A classic highway cruiser, the rear-wheel-drive Grand Marquis is built on a full frame and is powered by a 4.6-liter V8. A compliant ride, a huge trunk, and substantial trailer-towing capability are its major advantages. Handling is fairly clumsy and the steering feels light. The front seat is a bench. The rear seat is not as roomy as you might expect in a car of this size. For 2001, the Grand Marquis picked up more power and optional adjustable pedals. 2003 brought a pseudo-sporty version called Marauder, which was quicker but felt little different from the regular model.
