I didn't expect to like the Grand Marquis. It has grandpa connotations; and it is a large, rear wheel drive, traditional American car. But it is also spacious, very smooth, easier to maneuver and learn to navigate than I thought it would be, and very reliable. The technology may be old school, but it is also very durable. When needed, parts are plentiful. And almost anyone who knows how to work on cars is willing to work on this car, unlike smaller front wheel drive machines.

Reliable, comfortable car

Of each utmost importance is the fact that this car is reliable. Even when it's having a little trouble, it always starts and will get moving. It's also a really hardy car (ours has seen 2 owners and it's fair share of accidentally run over curbs or bumped poles) that comes away unscathed from, at least, minor bumps and bruises. Its also easy to maintain, even for those of us who aren't terribly car savvy - fluids are easy to check and add, clearly labeled, and easy to reach. The fuses are also really easy to find and check and change. The inside of the car is roomy and comfortable with the electric seats and Windows making adjustment really easy. It drives and rides really smoothly and handles like a dream. It's big enough to make the driver feel protected but not so big that it's bulky or awkward. My only dislike when it comes to this car is there aren't enough cup holders!
