Overview & Reviews

The Mercury Grand Marquis sails into 2008 with only minor changes to the options list. A new rear air suspension is available, while last year's Handling Package that increased power and improved handling has been eliminated.

• Low price, spacious interior with six-passenger capacity, comfy ride, torque-rich V8, good crash test scores.

• Ancient design and underpinnings, sloppy ride and handling, outpaced by newer competitors in almost every way.

  This is my third Grand Marquis and I have never been disappointed in any of them. Others cant come close to the comfort and smooth ride that this car gives. A very dependable auto.

  Will never buy another - 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By TONY - September 3 - 4:23 pm

  I have owned MGM since 1992 (that was the best I owned) Purchased the 08 brand new, I took the car in for oil change and to check out a noise at 2100 miles, 9 days later I had new engine installed! The Ford rep actually instructed the service manager to take the engine apart and repair it. Only after much shouting and going back and forth did the service manager convince Ford to give me a complete new factory engine. This will be the last MGM I will ever own.

  Disapointed - 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Jim D - May 6 - 12:53 pm

  We have a 2003 Crown Victoria that we have loved. We just bought a 2008 Grand Marquis with the new 17 inch wheels and I hate it. The car seems to have a mind of its own when you are on the open highway. This is where the 2003 Crown Vic. is the most fun to drive but the 2008 Grand Marquis wants to drift all over the road. I think the problem may be that the front end is set up for the old 16 inch wheels and with the 17 inch wheels you are getting a wider bite of the road which causes it to want to drift. The high beams are also pretty useless. They do a great job of illuminating signs and trees but dont put much good adding light to the roadway. This may also be a 16" vs 17" setup issue.

  Last of a dying breed - 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By ionosphere - November 23 - 8:13 am

  Ive had my car for 6 months now and I love it. Others can complain that this car is old fashioned, but Ill take this car anyday over any Honda, Toyota, etc. The front bench type seat leaves this big fella with terrific legroom unmatched in other cars. The trunk is great, with the trunk organizer and all the space. Okay, so its not the greatest in handling around sharp turns and staying in lane. Big deal; Im not going to race it.

  Great V8 American Full-Size Sedan - 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By George - August 5 - 6:03 am

  I have ridden in these Ford sedans for over for all my life. My grandparents have had two Town Cars and a Crown Vic. The Grand Marquis, on the same platform, is simply one of the most comofortable sedans out there. Its got room, V8 power, comfort and traditional style, which stands out on todays roads. I hope Ford keeps these sedans around and updates them. Their comfort is hard to beat and its a throwback to an earlier era, in which I wasnt even born, of big, luxurious sedans. No matter your age, young or old, the Grand Marquis offers great value and should be test driven!

  Wonderful Car! - 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Bobby - October 27 - 11:23 am

  The 2008 Grand Marquis is a fantastic vehicle. I love the exterior design and chrome. Its classy and classic. This car is a great ride, and its price is not bad. It is smooth on the road, and it is powerful enough for all driving situations. When looking for a full-size car, check out the Grand Marquis. Its worth it.

  If only the AC was trouble free - 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Al D. - May 10 - 4:20 pm

  My 2008 MGM is my fourth one in fourteen years, except for a 05 Lincon LS (what was I thinking?) the have been my only choice. What can I say, I like the car for all the same reasons aforementioned, but mostly for comfort and reliability. The only exception to this is that I have encountered a AC problem in three of the four Ive owned. A 94, 98, 04, 08, and only the 94 was trouble free. But then again it is the only problem. If Merc. could get this right its a Peach.

  New Engine after 3000 Miles - 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Jim - October 12 - 12:30 am

  I bought my Grand Marquis new it was an 08 left over. I took the car in for an oil change, and a slight knock. after a three day diagnosis, came to find out that the #5 cylinder went bad. Ford approved a new engine to be installed can not find out if in fact a new engine is being installed or if its going to be a rebuild! Tried to get dealer to let me trade into something else, but after owning car for 6 months they said it depreciated $ 8000, so getting new engine, let see what happens!

  Hard to beat for the price. - 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Jim - July 8 - 3:56 pm

  This is my second Grand Marquis. I had a 2005 (Ultimate Edition). The only repair I made on the 2005 was front brake pads at 88,000 miles (I drove the car to 101,000 miles). Great repair record, great ride, roomy trunk, OK gas mileage. Feel that if the rebate is $5,000 or more the car is hard to beat.
