I love my Crown Victoria.
My car has ice cold ac, drives super smoothly, has great visibility and runs into just about no errors. The gas gauge sometimes spazzes out and I have to turn off the car for it to work again, but that is an easy fix. The car also hydroplanes a hella lot when it rains, but once you learn how to control it/drive with it, it's not a huge deal whatsoever.

Why you should buy a Crown Vic
I love my Crown Victoria. Nothing has truly ever been wrong with it other than small minor repair . It's a great get around car, but it also drives smooth
accountCircle Sandy O
People need to know that it is a cool car, but it is not for sale and they should stop asking.
The Crown Vick is a very safe feeling car. It is pleasant to ride in. The gas mileage isn't great.
accountCircle Mary F
Meant to be dependable and pull my camper.
I love that my car has moveable pedals and fully adjustable seat. I am vertically challenged so it helps me see better. Also I feel safe in my car.

Crown Victoria is a police package
I have a 2006 Crown Victoria it's a good car but it's very powerful. As long as you keep your maintenance up you will not have any problems.
accountCircle Karen X
It is comfortable, reliable, and it lasts a very long time.
It's reliable. It is comfortable to ride in. It is very roomy.
accountCircle Dray H
It's the police intrepid version.
It's good on gas to be an v8, the ride is very smooth and reliable. What I love about it most is the room in the inside for it doesn't have a middle console so that helps a lot and the trunk is very spacey. And given the year that it is it shows no signs of wearing down or aging for it hasn't rusted at all.

Negative Owner Reviews

300,000 miles. In bad shape. Use to be a cab. Interior is shot. Ac is broken.
It is very beat up. Used to be a cab. Has 300,000 miles. Ac is broken. Dash doesn't work
accountCircle Pat R
I would rate the car as a 5 on scale of 1 to 10. It has had lot breakdowns.
The reliability is not that good. It has broken down on side of the road three times. When it run good, you cannot beat the performance with its v8 engine in it. The vehicle is very comfortable when going on long trips. The features could be update, but it is a 2006 model.
accountCircle Amanda N
Looks like a cop car, black, runs well, just goofy looking
Has low mileage, but is a gas guzzler. Low seats, not comfortable, but was cheap to get.
accountCircle Joshua A
Reliable. Comfort. Good handling.
Transmission and radiator does not shift correctly and the AC works when it wants to and overheats..
accountCircle Justin J

2006 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
Very reliable vehicle. Few small repairs since I've owned it. Large sedan with lots of room. Very large trunk space. It is a stripped down police interceptor, so I had to install a center console. Standard features: cruise, radio, etc... Does have some get up on it. Not an issue going fast.
accountCircle Jamal W on February 10, 2021
It's a ex law enforcement car.
There's nothing about my car that I dislike I love everything about it maybe if it was another color and had bigger rims i'd like it.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Ian T.

It feels very sturdy, the design feels safe and it has proven reliable. As long as I conduct regular maintenance the vehicle has had little problems. The police interceptor look also means that I have not had much problems with irate drivers.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Ian T.

The vehicle uses a lot of gas. I mean a lot. This thing uses gas like an SUV and I feel like I am going to the gas station every week when I only drive 5 miles to work. Also the seats are not very comfortable.
