I agree, the LX-Sport model is awesome to own/drive/ gets more positive comments from strangers than any car I have ever owned. What a shame it is known as Fords " best kept secret"!

There is always something faster out there. Yesterday I parked my 04 lx sport next to a lamborgini twin turbo, but you couldn't pay me to use that car as a daily driver.

I am about to purchase a 2004 crown vic and I am almost sure it is a "sport" edition; it has the 17" rims and dual exhaust, along with the shifter in the center console. How can I be sure it's a sport? Does the VIN# specify it at all?
Thanks.

Thanks for the response. The car looks great and has 29k on it. Do you have any suggestions on specific "things"/problems I should look for when I look over and drive the car?
Thanks-

I just traded my 2000 Crown Vic LX for a 2004 Criown Vic Sport, and I abosolutly love it. I thought my 2000 ran good, but the 2004 has a spirited snap to it when you hit the gas. The changes in differential gearing and and torque converter stall speed are well noted, and the stifffer suspension makes the car feel smaller and more agile. This is my 8th CV, and it is the best yet.

Dear All.
I just bought a Crown Vic 2003 LX Sport Today. I am the third owner and I paid 10K for it. What do you think about the price?
It is my first car and I always love CV.. They are awesome.
Any comments regarding maintenance on this vehicle? Any issues I need to be aware of in the 2003 model?
Cheers.

I bought my '04 LX Sport USED in '04, almost as a fluke. I was very anxious about buying a 'Grandpa' car at the time (after having driven Infinits and Volkswagens, etc.), but now that I've owned it for 4 years, I can say that I've never owned a better car for the money. Roomy, easy and fun to drive, not bad looking, inexpensive to own and maintain, and some people even think I'm a cop in my Dark Toreador Red Sport---what's not to like?

I got this 2003 CVPI at 80K. Very stable and quiet. Acceleration is normal, but once on highway, it's the king. MPG is poor in the city, and pretty nice on highway. Anyway, totally love this car.

Not even the TC is made in the US anymore, but all the same the Panther platform cars will outlast any car from Honda, Toyota, or Nissan. I live in Ontario, and I have a 2004 example purchased from the Ontario Provincial Police. These cars go, and they don't break. The enthusiasts say, "A Crown Vic will outlast anything, so long as you change the oil." I live in Oshawa, and they build the Impala here. I even work for one of GM's subcontractors, and I will tell you, the 9C1 Impala does not stack up to the P71 Crown Victoria. And while the fuel economy isn't spectacular, the Impala isn't much better and even a car like the Cobalt only gets about 6mpg better than a CV. I will continue to buy these bulletproof cars until Ford stops building them.
