Overview & Reviews

For 2009, the Mercury Grand Marquis now has just one trim level, the LS.

• Spacious interior with six-passenger capacity, comfy ride, low price, torque-rich V8, excellent crash scores.

• Ancient design and underpinnings, sloppy ride and handling, outpaced by newer competitors in almost every way, being flagged down by those in need of a taxi.

  Old School V8 Sedan - Very Rare today! - 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Sanjay Mukherjee - November 7 - 10:06 am

  I always wanted to drive large 1970 styling cars like the 1975 Impala and cars of that era. I was surprised to find this car still in production! The Mercury Grand Marquis is for those who love old fashioned large V8 sedans and i bet this car will quench your thirst.

  You have to drive this car! - 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Bob - August 26 - 6:53 am

  First, Im a young guy. In past, always bought Toyota, Honda and Volvo. Fate made me stop at by Mercury dealer when I was looking for replacement for car that broke down at 100k miles. Salesman asked what I was looking for and I pointed to the Marquis as a joke. He gave me keys and I said what the heck and drove it. I then bought it. Im well over 6 feet tall and this is first car that I can stretch out my legs. Ride is ridiculously comfortable and I float down the highway. Yes, steering is squishy but this is not a sports car. Talked to a mechanic whos been replacing engines over 20 years and he never worked on a Marquis. So comfortable, reliable, cheap. You must drive this car.

  Terrific Value In A Traditional Car - 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By hpr2 - August 10 - 4:13 am

  Ive owned 12 Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis sedans since 1989. I came across a 2009 Grand Marquis LS Ultimate Collection with just 8.400 miles on June 1, 2011. This car is not only the best full size Ford product Ive ever owned, but the BEST car Ive ever owned ! Say all you want about being dated, but these cars were a salesmans dream....no failure along the side of the road. Ever. The evolution from 2004 to 2009 was a continued improvement in ride and transmission driveability, shift points, etc. Ive just retired and feel set for many years to come. Remember the "special feel of an Oldsmobile" ? As long as I can, I will have the "special feel of a full size Ford product".

  Comfort and value - 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Ben - July 26 - 8:13 pm

  When I bought the Grand Marquis I knew what I was getting: an old fashioned, large, comfortable cruiser. I like the simplicity and traditional design. Edmunds review is too harsh. Not everyone wants a $50k BMW or Mercedes. Try it out for yourself and see what I mean.
