The Mercury Grand Marquis has been a car of few changes throughout its existence. For 2007 there are a few updates, including a new grille and front fascia, wraparound headlights, and LED taillights. This 6-passenger long and lean American sedan boasts the top rating in its class for interior room. Mercury is also proud of the Grand Marquis' fine record in government crash-testing: it's the only car in its class to earn 5 stars in government crash-testing 12 years in a row. And when the available front-seat side airbags are in the picture it gets 5 stars across the board. If roominess is one of the two big requirements of a large American sedan, the other would be a smooth ride. The Grand Marquis offers that, thanks to an independent front suspension and gas shocks. The variable-assist rack-and-pinion power steering is speed-sensitive, meaning that it'll be easier to steer in low-speed maneuvers such as parking. The 4.6-liter, 224-horsepower Flexible-Fuel V8, which can run on gasoline or a mix of ethanol and gasoline, comes standard on the car in the 45 states that have not adopted California Emissions standards. Any Grand Marquis sold in California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and Vermont has a traditional gas-burning V8 with the same specs otherwise. EPA ratings on the car are 17 mpg city and 25 highway. The Grand Marquis palette consists of 12 combinations of paint and cladding and 3 colors each for the cloth and leather upholstery. Standard equipment includes an 8-way power driver's seat, remote keyless entry, and traction control.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis appreciate its comfort, spaciousness, and reliability. Many drivers highlight the powerful V8 engine and good fuel economy on the highway. The trunk space is also frequently praised, making it suitable for road trips. However, some reviewers have noted issues with the car's handling in snowy conditions and occasional maintenance concerns like climate control and door locks."
This car is the last great American sedan. The V8 power train is extremely reliable and often can run for over 300,000 miles with nothing except scheduled maintenance services. My entire family owns some variation of this car- they’re luxurious and ride like a dream. The largest downfall (or bonus if you’re into it) is the car being rear-wheel driven. In New England snow, these cars are terrible to drive. If you’re anywhere where snow isn’t a thing- I’d recommend them 1000%; especially if the majority of your driving is highway cruising. On highway, it isn’t uncommon for these cars to get over 20 mpg. Like every other car- there’s always common problems. With the grand Marquis- the climate control unit is a frequent source of issues. A rebuilt control unit is $150; but the O-rings used inside can be replaced with a small amount of time and about $15 of parts if you’re handy. The other frequent problem is the door lock actuators and handles not working. Actuator motors are readily available and user-serviceable with a little determination- but once again, this is best suited for handy people. The front fenders commonly trap dirt above the wheel wells and on the rear portion of the fender- causing body rust and rot. The rear quarter panels also tend to rot in the front part (behind the rear doors). Besides that, all of these issues are minor due to the vehicle having a frame instead of relying on a cheaper unibody design. These cars are cheap money compared to overpriced newer (but less versatile) vehicles. They’re highly customizable and I feel they’ll be the hot-rods of this generation in twenty years.
November 3, 2022This is a Boss Hogg car. It's all about room, storage, and comfort. No foot-wide center console here, just plenty of room to spread out. Acceleration is good, not great, considering this is a V-8 powered car. Passing power is great. Due to its Ford cousin being a cop car and taxi, everything on this car is heavy-duty. It can drive all day at 90 mph or battle traffic for hours on end. The trunk is huge, the seats wide, the comfort wonderful! Don't look for the latest technology on the MGM, but it has plenty of luxury features you'd expect on an entry-level luxury car. Tough as nails, if you keep up maintenance, this car will serve you for years without problems. Cost of ownership is moderate. Breakdowns are few, but window and lock switches are prone to typical Ford gremlins. 6 quarts of oil per change instead of the typical 4.5. Gas mileage is excellent for a V-8. 26-30 mpg on the interstate is typical. The MGM is fun to drive as long as you understand what you are driving. It is not a drag racer, and holds the road like a 4000 pound car, albeit a very well handling 4000 pound dog, and is great for overtaking! Plus, If yours is the same color as the local cop cars, you get to watch brake lights light up! If you don't need the latest style and toys, and want a big, comfortable, road going cruiser, this is the car for you.
June 11, 2011This car is the last great American rear-wheeled, V8 family sedan. With a 5 star rated crash score- the vehicle gives you some peace of mind. It moves quick enough not to be a dog, but not quick enough to make handling difficulties. It’s a war-horse vehicle that will get you to your destination without constant and expensive repairs.

November 8, 2022Good milage, comfortable, looks good, possible hydraulic lifter problem.
January 12, 2008Hi , I purchased my 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis in July of 2015 , with 78,000 miles . It has been a very reliable vehicle for me. Most of the miles are highway miles , going to work and back. It has very good elbow room , the trunk is huge , It has power everything and the engine is still strong , at 180,000 miles. The only thing it is missing , is a Sunroof and a new sound system .All of the features is just fine. This is a big Sedan and I don’t know what to compare it with but this vehicle I don’t think it compares with any other vehicle , when it was made in 2005 . Strong and Steady ✌️ KSIII from Maine
August 12, 2022I like big cars and this was an good buy. I have had no problems and love to driveit, has good handlingand more than enough power . the trunk has a lot of room but the back seats dont fold down so limited to lenth of cargo.gets adverage gas milage for an V8. It would be an great car for traveling on long drives as it rides so smooth.
January 23, 2013It is not the best car on gas but i love the car its so comfortable great for a lot of people fitting and a very smooth drive. it is very reliable , never had any problems and has nice features.
June 7, 2013If i wanted to be picky i could say i really didn't want a white car. But the color doesn't really matter much to the ride and the comfort. No one wants to scwunched up in little car for hours a day.Maybe if the commute was short it would be OK. But i have about a 30 to 45 minute commute and the comfort and price made this girl a great deal....AS
May 7, 2012Great value for your money.has a Big powerful engine. Almost maintenance free.really comfortable car, big trunk space, big sedan with a good price compaired with other small sedans.great mileage on highway 25 to 28 city 17 to 19 Not your Grandpa's car, more like Grandson's car :)
January 22, 2010For a large car, it is adequate for power. It's very solid. Ride is great, I love the newer interior design except I wish it had a separate clock on the dash like my older ones. Gas milage is decent for a large V8 car, especially on the highway. I enjoy driving it, especially with the rack and pinion steering over the older recirculating ball design.
