2010 Grand Marquis in Buffalo

The 2010 Grand Marquis is much like a pickup truck, it’s manufactured in the traditional body-on-frame configuration rather than unit construction. At first glance, it’s no big deal, but the body-on-frame construction tends to better provide for a robust platform. In National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) crash tests, the full size Grand Marquis has garnered the highest 5-Star rating in all five categories for seven consecutive years: driver frontal impact, frontpassenger frontal impact, front-seat side impact, rear seat side impact, and rollover resistance. The Grand Marquis has also received a 5-star frontal crash test rating for 15 consecutive years, 1996 to present. Factor in the standard front seat-side airbags, traction control, as well as ABS brakes, and you end up with a vehicle that provides reputable peace of mind while on the road.

Power and Performance

Powering the LS is a 4.6-liter, single overhead cam V8 producing 224 horsepower at 4800 rpm and 275 foot pounds of torque at 4000 rpm. One facet Buffalo, NY Mercury drivers will appreciate is the standard flex fuel feature the engine is equipped with. This simply means as the 2010 Grand Marquis can operate on regular unleaded gasoline or E85 (85 percent ethanol, 15 percent gasoline) or a combination of both. Backing the SOHC V8 is a four-speed overdrive automatic transmission coupled with a 2.73:1 ratio rear axle. Expect government gasoline fuel economy ratings to be in the 24 miles per gallon highway range with unleaded gasoline. With the standard 19-gallon fuel tank, you can see the Grand Marquis can cover considerable distances between gas stops.

The 2010 Grand Marquis’ suspension system is based upon an independent front, rear air suspension package. Front shock absorbers are nitrogen gas-filled while oversized stabilizer bars are used on both front and rear. Even though the rear axle is a conventional “live” setup, we found the ride and handling to be compliant and, for a big sedan such as this, very controlled. A feature many Buffalo Mercury drivers will appreciate with the rear air suspension is the fact it can level the car with a full complement of passengers along with a heavy load in the luggage compartment.

On the road, we found the big Mercury to be rather poised. It’s certainly no sports car, but it’s definitely comfortable and reassuring. Wind noise is minimal, even at higher speeds. Road noise is negligible as well. Where the Grand Marquis really shines is on the open highway. With four adults and a couple of youngsters in the car, there was still plenty of elbow room.

Come test drive the 2010 Grand Marquis at our Buffalo Mercury dealership. If you have any questions about the Mercury Marquis in Buffalo, please call us at 716-568-2000.

Buffalo Mercury customers who purchase a 2010 Mercury Mariner Hybrid may do more than lower their fuel costs. Thanks to an IRS-approved tax credit, they may lower their tax bills too.

The 2010 Mariner Hybrid, available at our Buffalo, NY Mercury dealership,  is the world’s most fuel-efficient SUV, delivering EPA-estimated 34 city mpg.

The 2010 Mercury Mariner Hybrid model features a gas-electric engine that operates in the EV mode at lower speeds (up to 44 mph), producing nearly zero carbon emissions because the gas engine is not engaged. However, the gas engine will engage on a steep climb or during other driving situations that demand hard acceleration. Other advanced hybrid features include:

The Regenerative Braking System captures approximately 94% of the energy normally lost to friction from conventional braking and uses it to recharge the battery pack

• A sealed nickel-metal-hydride battery at 330 volts supplies energy for the electric motor and at low speeds (up to 44 mph) provides all the drive power
• Vehicle system controller shuts the engine down during coasting and at stoplights to save fuel, converts the electric motor to a generator during braking to help recharge the battery pack, and helps manage powertrain-related functions

West Herr Mercury has been the dealership of choice for customers in Buffalo, Orchard Park and the surrounding communities for its excellent customer service and a fully-stocked selection of Mercury cars and trucks.

The Milan Hybrid was a 2009 CNET Editor’s Choice, which the review site called “a remarkable bit of engineering, economical and satisfying.”

With an EPA-estimated 41 city mpg, the Milan Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient mid-size sedan in America. The Milan Hybrid also makes use of energy that would otherwise be wasted with its Regenerative Braking System, which charges the car’s nickel-metal-hydride battery that powers the car at speeds below 47 mph.

Milan Hybrids sport a Dual-LCD SmartGauge™ cluster with EcoGuide. Important vehicle information is displayed, along with data on the car’s fuel efficiency. Leaves will appear on the display when the car is getting better mpg, and disappear when fuel efficiency decreases.

