1990 Mercury Grand Marquis LS review from North America
"The car is truly the king of the road!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The window motors went out around 85000 miles.
I had the transmission rebuilt at 95000, and right after that had an exhaust leak (caused by the people who rebuilt the transmission).
The speedometer is about 5mph off, but the interior looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor.
General comments?
We found this car by accident, and at first I was hesitant, but after driving it I have to say that this car is the epitome of excellence. It has a very powerful engine, and is perfect for fish-tailing around corners.
It is also by far the most comfortable car I have ever ridden in. I love the looks I get from other drivers as it towers up along side their Civics and Corollas. Not to mention the style of the car isn't bad either, and despite the minor problems I've had with it, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
