Good and bad of the mercury

The good :
1. Strengths:The 235hp motor with dual exhaust and 3.27:1 rear end makes the big car fly! The
handling package with rear air suspension allows the car to ride smooth and handle great!

2.acceleration is nice for a big car. handles like a tank should.. it's a blast being a skipper on my land barge :o) exhaust only sound cool when floored..will be moditying that soon with the flowmasters. excellent value! the 2001 has larger disc brakes..disc warpping shouldnt be a problem..most folks upgrade to larger discs, this one already has them it's a mustang motor..mustang/cobra parts should match up to make this thing a lot faster .

The bad:
1. The automatic shift programing does not fit the sportiness of the car. I will deffinitly change it with a program chip and maybe a shift kit

2.Dated, old-fashioned interior appearance; back seat not as roomy as it should be in such a large car; digital instruments occasionally hard to read when sun is shining on them; car looks too much like a police cruiser or taxi.

Every Grand Marquis is outfitted with 17-inch alloy wheels, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, a power driver's seat, CD player and cruise control; popular options include chrome wheels, heated front seats, a 6-disc CD changer and power adjustable pedals. Standard safety features include traction control, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, dual front and front side-impact airbags and a tire pressure monitor.

the luxuries of a merc

the mercury grand marquis is by far the most comfortable car i have ever drove in with their couch like seats. If America wants a bold, innovative car, they'll buy a Toyota. If they want something honest, inexpensive and comfortable, they'll buy a Ford. If they want an honest car with added spizzarkle, they'll spend a little more for a Mercury.
