2000 Mercury Grand Marquis Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I may be a little biased about this vehicle, but I think it is the best thing since sliced bread for the average commuter. Acceleration, braking, and handling in this vehicle is a slight bit sluggish, but that is most likely due to the archaic Panther platform that this vehicle is built upon. However, the Panther platform is one of the most tested - and most reliable - vehicle designs ever built. Used over the years by numerous police agencies, taxi drivers, federal agents, and military institutions, the reviews behind this vehicle are rock solid and unchallengeable. The build quality is extremely solid, and its appearance is aesthetically pleasing (interior and exterior). The cost of ownership is about average for a V8 vehicle: gas mileage is 20 highway, 16 city. Maintenance is very affordable because of the amount of these vehicles that have been produced. In my opinion, this car is fun to drive. I can't really elaborate on that, because I do not know how to explain it.Nov 23, 2010

Performance isn't bad for as big this big of a car, its geared high, and puts out plenty of torque. Gets superb fuel millage. I have reached 30 MPG on the interstate. Braking isn't bad. Handles quite well for a large car, takes turn at higher speeds without loosing traction. Build quality is excellent. You can tell in the ride, and feel of the car, that it's solid. Appearance, I think one of the better looking models after it was changed in 1992. Maintenance isn't bad either, cheap to operate, maintain and repair (rarely needed though). Fun Factor is debatable, depending on preference.Aug 06, 2010