Its non-hybrid sibling, the 2010 Milan is very economical in its own right, the 2.5-liter, 16-valve I-4 gets 34 highway mpg. Also available is a model with a 3.0-liter, 24-valve V-6 engine.

Both the hybrid and non-hybrid versions of the Milan offer available technologically-advanced features like the SYNC communications and entertainment system and a voice-activated Navigation System with SIRIUS Travel Link. Mercury keeps safety in mind as well with a rear-view camera and a blind-spot warning system.

Experience the 2010 Mercury Milan line at West Herr Mercury, the best place to shop for Mercury in Buffalo.

Mercury offers two different versions of the Mountaineer: a 210-horsepower V6-powered entry-level model and an upscale Moutaineer Premier model available with a 292 horsepower V8. The V8 is optional on the Premier AWD, and unavailable on the standard Mountaineer. V6 models can be specified with two-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. V8 models come equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission while six-cylinder versions are fitted with a five-speed automatic. Both can be equipped with the Trailer Tow Upgrade Package-up to and including a stout 7040-pound capacity version for AWD V8 models.

As you probably have expected, there’s a difference in trim levels between the base and the Premier models. Both come equipped with a considerable list of standard equipment and available options. Some of these features include Mercury’s much applauded available SYNC® voice-activated in-vehicle communications and entertainment system, available seven-passenger seating system (something seven full-size adults can actually use), Mercury’s standard AdvanceTrac® with RSC™ (Roll Stability Control™), an adaptive, intelligent stability system, available rear seat entertainment system and a wide array of seating arrangements (cloth, leather-trimmed, split bench center row, seats with memory features, and so on). And those features only skim the surface (more on equipment later).

Performance and Capability

It is in the backcountry where the 2010 Mountaineer makes its mark. The all-wheel drive coupled with Mercury’s AdvanceTrac® with RSC™ makes trailer towing a breeze. Getting in and, perhaps more importantly, getting out of remote boat launches proves to be a piece of cake. Equally important, the flat load space in the rear of the Mountaineer provides plenty of room for fishing, boating and camping gear.

On the straight and narrow, the Mountaineer tows as well as a two-wheel-drive pickup, but pampers us in the process. Where a pickup tends to wallow a bit in the turns, the AWD Mountaineer is more planted. Sure it has pickup-based architecture, but it also incorporates a fully independent suspension arrangement. Based upon a trailing arm layout, the IRS package is designed so that each half-shaft passes through a window in each framerail. This allows for a lower ride height (in comparison to a 4×4) that translates into a lower center of gravity and, thus, improved handling. As mentioned earlier, the ride “tune” is set up softer than that found on the similar Explorer platform. The ride is definitely smooth.

Inside the 2010 Mountaineer

Open a door on a Moutaineer (such as our Premier-packaged model) and you’ll quickly forget this thing offers great towing and backroad potential. Inside, the Mercury is dressed more like a luxury sedan than an SUV. Case-in-point: The full feature bucket seats are trimmed in leather and include a memory feature. The pedals are power-adjustable with memory feature. You simply set the accelerator and brake pedals to your liking then save the positions into one of the two memory settings. The steering wheel is appropriately leather-wrapped and is fitted with secondary controls for the audio system as well as cruise control functions. The center instrument panel stack included the optional navigation system (available in addition to Premier package) along with primary audio and dual zone climate system controls.

Our Mountaineer Premier incorporated Mercury’s premium sound system-190 watts of maximum output linked to seven strategically located speakers and a huge eight-inch subwoofer. It’s also MP3-capable, but we seldom felt the need for packaged tunes since our Mercury was also equipped with 130 channels of SIRIUS® Satellite Radio (which, by the way, worked well in most of our out-of-the way travels). The center console includes a pair of large cupholders but, more important, it also includes the six-speed automatic gearshift lever along with a comfortable elbow-level armrest. Beneath the armrest is a healthy storage compartment.

As you can see, our Mountaineer is a loaded up package. But equally important is that it’s one SUV that hasn’t forgotten its roots: It’s designed to work on- and off-road, with or without loads, and with or without trailers attached. The Mountaineer performed equally well off-road and in the city. It even made a trip or two to the local quickie mart. Certainly, no vehicle is perfect, but if diverse capabilities at a reasonable price are in your game plan, Mercury’s Mountaineer meets the mark. If you had to pigeon-hole the Mountaineer, it would have to be a back road brawler with a bunch of class.

If you live in or near Buffalo, NY and are looking for a great vehicle at a great price, make sure to pay us a visit at our Buffalo Mercury dealer. We have a wide array of 2010 Mercury vehicles available for you.
