Overview & Reviews

The Marquis receives additional safety features, including an emergency trunk release, child seat-anchor brackets and Mercury's Belt Minder system. The interior gets a new trim color, Dark Charcoal. One new exterior color will be offered, Tropic Green. The handling package's rear-axle ratio changes from 3.27 to 3.55. The Grand Marquis Limited will be offered later in the 2000 model year.

• Classic American V8 and rear-drive layout, considerable interior space, lots of luxury for a reasonable price.

• Lack of refinement, squishy ride unless the optional handling package is ordered.

  Timex in a digital age - 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Dan - November 12 - 2:00 am

  This car puts comfort and reliability above all else. It is amazingly comfortable although I wish the seats offered more side bolstering to keep you in place through the turns. It is VERY reliable. nothing has broken or worn out in its 62K mile life. Lots of room in the cabin and trunk though Id like a center console for storage. The driving experience is muted by vague steering and minimal road feel. The car wallows over bumps and turns and doesnt instill confidence in its handling, especially in wet conditions. The power train is adequate and the car never feel out of breath although more power would be welcome for passing. MPG is ok given its a 2 ton car, I get about 19.

  This has been a reliable and comfortable car. I am a handicapped person and appreciate the ease of entrance and exit with the spacious front floor, and accessible power seat controls.

  One of the last big cars. - 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Troy Ericksen - May 3 - 11:56 am

  Ancient design. For a car this large interior space is disappointing, Chryslers cab forward design makes offers far more interior space, roomy in front seat but back seat leg room is disappointing. Car is not very nimble. But suspension is not mushy like some cars in this class, body roll not excessive. Huge trunk. Easy to get in and out. Pretty good acceleration.Car has been very reliable but steering wheel locked up and had to be towed to shop. Okay gas mileage for such a big car. Exterior dimensions of car seem excessive, not as bad as the boats of the 1970s but still a very large car.Boring style. Not much fun to drive.

  Ok Car - 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By CG - August 6 - 10:00 am

  Ok car. Transmission went out at sixty thousand miles. Cost 1500 to repair. Power seats went out. Idle air control went out. Drivers side key pad also went out. Car pulls while braking in the rain. Would not purchase again.
