This enduring Ford classic ran for nearly two decades before being pulled from the retail market, with the 2007 model being the last. Always popular with law enforcement (for whom production continued until 2011) and the elderly, a roomy passenger compartment, roomy trunk, and an unrivaled combination of power and reasonable fuel economy kept Crown Vic sales strong for most of its long existence. production life.
Main advantages
Creature comfort is the hallmark of a boat on wheels, with keyless entry, air conditioning, power driver's seat, power tilt wheel and cruise included in the base version. Upgrades are available: leather upholstery, power pedals, a power sunroof and more power.
Changes in 2007 year
For the 2007 model year, the Crown Victoria underwent a trim trim so to speak, leaving only the base and LX, as well as the addition of an AM/FM/CD stereo and an optional processing and performance package for the LX.
What we like
The classic look remains timeless and elegant. The capacity for six means you can take the whole family with you, and the smooth ride is secure and reassuring. Also, and perhaps best of all, the Crown Vic has stood the test of time and wear and tear, as evidenced by its heavy use as a police cruiser, which is not the most forgiving use of a car.
What worries us
Braking and handling aren't as sporty as some in its class, and the seats could use lumbar support. The body-on-frame architecture forbids independent suspension. This means the wheels can bounce on rough terrain, though most people probably aren't going to take this beast off-road. Just keep an eye out for potholes.
