Overview & Reviews

Power from the V8 engine is improved. The interior gets minor improvements and an optional adjustable pedal assembly. Safety has been improved via a crash severity sensor, safety belt pre-tensioners, dual-stage airbags and seat position sensors.

• Plenty of interior room, upgraded horsepower for 2001, comfortable ride, excellent crash-test ratings.

• Large size makes it difficult to park and maneuver, not much rear interior storage space, lack of refinement, squishy ride unless the optional handling package is ordered.

  Bargain - 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Purley - June 27 - 10:00 am

  Purchased used for about $11,000 after my 1996 Grand Marquis was stolen. Fifteen months and 25,000 miles the only repair has been a turn signal bulb. 320 lbs of sand in the trunk makes winter driving ok despite RWD. It is very comfortable and the AC and heater work exceptionally well. Road noise is moderate. The interceptor package makes handling pretty good and passing acceleration outstanding. I average 17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway. I get grief because its an old mans car but have lots of extra money to spend on other things. Like the 1996, it occasionally feels a bit loose over uneven surfaces.

  A dream car - 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By David Lyons - March 19 - 10:00 am

  Bought the car with 29K miles, full Ultimate package with digital dash instrumentation. Full options. Only service so far has been to have the AC compressor assembly replaced, had damage possibly from the road, all covered under factory warranty. Repair bill: $0. This car has tons of power and will haul butt down the road. The trunk is humongous, fit and finish are stellar, and the leather seats are so verrry comfy. Steering and suspension are great.

  Grand Marquis - 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Kert Bradford - October 19 - 2:00 am

  The Grand Marquis is surprisingly stingy on gasoline while providing remarkable V8 power for any driving experience. Comfort, safety and handling are all a plus and I consider the Grand Marquis one of the best values for the dollar.

  Cats Eye - 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By AdamSebestyen - August 30 - 10:00 am

  I call Her Cats Eye because She is beautiful green. This car is the car of my life. I drove 16000 miles within 4 months in absolute comfort and she will never disappoint me. Simply perfect.

  Style & Comfort - 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By turnerjim77 - March 5 - 1:56 am

  Great long trip comfort ride with respectable gas mileage, especially for full sized vehicle. Second such vehicle I have purchased, as 96 was totalled by red light-running fool. Was struck at 50 mph and both I and passenger came out of it OK. Believe me when I say I feel pretty darn safe in this car! Great style, comfort, safety and decent economy in full sized ride.

  good cruiser - 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By nymikewithamercury - November 5 - 2:00 am

  I have the LSE model with the 240 hp motor, dual exhaust, performance package, and it is great. Great on the highway, and very fast and flat in the corners. Go through a lot of tires (snows are mandatory for the rear wheel drive).

  Made it Ma, top of the world - 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Stosh - October 10 - 10:00 am

  Just like James Cagney said in "White Heat"...Top of the world. I have had many cars in my lifetime, but this is the most reliable, best looking, most comfortable automobile I have ever owned. Looks like Im here now and will keep buying the Grand Marquis as long as they keep making them

  They keep building them - 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By R.Y. - September 25 - 4:16 pm

  As another person mentioned, this car is a sleeper. The 210hp 4.6L V8 with SOHC provides very good performance while giving surprisely good gas mileage. I get 30 mpg Imperial (Canada) driving at over 60mph or 100kmph. This engine is designed for fuel efficiency while being powerful enough at .75 hp per cubic inch. The car is designed for comfort, which is why I like the arm rests instead of a storage bin. If you want a storage bin, buy an after market product for the transmission hump. Yes, the power windows are slow and you wish they would go faster when you are in a hurry, but thats not a deal breaker. You can still buy a 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis.

  Love this car! - 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By labronnasmom - August 25 - 11:44 pm

  We bought this car with 80,000. on it and now it has over 240,000. Weve been to Utah and back to Ok several times and each time we check the mileage. The worst it got was 26 mpg and the best it got was 31 mpg. Each time. I find it hard to believe it only rates 16 in the city. This is a caddy for the poor people. We were going to get another one until they quit making them (that was dumb) So we got a Ford Escape instead. My dad has a 1999 and he loves his too.

  Leeanns 2001 LS Merc - 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By leeann - January 9 - 2:00 am

  Car is very dependable, comfortable in town and on the road. Handles beautifully and holds the road exceptionally well (due to the rear wheel drive and wheel base). Rear seat is very comfortable (many rear seats are not).
