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.

This 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.

This 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.
