Almost as old as I am--still going strong!

"My dad, being a dad, wanted my first car to be safe and reliable. So he found me a Crown Vic. We are the second owners of this car, and it was kept in excellent condition. I have loved the spaciousness of the car, the HUGE trunk (people joke about the number of corpses that can fit into it...), the reliability (I let it run bone dry of oil and coolant; I didn't realize until it shuddered and died; I filled them back up, and she's running as smooth as ever), and the comfort of the ride. The alternator died once, we replaced the battery, and have done normal maintenance, with no real issues from the car. I recommend this vehicle to anyone who doesn't mind feeding it!"

"I have the Crown Vic LX. Its a large car runs well will take a couple hits and keep on coming (doesn't mean that I've been in a crash.)Plenty of space in the trunk and in the car. Definitely knows how to pick up speed. Brakes well. Handles very well for a car of its size."

Grandmom's baby blue Crown Vic

"I am the second owner. The first owner kept the car regularly serviced and so have I. Never any major problems. Just routine upkeep. Drives and rides soooo good. The only complaint is that the wheels that came on it are so hard to clean and keep clean. TOO MANY CREVICES! I have had it for 7 years, and will keep it, even if I get a new car someday. My cloth seats are kind of worn. If it had a tune-up, I'd probably get 27 MPG on the road. I get about 24 MPG on the road. 152,000 miles. Nice Michelin tires and a new $118 Die-Hard battery!"
