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.

Get it while you can - 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis
By billccm - November 30 - 3:16 pmNine years ago I went from a bullet proof Crown Vic into a Chevy Impala, which was a mistake. My Impala nearly fell apart at 90K miles, so it was a no brainer to return to the panther platform Ford. I have to admit that the convenience features of the Impala are missed such as console storage, homelink, and very functional cup holders, but the ride, and spacious interior make up for it in the Grand Marquis. I have to admit that I had forgotton about the old man jokes that come with this car (I am 40 years old).

Good car for trips - 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Ron - July 3 - 4:03 pmI have owned the Mercury Marquis for 13 Months and its provided me with great transportation. Most of the driving is over the road and it gets 26 mile/gal. if I keep it under 70. Towe a 1,700# boat with no problem. I think it is the best car on the road for the money.

10,000 miles per month - 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis
By LimoDriver - September 24 - 10:00 amI am a limo driver. We have a fleet of Linc/Mercs/Ford E350 vans and a Rolls Royce Silver Spur. The owner is religious on oil changes and tire rotations on these vehicles. They drive from Pa to JFK, Manhattan, NY, Newark, NJ and etc DAILY. That is 10,000/MONTH/vehicle! They are flawless, reliable, comfy and great mpg on the hwy. City driving isnt as good as hwy. Ive driven Gr Marquis in snow storms to JFK to pick-up passengers already. Stop beating these cars up. The trunk space is nearly big enough to haul 1/2 a house! Ford is making a terrible mistake dropping this car in 2011. I am very partial to them and have owned 3 Gr Marqs myself with NO REGRETS!

I love this car!! - 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Twylla - August 7 - 4:33 pmEveryone complements the ride and drive after they have had a chance to get inside. It has such a smooth and comfortable ride much different from the smaller cars but I dont sacrifice mileage for it.

Comfort & visibility - 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Darrell - January 2 - 11:53 pmIve owned fast cars, sporty cars, vans & crossovers. Im impressed with the comfort and visibility of this automobile. I have no need for fast acceleration off the starting line, the fuel economy is ok, and I dont have to lean over to see out of the car. For trips longer than to town, it is great. Styling may be old to some, but styling isnt my thing.

Great value and ride - 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis
By John - October 12 - 2:53 amI have to admit that I never considered a crown vic or grand marquis but after driving a crown vic as a company car for several long trips I was so impressed I went and bought a 2009 Grand Marquis. I love this car and hope the stories of reliability hold true for me as I drive many miles each week and look forward to the trips in this car.

A Rock-Solid Ride - 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis
By CapnHawk - January 6 - 2:43 pmBought my first Grand Marquis in 1992. Ran it for close to 350,000 trouble- free miles. My 2009 model seems to be no different than the 1992 model. Rides like a dream, great power from the V-8 engine, and more room than you could ask for. The segue from a 17 year old model to a new one could have been accomplished while blindfolded. Fit and finish is outstanding. I hope they never stop making the Grand Marquis.

Grand Marquis Still A Good Car - 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Marquis Owner - July 1 - 3:33 amI have owned a Grand Marquis for 23 years and just purchased my 7th one, a 2009. The care still rides and handles very well and looks good. I was disappointed to find they have removed the compass, the automatic parking brake release and the Home Link.
