This car was probably the most reliable vehicle I have owned. Other than replacing fluids, tires and the few problems mentioned I never had to touch this vehicle. Even the original exhaust was still in great shape when I traded the vehicle at over 150,000 miles on the vehicle.

This car had the sport handling suspension so it handled and felt really nice on the road. I test drove the regular crown victoria's when I bought this one and did not like the handling. The sport suspension makes a big difference, especially when fully loaded. The air spings in the back keep the rear end from hanging low.

Faults:

ABS module needed replacement when I bought the car @ 86500 miles.

A/C compressor replaced @ 88500 miles.

Pitman arm was replaced @ 88500 miles.

Turn signal/wiper switch assembly replaced @ 92000 miles.

Overall, this has been a great car to own, drive and maintain. Heavy duty Police package combined with legendary Crown Victoria ride!!! Performance is very good for civilian use, although many police officers preferred the 94-96 Chevy Caprice as it had the larger horsepower output due to the larger engine. I had a '93 Caprice 9c1 Police Package prior and found the Crown Vic a roomier, more comfortable ride.

Faults:

My alternator shorted out after I put in an aftermarket stereo system.

My intake manifold has a crack in it.

General Comments:

The seats that came with it were the bucket seats. I exchanged them with seats out of a 2000 Ford C.V.P.I.. Now the car is really comfortable.

This car will get up and go. I had to buy a radar detector. People move out your way.

The car handles great and I will replace it with another Crown Vic.

Faults:

Side-view mirror switch only works on left side.

Replaced the ball-joints at 85000 miles.

This is a good trip taking car. We have a 1995 Astro Van that has more room, but the family prefers to travel in the Crown Vic because it is much more comfortable.

My daughter drives this car more than anyone else. She had a friend get killed driving a little car so I bought her this huge Crown Vic.

This is really my 2nd Crown Vic. She totaled the last one when she ran a red light. She hit a SUV broad-side going 40 MPH. No one in either car was hurt.

Faults:

When I got the car, it was due for the 50,000 mile maintenance, things like the antifreeze needed flushed and filled, oil needed changed, the generally fun stuff. I needed new brakes, and tires will be next.

General Comments:

I was initially leery about buying such a large car, especially since I sold my truck because of gas costs. I am quite amazed at my mileage being around 22 MPG.

The exterior is smooth and shaped nicely, and the light gray of my car looks fairly clean no matter what.

The engine has plenty of pep for getting onto the freeway, and it never seems to be at a loss for power when passing other cars at speed.

The smoothness is unbelievable, the car steers effortlessly and drives like it's floating on a cloud. Even on rough ground, over railroad tracks, gravel, anything, it's like it's just floating.

The interior is completely comfortable, with the power seats and lumbar adjustments. It's very roomy and plush.

The trunk is deep and has more than enough room for anything I've put in there so far.

A lot of my friends tell me that my car is an old person's car. This may be partially true, but it is also the choice patrol car of many law enforcement groups across the country.

I only have two complaints about the Crown Victoria.

1. The radio is just far enough from me that I have to lean to change the channels. Maybe that's just because I have short arms or something, but if I really wanted to I could get an aftermarket radio with a remote.

2. On the analog climate control model, the off position isn't located on the blower knob, it is located on the directional air flow knob, right between dash vents and floor vents. So you can't switch between dash and floor without shutting the ventilation system off.
