2003 Mercury Grand Marquis consumer reviews

Car is a comfortable " Couch car". It has plenty of power when fully loaded. I was seeking the air supension package but could not find one at the time. I drove one with air suspension and I did not notice a big change.

This is my fourth one. had an 87 that went 200,000 miles. Had a 97 that went 150,00 and traded for a 2002 crown Vic that was totaled. This one has 120,000 with no major problems other than regular maintenance. I know if I get in and go, it will go. good fuel mileage. 18 city, 22 highway. Big safe car.

Consumer reports rates the 2003 Mercury Marquis GS as one of the most reliable cars in the $8-10,000 class

THIS IS OUR 2ND MARQUIS. THE FIRST A 94 WITH OVER 100K DROVE LIKE A DREAM. THIS ONE HAS 53K AND DRIVES LIKE A DREAM. NO PROBLEMS GREAT CAR FOR THE MONEY- IT'S JUST LIKE A BABY LINCOLN WITHOUT THE PRICE TAG...

The 2003 is the 3rd Grand Marquis I've owned. I commute right at 100 miles per day. We use the Grand Marquis as the work horse car and including the commuting mileage I put about 40K miles per year on it. It has been faultless for the four years I've owned it. It now has 158K miles on it and all I've ever done is changed the oil and replaced the tires. It rides and drives like new and still averages 25 MPG. The last Grand Marquis went 251K miles without a problem and I have no doubt this one will too. When it's time to get another car, you can trust it will be another Grand Marquis. It's a shame that Mercury is phasing them out...

I bought this vehicle as a program vehicle. It gets much better gas mileage on the road than promised, up to 28 mpg. No fatique on long trips. The sound system is great even in the GS, and the ride is smoothe and quiet.

I have purchased 3 Marquis over the last 12 years. All are still in my family and on the road. None have ever had ANY mechanical problems. The reliability of these cars is as close to perfect as it gets. The cost of insurance is extremely low due to near 0% theft rate and high safety rating. Combine the purchase price and the low cost of ownership, and you have one of the best kept secrets in America.

Good looking, sturdy, safe, little to no upkeep. A classy car that will look great for years. Extremely comfortable ride.

My Grand Marquis does everything well. In addition to being reliable, it's been trouble free, comfortable on long trips, handles well and is solid (no squeaks or rattles). On a recent trip to Florida, I got 24 MPG driving thru the hills of WV and 28 MPG the rest of the way. What more could you ask? One suggestion to Ford: Dual exhaust boosts HP from 224 to 239. Since it probably would also boost fuel economy, why not make it strandard equipment?

Steering Nibble at speeds between 36 to 46 mpg. Tech report says no-fix available. Have unsuccessfuly received correction from dealer or Ford Motor re: correction.
