1986 Mercury Grand Marquis LX review from North America
"Freakin' AWESOME"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced all cooling hoses and the heater core just for safety August 2009.
Replaced the ORIGINAL alternator in June 2009.
Replaced the ORIGINAL battery in June of 2009.
Rebuilt the cruise control/horn power contact behind the steering wheel September 2009.
Rear window electric motors need to be replaced.
General comments?
Phenomenal power out of such a small v-8.
Comfortable ride, it feels like it's floating down the road.
The takeoff power is great for this size of car.
I am getting approximately 32 miles per gallon fuel mileage.
I would not hesitate to get in this car and make a cross country trip at any point in time.
