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.
