Not Bad For a Boat - 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Gary Ciborowski - December 16 - 1:50 amBest highway cruiser Ive owned since my 74 Impala. Extremely quiet, ample power and at 22 mpg, you cant complain. Strong signs of ancient automotive technology like analog gauges, but the car seems rock solid. Would seriously entertain buying a sportier model than the GS when this one is used up.

Grand Marquis - 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Bill H. - November 14 - 10:00 amBasic mix of 1970s design of large rear- wheel 4-dr car with updating of firmer suspensions and more efficient engine is attempted here. This car is an excellent alternative to the SUV with 24mpg on the freeway with Town Car like ride and confort. Great ride on the interstate but marginal on mountain roads. Drawback is overall quality in fit and finish. Dealers are very good to respond to quality issues but warranty is expiring soon, oh well. The perfect car for me is the style and size of the Grand Marquis and the qualty of the Camry. PS.. the big trunk is great!

outstanding - 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis
By AMCS (AW) USN - October 23 - 10:00 amIve had only one problem with my Mercury since 1999. I replaced the Idel control motor. A $89 part that took longer to drive accross town and pick up than to replace. It is the ideal family car. 27 miles to the gallon on the highway! More trunk space that you can imagine. Once you own one you will never buy a tin can again. I have replace the tires a little early on the wifes request. Outstanding car.

My Second Love - 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Rhythum - August 29 - 2:00 amThis is our forth Mercury Grand Marquis Each one just gets better. They are fun and easy to drive. I am very confident of the dependablity. It gets very good gas mileage. 22 to 26 miles to the gallon.One of the most important parts is its comfort . We travel alot and really enjoy the comfort and the huge trunk. It will not nickel and dime you with repairs.This one has and excellent paint job with a half rag roof. Looks very sporty.

Solid Car for the Money - 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis
By Clark - August 21 - 10:00 amThe Grand Marquis is what most cars today arent: spacious and functional, not "hot" and gimmicky. Its drive is very smooth, expecially on the highway. Its a true 6-passenger car, unlike other pseudo-"full size" cars that dont come close. Its huge trunk gives you a lot of flexiblity, as long as youre careful not to injure your back (it depth makes for a hazard if youre picking up something heavy). The interior could use some refinement, but not (we hope) at the expense of a price increase, since VALUE is what makes the Grand Marquis compete.

Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis
By bigcarsrule - May 3 - 11:14 pmBought my 99 Marquis with 65K on it. Now has 275K and never left me stranded. It did require a tranny rebuild at 130K ($1800) but it and the engine run perfectly with just regular maintenance and small expected repairs that are dead cheap compared to other cars. Still my daily driver at the 14 year old mark with 23 mpg in half city, half highway miles. Ive gotten 29 mpg with cruise set to 65. Dont let the laughably adolescent "official" review deter you from buying. If you want a comfortable, reliable, and economical car with plenty of room for people, groceries, or other stuff, dont miss your chance to get one. (BTW, with Nokian snow tires, these are the boss in winter).

Great Family Car - 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis
By MercOwner - April 5 - 10:00 amIve owned this car since 2001, bought it with 32k miles. It is a very reliable vehicle. It has the best ride, unless you like sportier/firmer ride quality, and is large enough for the whole family, even on vacations. It is a Park Lane Edition, equipped with all options except for a CD player. One can really work the deals during the negotiation of these car purchases!

Grand Marquis part II - 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis
By LandVessel99 - February 25 - 5:03 amAfter having my 1994 wrecked I found this one in Florida. After many miles the only major thing I had to replace was the intake which spewed antifreeze into the oil & caused it to run rough. Original mufflers lasted 10 years & pipes are original. Great mileage (people always say to me it is a gas guzzler when it gets the same mileage as their V6 foreign cars!) and put performance chip along with K & N filter on myself.

Lots of fuel pumps - 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis
By mattamypat - February 2 - 10:00 amMy car has slightly over 36,000 miles on it. I just had to replace the fuel pump for the second time, imagine with only slightly over 36,000 miles. I am 76 years old, I had to have my car towed yesterday in 90 degree heat. It cost me over $540 for a stinking fuel pump for the second time. I have contacted Mercury via phone, both the 800-521-4140 number and the number you get when you join their user club or whatever it is. They wont do a thing, they wont let you talk to anyone who can make a valid decision. You get to talk to phone-flunkies answering flunkies and that is it. Some support, I have owned my last Mercury.
