I have a 2005 Grand Marquis for my daily driver. I have put about 100k on it and plan on 200k more. It gets 27 MPG on the highway, 17-20 in town, and we can fit the family and enough stuff to go on a trip in it. Insurance is better than most econoboxes because of the safety tests. Maintenance has been very, very minimal.
It pulls a loaded pickup bed trailer without any problem.
The bad news is the back bumper fascia has been painted several times from idiots in parking lots scraping it while parked.
If you enjoy the space, a good ride, good power, and surprisingly good handling, this is a great way to go.
