Overview & Reviews

A new heavy-duty four-speed automatic comes standard for quicker shifts along with traction control and an upgraded audio system. Dark Red and Silver are newly available exterior colors. The 4.6-liter V8 now comes with dual knock sensors for improved engine response at low speeds.

• Handling that belies its size, the ride and comfort of a Town Car, strong straightline performance once engine speed builds, high safety ratings.

• Lack of low-end thrust, poor lateral support in seating.

  A fun four-door sports car - 2004 Mercury Marauder
  By evansc6 - May 23 - 7:36 am

  Im fairly happy with my 04 Marauder. Its plenty fast (though Id love to add a supercharger), comfortable, and the fuel economy is pretty good at 20 mpg around town. I would recommend an 04 over the 03s because the newer ones have a better transmission (mine doesnt thunk into the next gear like the 03s). A little too much cheapy plastic inside, and the build quality isnt up to par with BMW, Mercedes, or even Honda. But overall a fun car to be had in the low $20Ks right now.

  I love this car - 2004 Mercury Marauder
  By DPJ - May 9 - 2:00 am

  In the three months Ive this car, Ive fallen in love with. Big fast car. Fun to drive, and I feel very safe in it. With everyone driving SUVs, its nice to be in a large car that rips up the pavement. Gas mileage isnt geat, but were talking about a big car.

  Highway Star - 2004 Mercury Marauder
  By clamboy - March 29 - 11:26 pm

  This car is a remarkable value. Paid 22K CPO in Aug and this thing rides like an American S-Class. Could it be a little faster...maybe. Once its off the line this car is an animal from 20-120. I think Mercury hit it right. More horses wouldve made this car a gas guzzler. I think that they bailed out way too soon on HiPo.. now Chrysler has all the 4 door muscle. Including a suicide door Imperial.(Way to fo LM asleep at the wheel as ususal.) This car is BEAUTIFUL in every way imaginable. They should bring it back and offer a light 4.6 and a Supercharged version. . I love this car. Drive it once and youll want it

  my kind of car - 2004 Mercury Marauder
  By louis olguin - February 18 - 2:00 am

  The very first time I drove the Marauder was in february,2003, when it first came to market. I test drove it, and took it to almost 120 within 20 seconds of getting in the vehicle. the salesperson and I are both former Marines. As I was reaching the speed of at least 95mph., he said, Lou, you havent hit that last gear yet, hit it, and I did. Two months later, I bought one. Grrrreat move.

  ImpMauler - 2004 Mercury Marauder
  By FinishLine - December 26 - 10:00 am

  First thing first. This car can stamp out any Impala on the road. However, the Imp was built almost ten years ago and still is a worthy adversary. To me that doesnt make sense. This car should have been 360 horsepower more low end torque and equipped with a five speed automatic/auto stick. Then I would be able to understand Fords ingenious advertising scheme for this car (not!)Which we all know was no advertisement at all. Because you wouldnt have to advertise a car like that. But that didnt happen did it? And that is why this is the last year the beloved Marauder will be built. What a shame!!

  All cars should be like this - 2004 Mercury Marauder
  By Bob J - December 15 - 7:00 am

  I drive over 100 miles a day to and from work (mostly highway). I get 25 MPG in the summer and 22MPG in the winter (hate that winter gas). The car is big and roomy. It reminds me more of the cars from the late 1960s. At nearly 50,000 miles, its time to replace the rear tire, again.

  Comfort and Power - 2004 Mercury Marauder
  By DRB - December 9 - 4:03 pm

  Since August 2004 when I bought it never had a problem with it still sounds and acts the same as the day I drove it of the lot. Everyone from cops to passers by have to check it out. Like the days of old it is a full size car that has power galor that will give the thrills of yesteryear when everyone loved US muscle cars. On a trip the car is great on the highway about 400 miles to a tank on a trip. Just keep your foot out of it in the city. Best fuel performance in the 2200 to 2400 RPM range normal driving. Faster than a stock Mustang GT in a quarter mile race.

  a rare find, very cool - 2004 Mercury Marauder
  By buckyboy - September 26 - 10:00 am

  This car is not for everyone. It is only for the ones who know about this car, and wanted it from day one. I am glad i bought this car. There are some things one might complain about, although minor, YOU WONT HEAR IT FROM ME. One thing you cant deny about this car is the cool factor. Although every car could have more horses, this car is overflowing with testosterone. I like the fact that it is rare, but wish people would stop saying it looks like a cop car. I didnt buy it for that reason. Mine is black with blacked out windows, it looks downrite mean! It truely is a great combination of luxury, performance, and style.
