2004 Mercury Grand Marquis

Pros: Ride Quality, ROOM
Cons: Engine

I have been driving this model for the last few days, and it reminds me of an old B-52's song. Although they are describing a Chrysler in the lyrics, they would apply here perfectly. "Hop in my Mercury, its as big as a whale, and about to set sail." This ...

Pros: Plenty of room in the trunk and smooth running motor and transmission.
Cons: This car was produced as cheaply as possible, and too harsh of a ride.

The reason I purchased my 2004 Grand Marquis LS ULTIMATE (bought new in May 2004), was that I was of the belief that if they made so many of this same design for so many years, how could they not be good. Oh no, not so fast my friends. Firstly, if ...

Pros: I can't give all the pros in just 15 words!
Cons: Gold ash color is weird- looks more green than gold

Have had my '04 Grand Marquis GS for four months now, and 2500 miles- couldn't be more pleased with it. Beats the heck out of the '01 Taurus I traded on it- and because of rebates the big Merc was only about $1500 more than a new Taurus. Rides like a ...

Pros: Cheaper price tag and better looking with all the extras.
Cons: Does not have great pickup

I have been a Cadillac driver for the last 20 years but I no longer like their looks or their price tag so I tried a Mercury Grand Marquis LS. The mercury feels like a cadillac because of its size and weight and the ride is just as smooth as long as you get it with the improved suspension. I never realized that you can get climate control and a seat heater but I have it all in my mercury. I really love the way the car handles and how helpful the traction control is in the winter. The only thing that the mercury lacks that my Cadillac had is great pickup from a start but other than that my car is actually better looking.
