  LOVE IT - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By RJDomke - November 6 - 10:20 am

  Better ride then Cadillac, or Pontiac. I rented one in Chicago during a winter fly in. I loved the feel and felt safe inside on the icy roads.

  Amazing Value - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By JP - June 10 - 11:56 pm

  This is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. It is quiet, smooth and suprisingly agile for its size. The level of equipment for the price and size of the car is exceptional. I would buy another without hesitation.

  Great Car - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Dwight - October 15 - 4:56 pm

  I bought this car new, enjoyed it very much. Has 60,000 miles, 23 average mpg, better on trips. I think its a quiet car overall, the only thing I dont like is a start up engine knock but its been doing that all the time and I lost a center hub cap. The car runs great, plenty of power for me, good ride.

  Oldie, but Goodie - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Jay - June 13 - 2:33 am

  Im a 26 year old male and I prefer the "old Fashion" rear-wheel-drive and body-on-frame construction. The car feels solid, powerful, and comfortable. RWD with traction control does well on slick roads during Buffalo, NY winters. I plan on keeping this car for atleast 5 years or more. My only fear is that they will stop making them.

  Never again! - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Sozo - May 23 - 5:30 pm

  Our new 93LS would put this 05 to shame. I thought theyd make the car better, not worse. Too much wind noise (mirrors & windshield) and a noisy low speed fan. The engine, transmission and exhaust noise is a total disappointment. The dealer said they now use thinner windows. But besides the overall cheap feel of the car we ended up with steel wheels that are “out of round”. Yep, shaped like an egg with the vibration and road noise to go with them. I spent my life in the tire business and know tires and wheels. The dealer replaced one wheel but it looks like it will take an act of Congress to get the rest taken care of. With 7,000 miles we’re stuck. My wifes Corolla is a much better car.

  2005 Grand Marquis ultimate edition - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By PAUL COUGHLIN - February 5 - 6:30 am

  After two trips to dealer for oil chg/filt. I have had no issues re: Quality or driveability. Vehicle is a pleasure to drive on hwy and secondary roads. It is responsive and as dependable as i expected it to be. I have experienced better than 20 mpg in local town traffic and expect high 20s on highway. It gives a ride that is incredibly smooth and quiet, but firm on curves etc. All systems satisfactory so far.

  Quality Lacking - 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Phil Little - January 1 - 12:33 pm

  This is my umpteenth Ford product that I have purchased new since 1962. The car performs well, but has a very annoying squeak in the front suspension that the service department hasnt been able to locate and repair. It would appear that quality was not number one the day my car was built. I like the ride, the looks of the car, and am happy with the gas mileage which is in keeping with the original sticker quote. My 2004 Marquis was a better built vehicle.
