Best car for the moneySource: Cars.com...worked.Squeaking from the front end - a little grease applied to the adjustable hood bumpers cures this problem.Stiff ride - Mercury redesigned the suspension of the shock and coil spring version of the GM in 2003 and the ride is much stiffer than previous years. Some will appreciate the "sports car'" feel, but not me. I decided to replace the original rear shocks and front struts with aftermarket replacements and the results were good.Some brands of tires are made for the larger cars and advertise a softer ride. Don't be tempeted to soften the ride by running less than 32-35 PSI in your... |

Deteriorating QualitySource: Edmunds...The materials used on the interior are cheapened plastics with sharp edges of the molding process left untrimed. Cup holder is sub standard, rubber shift arm cover prematurely wearing. Poor gas mileage, round town and hwy, avg 17.3mpg. Engine noise horrible, like a desiel, Mercury says it's the fuel injectors and normal. Normal or not, it's not quality. Exterior paint was not complete in hard to reach areas like inside door edge.

Why should I also consider these?
Those eyeing the Mercury Grand Marquis don't have a lot of other choices.
If it's a rear-wheel-drive car they want, they might look to the Chrysler 300, which offers better performance, but is also more expensive and not as roomy inside.
The Buick Lucerne is a large, expansive sedan that's very refined, and its V-6 brings impressive fuel economy.
The Kia Amanti is about the same price as the Grand Marquis and offers a very roomy cabin, energetic V-6 performance, and a plush ride, with more standard features.
Finally, there's Mercury's own Sable, a big sedan that just about makes the Grand Marquis redundant, if you're OK with front- or all-wheel drive.
The Sable has an interior that's just as spacious, if not more so, than the Grand Marquis, with as smooth a ride, but better handling, and it's one of the IIHS Top Safety Picks for 2008.
