Patricia V

Great vehicle for safety and comfortable drive.

Although this vehicle is no longer produced, it is reliable, sturdy and easy to drive. The adjustable seat makes it easy to find a comfortable driving position. Lumbar support is great. The side view mirrors are adjustable from the inside on the left drivers side armrest. It has airbags, traction control, a rear window defogger, and multi speed windshield wipers. The Crown Victoria has a very large trunk and lots of legroom. Handling on this vehicle is wonderful. It is easy to take around corners and easily handles during highway driving.

It's a great car and it is a Ford, the greatest brand in the world.

I like that it's a Ford. It's good on gas mileage. It has the radio controls on the steering wheel.

John Smith

It’s SOOO tight!

If there was ever an automobile I wanted to make sweet, powerful, monkey-love to, the Ford Crown Victoria would be it.

Pierre R

It drives really nice and smooth and the color is beautiful.

I like the way it drive, it drives real smooth. I dislike the fact that it burns too much gas.

Anan B

It's willing to race you anytime.

I love my vehicle because my son gave it to me and it is paid for an real fast with police interceptor in it and it looks cool in both spotlights work.

Christina A

Older version of crown Victoria, spacious and smooth ride.

Smooth ride, no frills interior, v8 engine, not many features. Ac runs very cold need to watch how fast you are going don't even realize how quick you are going. Large four door sedan, with lots of legroom and spacious trunk space. My version of the crown Vic is a police interceptor.

Della B

It's very spacious, but the mpg isn't great.

It's large and comfortable, but it uses a lot of gas and the turn radius isn't great.

William G

Big on everything even on your pocket book.

Its big and has lots of room the gas mileage is terrible. It runs really smoothly any very reliable. The trunk is very big. It has lot of speed. I likes lots of oil. Great on long drives. Power seats and windows are really slow. Power windows like to get stuck.

No selection for correct vehicle

This is not exactly the vehicle we have. There was not a selection for the vehicle we own so this review probably won't help.

Emily P

Crown Victoria spacious, reliable, and comfortable.

The car is spacious and comfortable. It has a huge trunk. The handling is not the best. The cruise control stopped working ages years ago. The car has not had any major mechanical issues since I got it in 2001. It is not great on gas. It has power windows.

The amazing Ford Crown Victoria

The Ford Crown Victoria is a very reliable vehicle. It has a V8 engine and runs like a joy ride. The parts for this car are kind of cheap depending on what part you need and there are tons of crown Victorias out there so finding one in the junkyard for parts shouldn't be a problem. The car is very spacious. There is enough room to kick back and relax and not be uncomfortable. Also the trunk is very spacious, it can hold just about anything as long as 6 foot. The car runs smooth and never gives us a problem, we have never been left stranded because the car is very good at getting us from place to place. It gets very good gas mileage, so you will be able to save a ton of money overall it's a good car

Jose R

Great older vehicle with a great engine built for comfort and driving pleasure.

Good, reliable running car to get from point A to point B. Enjoy its smooth ride when I hit the freeways and toll roads but it is getting too old.

Brian R

The transmission is fast to cause problems. The car also has electrical problems.

I like the comfort. I hate the size. I have the gas mileage. I hate that it always needs repairs.

Owen B

It is something I got for a reasonable price and still does beautifully.

The car has lots of miles and still runs like a champ. There's a few minor things that still need replaced, as it does have a slight miss but it does not change the overall performance of the car.

Tiffany B

For being an 01 and having 250, 000 miles this car is a tank!

This car lasts forever! It runs great with little issues and always gets my family where we need to go. Although it is older and I would like things like a better stereo, those are only minor details. It is comfortable and has lots of space which is definitely a must need, considering kids and even animals.

A Very Timeless Car, The Good, The Bad, And The Relentless.

The Ford, Crown Victoria is a reliable vehicle that handles well and last a long time that's why they have been used in service for many years by the police around America. For an almost 20 year old car to be still running well with little to no work done to it says something in itself, the Crown Victoria has comfortable seats and a vintage inside, it also has very good acceleration. The only downside is the car isn't a very nimble one, it's kind of like driving a small boat, long and bulky, with that aside the car won't quit on you, and it's very recommend.

Great vehicle for safety and comfortable drive.

DeAnn K on December 3, 2020

I am very sad to say, unfortunately, it is not made any longer.

I love my vehicle, but it's a Mercury Villager, which was not an option on your survey.

Is The 2001 Ford Crown Victoria A Good Car?

Yes it's a very good vehicle. Very reliable durable. Hey mileage is pretty great I would say. Few problems with these

Yes it is a gas guzzler but it's a safe vehicle for anyone. I've had mine for years and seldom have any issues mostly cosmetic.

Amanda E.

How Reliable Is The 2001 Ford Crown Victoria?

I said few problems in my last statement so that probably meant that if they're are any problems they are minor enough to not actually be considered a problem.

Clay W.

Mostly cosmetic problems. The suspension can become a major issue if not taken care of properly but overall it's still a great vehicle

Daniel P.

Is The 2001 Ford Crown Victoria A Good Value?

Approximately $2000. Yes I would considered it to be noting that there was no damage to the vehicle when purchased and the miles on the car we're only 140'000, and for that to be a 2001 that's pretty... Read More
