  A Real Car - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By A Wayne Carnell - September 18 - 10:30 am

  The rear wheel drive remains appealing to this buyer given the mechanical simplicity of the power train. Proper winter snow tires are essential for driving on snow and ice and where permitted studded tires improve traction immeasurably. I have owned Lincolns through the years and the Marquis is of equal space and ride quality at a significantly lesser price.

  Value for the Dollar - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By virg - September 13 - 2:00 am

  After much shopping around looking at comparitable cars, I chose the Grand Marquis because of its size, V8 engine, and rear wheel drive. This car was thousands cheaper than comparable cars with the same equipment and platform. The car has plenty of smooth, quiet power coupled with a turnpike ride that suits my tastes. While it doesnt shine in fuel economy, it still gets much better milage than a 64 Dodge Dart I had with a 273 V8. Overall; I think the Grand Marquies and the Ford Crown Victoria are two of the best values for full size cars in todays market.

  Over All Evaluation - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Paul5577 - May 9 - 3:53 am

  This is the third Grand Marquis that Ive owned. The reason... I cant find another auto that comes close to delivering the bang for my buck. The engine is strong and the Premium ride is that of a Town Car, of which I possess as well. Solid built, comfortable ride, dependable and not to mention big enough to sit across from another person without rubbing shoulders. Paul

  Seat Belt Problem - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By croke - April 3 - 2:33 pm

  I like the car in every way. It gets 19 mpg city/hwy. One can only sit on 3/4 of the front seats as the seat belt receptor is solid and sticks up through the seat. It can not be moved. Without that seat belt reception problem, one could sit in the middle of the seat and get support on the right side of the cushion. As it is one sits on the left side support and middle of seat: extremely uncomfortable. It would be ok for a small person, i.e., 100 pounds or less could sit in middle.

  Cushy gas hog has issues - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Lisa - March 26 - 12:03 am

  We were so excited to get into this buttery ride only to have our Marquis buzz killed when the fuel pump went out at 47,000 miles after only having it a month & one 400 mile trip under our belts. Another surprise was the terrible city mileage, much lower than the stated 17 mpg, around 10 mpg. Highway ok w/25 mpg. As Ive seen mentioned I have to agree the lack of a center console leaves one stuffing everything into the paltry pockets given in the front seats or on the floor. So despite the wonderful smooth ride the overall economy leaves me wishing wed shelled out for a Camry etc. PS.Loaner car during fuel pump was a Sable 05. It was a gas hog also (15mph?!). Ford/Mercury needs to wake up

  room for six - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By madman350 - May 28 - 2:56 pm

  dumped 95 sse pontiac for a car that could hold 2 extra people for trips to town etc.,(bucket seats are for college kids- not FAMILY cars) and could never bring myself to buy a top- selling Asian car with no trunk or interior capacity, and front wheel drive durability inconsistencies, and wound up with the only option available that wasnt MEGA- Bucks,foreign, or a glorified station wagon (aka SUV). True more people would look at us if we had 23s, or full-fledge aero kits, flip down DVDs,etc. Oh well, the price you must pay if your wife tilts the scales at 300+, your kids pack enough junk for a weekend trip for a whole summer camp, and you have a lead foot that eats CV joints for breakfast

  best for the Money - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By bystander - January 29 - 2:00 am

  You can buy a better auto but you cant buy a better auto for the same amount of money. Comfortable, smooth, powerful engine and a car design delight for the eyes.

  2002 Mercury LSE - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By MichaelDavidon - September 26 - 10:00 am

  The BEST new and used cars on the market! The value, reliability, and driveablity of these cars is outstanding. Dont let the Edmunds review of "difficult to manuver and park" fool you. Its got power steering! What a joke. I guess if thats all they can come up with, it must be a pretty good car. Dont be influenced about a percieved "negative" image. All my 20 and 30 year old friends love both my Crown Vic and this Mercury LSE.

  A lot of car for not alot of money - 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By a_roo - March 25 - 10:00 am

  I just bought this car a few weeks ago, and an still in the honeymoon stage of ownership. Let me tell you why I bought it... I was getting tired of small/medium cars and wanted a larger car with a lot of premium features. This car is VERY comfortable, and the ride is smooth. Granted, Im probaby one of the younger buyers of a car reserved for a more mature audience, but I wondered why I havent looked into a larger car sooner. I was going to wait for the 2003 models, but with the fantastic deals, I bought the 02 Grand Marquis Ultimate edition.
