1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS review from North America
"It's a grand touring car with great road presence and will be added to our growing collection"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission required replacement at the 220,000 kms point.
General comments?
The car is every bit as comfortable as our Lincoln Continental.
Perhaps because of the full dark blue cloth roof (the one year option) over the white body the car gets a lot of looks.
The colour combination coupled with the up-right formal look of the car gives it a very substantial presence on the road.
The engine is responsive to command and certainly has more than sufficient power to move the car out of potentially difficult situations.
We're proud that the car was manufactured in the St. Thomas, Ontario plant.
It seats six very comfortably, and in style.
The trunk is cavernous.
We're looking at having the car repainted as the clear-coat appears to be wearing off.
Also, the aluminum rims will be refinished because of clear-coat wear there too.
