Love our Mercury Grand Marquis - 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Nancy Newell - September 22 - 3:26 amBring back the crome strip on the dashoard. It made the inside richer looking. Need more interier colors to pick from in regards to carpeting and cloth seats.

Not so "Comfy" Marquis - 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis
By MetroMan - August 27 - 8:40 pmWhen I purchased my Marquis "Ultimate Edition" brand new, I thought for sure Id be buying a car that would ride like a cloud. Instead, I have a 4,200 pound modern day buckboard. This cars suspension is very unforgiving and downright hard riding. If you must purchase one of these cars, be careful, and dont buy one with the optional "handling package" ($615.00), because the suspension will be set up whereby you will feel every little blemish in the road surface. And also, the $895.00 "Premium Plus Audio Package" is a waste of money, since the rear speakers distort and rattle, but the dealer insists that this is normal. Need I say, this is my very last purchase of a Ford product....ever.

beware....its a ford - 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis
By nveragain - January 19 - 2:53 pmpurchased the car in 2007 with 10K miles on it. after 2 years, the "blend" apparatus required replacement. ( this is the little door that opens and closes to give you cool or warm air.) that was a 1K repair and after 2 attempts, have still not succeeded in putting the dash back together correctly. today I learned that one of fords most reliable models requires a new intake manifold. this vehicle has 92K miles on it. have read many forums about this problem however this was supposed to have been corrected in 2005. NOT!! so if youre planning on purchasing a ford or mercury with a 4.6L this will cost you around 1200. will be going back to Honda later this year......

Great Used car Value with decent MPG - 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Mark - November 3 - 11:50 pmSeats 6 (not on long trips however) and averages 23 mpg. Great trunk space. Reliability is one of the best and even beats a lot of Japanese luxury cars as noted by consumer reports and JD Power surveys. Highway cruising is the way it should be. Beats SUV and most crossovers for mileage and mine has traction control for winter driving ( I dont really need 4 wheel drive on paved roads). I bought it used very cheap because no one wants a v8 right now. Great choice for the used car buyer! Everyone thinks its a geezer car (Im only 42 and perfect for my family). Radio isnt powerful enough (maybe made for geezers). Pronounced wind noise and steering vibration.

Not a sports car - 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis
By dankalm - September 26 - 4:26 pmThis car is a living room on wheels-- very comfy, nice and quiet and plenty of room. If youre looking for a sports car--keep looking, if youre looking for comfort and functionality for a reasonable price--this is it. For about 2k more than my wifes element-- I ride in elegant comfort.

Exactly what I need - 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Bill - October 30 - 4:33 pmTrue, this car ist cutting edge. The 06 is my 2nd one, the other was a 98.The stiffer chassis and rack and pinion steering on the newer models create a more satisfying driving experience. The car is floaty and large, but I am on the road six days a week, and cover about 4,000 miles a month. This car is my office and home away from home. I bought is certified pre-owned for almost nothing, as depreciation is poor on these cars. Never would I have bought one new, but is it a huge bargain used. I had a Chrysler 300C. It was pretty and powerful... and a piece of junk. For a functional tank that wont let you down, you cant do better than these dinosaurs.

Very Pleased - 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Mike - July 27 - 9:33 pmBought the car used with 9800 miles showing. Had rented an LS the year before and really liked the car. The only thing I did not like about the rental were the too soft seats. Got a great deal on this GS w leather and like it better than the LS I took to Colorado. It is very manuverable for its size. Its easy to get in and out of and dont believe everything you read in Consumer Reports...I get 27 to 28 mpg on the highway. You drive it like a moron and youll pay for it at the pump just like any other vehicle. And no, the Chrysler 300 is not a better or roomier vehicle. My car is much quieter, roomier, easier ingress and egress and MUCH better visibility.

Great car for the money - 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis
By T Barber - March 13 - 8:13 amCar is comfy, but seats need more support. Car runs really well for the size of car & engine. Transmission seems to always be "in the zone" with very good 1st gear power and ready willingness to downshift to appropriate gear when passing. Mileage is very good at 27-28 hwy, 16-17 around town. The tach is a good addition. Car steers and handles very well for being over 2 tons.
