Thousands of Floridians can't be wrong! A Lincoln Town Car at Honda Accord prices.

Model History/Marketing Philosophy: If you've been pinching your pennies to buy a new full-size rear-drive V8-powered American sedan, we hereby direct you to the Mercury Grand Marquis. It's mechanically identical to the Ford Crown Victoria and similar to the Lincoln Town Car. In fact, Ford, Lincoln and Mercury are the only brands building such cars these days. Decades-old technology allows Mercury to keep the prices low, and the car is a favorite among people who need space and don't want a minivan or sport-ute. Body Styles, Trim Levels and Options: For 2003, two models tempt you -- the GS and LS. Underneath the LS umbrella are the Premium, Ultimate and LSE trim levels. Base GS models include all the family-sedan basics, like air conditioning, a CD player, remote keyless entry, ABS, power windows and locks, cruise control and tilt steering wheel. Also standard are unexpected items like traction control and an eight-way power driver seat. The LS Premium adds power adjustable pedals, cruise control, alloy wheels and a power passenger seat. The Ultimate includes a wood and leather steering wheel and a rear air suspension. Finally, the LSE includes a handling package, leather trim and a front center console and a floor-mounted shifter. Powertrains and Performance: The Grand Marquis was never a slouch in terms of acceleration, with the 4.6-liter V8 engine pumping out 220 horsepower. For 2003, Mercury has made a few minor improvements that reduce emissions and boost oil longevity. The only transmission offered is a four-speed automatic. Buy an LSE, and you can look forward to more power and torque from the 4.6-liter V8 engine (235 horsepower instead of 220). Safety: You can sleep better at night knowing that the Grand Marquis scores well in National Highway Traffic Safety Administration crash tests; for 2002, it earned double five stars for frontal crash and double four stars for side impact testing. With a crash-severity sensor, safety belt pre-tensioners, dual-stage airbags and seat-position sensors, the Grand Mark protects occupants like few smaller cars can. New for 2003 are optional side airbags. Added standards like EBD, brake assist, traction control and power adjustable pedals mean this big Mercury can avoid obstacles better in the first place. Interior Design and Special Features: A cavernous trunk of 20.6 cubic feet will swallow any luggage you might have. All Grand Marks except for the LSE allow for six passengers. Driving Impressions/Opinions: Want a chrome-encrusted, rear-drive V8-powered American sedan without the premium charged for a Lincoln? The Grand Marquis fits the bill perfectly.

Mercury Grand Marquis Overview and History

Four years after having entered production, the third generation Grand Marquis received a mid-life facelift, mainly focused on the mechanics of the car and an increase in reliability.
Named after  the Roman god known for his speed and fashionable winged sandals, this particular car brand is the brain child of Ford Motor Company that was looking for a car brand to fill the gap between Ford and Lincoln as far as price went. These cars would also be stylish and elegant but would be cheaper and more economical.

The name Mercury actually seems to be of good augury, considering that the main line of activity of the Roman god Mercury was commerce. So you could say that in giving this name to the brand, Ford was trying to appease the gods and make it big in the car business.

The first design, of course made by Ford's development department, was the Mercury Eight or the Super Ford, which had a 95hp engine and a design that was hailed as being the most aerodynamic of its time. This was the first car which was first designed using a clay model. From 1930 when it was first launched and up until 1938, production already reached 17,000 units.

This radical increase in production was the result of an unexpected rise in demand, so much so in fact, that by 1940, Ford was struggling to keep up. Figures reached the 155,000 mark. But pretty soon things were going to come to a screeching halt due to WWII, during 1942 and 1945.

In 1946, production resumed but with a slightly modified version of the 1942 model Eight. By 1950, there were 1 million Mercurys rolling on the roads. It was now time to push things forward from an innovative point of view, and this is why Mercury launched its first automatic transmission, the Merc-O-Matic on all its models starting with 1951. Cars also underwent a few stylish changes, like “frenched” headlamps with sheet metal surround or behind grille, airfoil bumpers, jet scoop hoods and instrument gauges aviation style.

During the mid 50s, Mercury cars were just about the wickedest things on the road, and a testament of that is the fact that a customized Mercury was featured in the movie “Rebel Without a Cause” starring James Dean. Towards the end of the decade, Mercury also entered the racetrack circuit.

1960 would see the introduction of two new models: the Comet and the Meteor. Whereas the Comet was a stylish compact, the Meteor was a somewhat smaller car, an indication of the fact that America was downsizing. The Comet showed its mettle on the Daytona Speedway Track where it showed remarkable stamina as a fleet of Mercury cars ran for 100,000 at an average speed of 105 mph. As the 60s drew to an end, a new model was added to the lineup, the Cougar, which joined the Mercury family in 1967.

When the oil crisis of the 70s hit, Mercury responded by introducing smaller, European-made cars, the Mercury Capri and the Bobcat. But that doesn't mean that older models weren't selling anymore. On the contrary, a redesigned Cougar XR-7 caused sales to go through the roof. Sales figures for Mercury continued to climb well into the 80s.

It was during the 80s that Mercury tried to capture a wider section of the market and came out with new models, the Lynx and the Grand Marquis. But the car that stands out in this decade is the 1986 Mercury Sable. It had a very low drag coefficient which made it fuel efficient.

Mercury's expansion continued all through the 90s. This time it would be a minivan that would be added to the fleet, Mercury Villager, soon to be followed in 1997 by the SUV Mountaineer which managed to attract a more younger market.

With the dawn of the new century, Mercury sought to improve on performance but also on fuel efficiency and emissions. Also, in an effort to unify the brand, all cars began to share certain design  features as the front grille and the updated badge lettering. New models from this period include the  Milan and Mariner.

Recently though sales began to show lower number and many people wondered about the future of the brand. Ford was quick to dismiss any rumors that it would burry Mercury and in 2008 announced that it would be making the company part of its small car strategy.

2003 Mercury Grand Marquis Consumer Reviews

Requiem For the Last True American Car
Grand is the Mercury Grand Marquis' middle name; this car is apologetically the last true American car on the road. While other vehicles rely on technology and styling that fades, the Marquis uses its heft and V8 engine to isolate you from the rest of the world. The quiet and smooth engine in my car has been trouble free even after 12 years. The transmission makes the most of the 224hp with the aid of Mercury's Precisontrac limited slip rear axle. Combine this with the last full frame in a sedan and the soft leather bench seats and you have a car that can easily carry five people (six when necessary) anywhere in solid comfort. Don't waste your time reading "enthusiast" reviews, just buy it!

2007 Mercury Grand Marquis
"This has been a great value"
We bought our Merc new in 2007 for $ 16,800. Although we've had minor AC and heat ducting problems, the car has been running like a champ for all these years. Last January I noticed that it was running cold and had trouble starting so my mechanic replaced a thermostat and cleaned the throttle body. She runs like new consistently getting between 25 and 26 mpg on the highway no matter what the weather, from -40 f to + 105 f, it has never failed. I may never sell this puppy. On a recent 900 mile trip, we were fighting 50 mph headwinds and -25 degree temps. There were lots of new vehicles on the side of the interstate but our trusty Merc just rolled right along (getting 25 mpg). It really has been an amazing vehicle.
