engine to quickly over heat and warp the heads. This is a problem with these motors. You can look it up on the net. The same motors are found in the Crown Vics and the 8cy mustangs. I replaced the motor with another one with about 118k on it which I replaced with a after market intake manifold made out of aluminum instead of plastic. It ran until about 136k it was totaled in a 5 car highway accident during a ice storm. I took kidding about it being a "grandpa" car but I loved the car. Would buy again but replace the intake manifold. Best 2 grand ever spent.
