Very well built, hardly ever breaks down.
Smooth ride, good gas mileage, runs quiet, seats are very comfortable with multiple adjustments, leather interior, really nice music system, lot of trunk space.

Former police cars are better than you think.
For a former police car it was extremely well taken care of before I bought it. The engine is easily modifiable to overcome the low power levels of the engine, the vehicle was originally ordered with an open differential and lower gear ratio which helped with the fuel economy and top speed but can easily get stuck in snow. Versions ordered with the higher gear ratio automatically received the locking differential and would have no issues with this. The ride is very comfortable and it is easy to spend all day driving.

Lights come on automatically if you touch handle or unlock door. They go off.
It looks really great. Very comfortable and driver's seat can be adjusted to fit your particular needs. Air conditioner works great. Electric windows all work. Beige interior with cloth seats. You can open trunk from inside as long as you do not lock it from inside or use key on outside to open.

It is good on gas on the highways.
The size, power, comfort, reliability, image, and looks are all positive reasons for my having this car and it's an american make.

Great ride with room to hold passengers and packages/groceries/golf clubs.
Love the roominess and power of the vehicle. Very comfortable ride. Trunk space is outstanding. As car ages it is becoming more expensive to maintain and there is nothing on the market comparable anymore.

Reliable, American made.Can easily find parts and it is easy to repair.
It is very reliable, even though it is 14 years old. I love that my husband can fix it easily, and get parts fast. Very comfortable, it all works still!

Old cop car. You really have to get the feel of this car. Lots of space.
I like that there is plenty of room in front and back seats. Love the trunk space. What I don't like is when it's raining the car slides and the brakes stick. And also the headlights malfunction as well as the wiring for the windows.It's a good car all in all.

It's the best brand on the road today.
I really like the vehicle for multiple reasons. First reason that its small. Second reason that it does not take up gas.
accountCircle Kathryn G
It has a very good strong motor and drives well. Also I love all the space it has, especially the extra large trunk.
It is a nice dependable car and has lots of passenger space. It has lots of horsepower and drives well, but it doesn't get very good gas mileage.

Ford made. It's easy to find parts and get it fixed.
It runs! Drove it on a long vacation- with a/c, and it did wonderful. Windows all work, heat, wipers, all of it. Starts every day- very dependable.

Has Leather seats and performance is very well
My car is a 2004 Ford Crown Victoria it has been registered to one owner and minor problems here and there like the steering pump going out, the A/C going out but other than that I have taken real good care of this vehicle. The interior is leather seats and very comfortable. The performance of this car is very well except when you have to turn since the vehicle is very long.
