Beautiful style, extremely comfortable, plenty of room, great gas mileage.

Haven''t found any yet and I''ve had my car for 3 years.

I''m 50 and was looking for comfort (for a change) when my Husband and I purchased this car. I couldn''t be happier with it! We''ve made several trips to Florida and Ohio in it and the best part was....I felt totally rested when we arrived! It runs so smooth, you never feel like you''re even moving! It''s like sitting in your favorite chair. I love the way you can adjust the lower lumbar of your seat to fit your posture! Not only is it super comfortable, but a real classy car! You feel like a million dollars when you''re riding in it....I absolutely love it!!

Lincoln Towncar.

Gas mileage on the highway is approx. 22-24mpg. The ride is smooth and quiet. The engine is very powerful. It is also easy to service. (change sparkplugs, etc.)

DRL module, MAF sensor and Cold-temp lockout switch had to be replaced, but the repairs are easy to do. Replacing the MAF sensor eliminated a slight spark-knock problem.

This is the most reliable car that I have ever owned. My wife used to call it a grandpa car, but after driving it on vacation to go camping, she now admits that she likes it. Once you have driven a Grand Marquis, it is very hard to go back to a midsize of small car. I have used sythetic oil for the past 3 years and right now I have 110,000 miles on the car and I use almost no oil between changes! My 92 used 1/2 a quart between oil changes after 100,000 miles.

2000 Buick LeSabre

Strong car, V8 RWD, quiet, relatively efficient for its size, can get up and go when it''s needed, and it''s pretty

Doesn''t get updated or improved much (this body style is almost 10yrs old). Engines have had problems with the valve seals causing oil to burn.

I bought this car because I was tired of front-wheel drive CV joint eaters. I was impressed from the start. It''s an LS with every option you could get that year including two-tone leather seats and aluminum spoke rims. Of course I''ve had smart remarks from my colleagues (I''m 28) about my "grandma car" or "how did you escape the nursing home", that is until I offer to race, no one wants to take me up on the offer because they know they will be smoked. I even did a tire-burning demonstration in their presence and their jaws hung, try that in a soccer-mom rice burner. The car is super-smooth and super-quiet, and makes passing effortless even uphill. I hope Mercury and Ford stays smart and keeps making this line, but they should really look into a restyling given the age of this design, that should keep sales up. The only problem I''ve had with mine was a blown catalytic converter caused by a faulty O2 sensor (there''s 4 of them and they cost 60-80 dollars apiece).

Buick Park Ave, it''s a more modern car but you''ll know the front wheels are pulling you, just doesn''t feel right at all. Cadillac Deville (95)

1. The price compared to its performance 2. Roomy trunk space and interior 3. Steering wheel very responsive

1. The car tends to slip and lose control too easily even on small bumps. The rear suspension seems to need improvement. 2. Would be more comfortable if there was a cabinet between the two front seats like the Town Car.

My Father is a diplomat on a three year term to the US. If you walk into certain streets in New York City or Washington D.C. that are crowded with various embassies and consulate generals from around the world, Grand Marquis is the car you will see most frequently along with the Lincoln Town Car. Regarding the fact that the Town Cars belong to the government rather than the individual diplomats themselves, I do not think of it as a mistake to say that the Grand Marquis is the most popular car among us diplomats. I''ve rode if for over a year and also drove it many times after getting my driver''s license. It''s big, smooth, and handles suprisingly well. It''s design also seems to be a big improvement compared to the previous model early in the ''90s. When my Dad''s term is over and I go back to my country, I sure will miss this car a lot. I''ve been here in the US many times, but I have no doubt that this is the most "American" car

smooth ride
very reliable
huge trunk
six passenger seating
rear drive
room for full size spare

sloppy handling in slippery surfaces

Overall, this is a great car. I am 28 years old and would not care for anything smaller. It does great whether your going to the store, pulling a camper, or just driving around town sight seeing. I must say it is very reliable and it get's a thumbs up for its age and being American made. Also, this car is not only for older people, but all ages!!

80's Caprices are on there death beds while 80's Grand Marquis are still clocking road miles.

Large, roomy interior and a really comfortable ride.

A gas guzzler!!

Got it from my mother as a hand-me-down in 1996. Don't know what she originally paid for it but my husband paid $10,000 for his brand-new, fully-loaded Mercury in 1975. We have driven the 1987 Mercury Marquis across the continent during the winter four times starting in 1996 and my mother drove it every winter to Florida for years. As a 14 year old car, it requires periodic repairs and maintenance but these have averaged out at about $1,000 a year since 1996. Not bad for a dowager with 250,000 kms under her belt!! These cars now cost about $40,000 in Canada so I'm not sure that I would consider buying a new one at that price.

1975 Mercury Marquis Brougham. Both were great cars and great value. Gave it to a friend in 1996. Still going strong and he loves it!

Big, Tough, Dependable, easy to drive. safe ( even without airbags), and the insurance is low.

i get really bad gas mileage in city driving about 13 miles to the gallon.

IT's a very nice and clean car, comfy seats, huge trunk, power everything
the stock premium sound was kind of junky (but what can you expect for 1989 right). Parking is semi difficult is tight lots. I would suggest this car to someone who doesnt car about spending alot on gas. I had to replce the power window motor on the driver side and the passenger side needs it too becuse they are cheap. I bought it with flowmaster duel exhaust and it sounds really good. The transmission is really stiff and sometimes I think its in drive and its really in neutral, and when i park i have to really push the selector into park or the brake doesnt work and i coast down my driveway backwards.

I once drove my friend 1995 grand marquis and i think mine has a nicer ride to it but his goes a little faster.

Five star crash rating, dual airbags, power everything, rides like a dream

Undersize front brakes need to be watched closely to avoid costly repairs. Light gray cloth interior will be a dirt magnet.

My last Grand Marquis was rear-ended by a truck. Totalled (and how!), but it saved my butt! Only one thing to do, get a newer one. This one I chopped for dual exhaust, put on underdrive pulleys and a "Superchips" computer module. The Superchip tunes the car for premium fuel, and modifies the transmission shift points. (http://www.performanceford.com) Not cheap, but totally worth it. now my grampa-mobile hauls butt! Heavy sway bars are on the way from Performance Suspension Technology of N.J. This car is just wonderfull, and a very good value.

Last of the rear drive cars. Front drive is for forklifts!

I've had the car for 10 years and it handles like a sports car. 163,000 miles and still going strong. The car is comfortable, dependable, and still looks good. I call it the beast cause it eats cheap tin imports!

13 miles to the gallon city/ 19 highway. Parts are starting to wear out.

I bought the car from a dealership for my commute from Providence to Boston every weekend for two years. Then, when I moved to the greater Seattle area I drove across country with total confidence. I make good money and people tell me I should buy something better. I say to them, "Just get in the way of my road yacht and I'll run your dinghy aground". I make vacation trips all over the westwith no worry's at all. I've thought of buying a new "Merc" but can't bring myself to comit sacrilege.

Door Handles Loosen easy

I love the beauty and grace of this car. Many people ooh and ah when they look at this car. The faster you go the better this awesome car handles. The bonus, when on the highway people tend to think that I am a Highway patrol and move right on over and let me through.
