General Comments:

I have owned this vehicle since January, 3rd of 2008, and it is now December, 15th of 2008 for me. For nearly 8000 miles, these are issues that I would expect from any car of decent quality that has over 130,000 miles on it, and I must say, this car has earned my respect.

The seats are too comfortable.

The car has horrible gas mileage in the city, but gets 27-29 MPG on the highway.

The car feels very sound and sturdy, it feels safe.

The car is extremely quick, and has excellent acceleration.

This is a great car, I know why Police agencies use it now.

Faults:

The cat-converters blew up.

The fuel pump died.

Transmission would shift rough, and bang and clank through gears.

Auto windows were moody and only worked when they felt like it.

The car had a good size oil leak.

Broken blend door actuator and AC unit.

Numerous electrical issues.

General Comments:

I bought my 96 Crown Victoria in 2007. It looked really cool because it was an ex-cop car.

The car drove fine for about four months and then everything just began to break.

The check engine light was on, and when I took it to a shop they said that the cat-converters were shot, and that it would cost about 1500 bucks to replace (car had four cats).

Around Xmas, whenever I turned on the defroster, the turn signal fuse blew, and eventually the high-beams quit working too.

The A/C was totally non-existent, which made driving in the summer tedious.

The auto windows were temperamental and the car burned as much oil as it did gas.

The fuel economy was pathetic, a military tank does better on gas.

Its only redeeming quality was that it was very fast and people moved out of my way.

The car didn't even last a year. Very disappointing considering it was "Built to Last". What a joke.
