    Awesome Practical utilitarian big ride

    I have owned quite a few cars, but the crown vic lx sport one is the closest thing to luxury without breaking the bank. V8 power which is plenty sufficient for a daily drive. Plenty of room for driver and passengers and a huge trunk!

    Nice car for the money.

    2004 Ford Crown Victoria I needed a new used car lol, since I couldn?t really afford a new one , this car had a great a maintenance record. These cars are pretty solid, mine is not a police interceptor , but it has the bones. I like the v-8 engine , and it gets about 21.5 mpg, which is what my old v-6 was getting. It does not have all the electronics that the newer vehicles have , but for the price I?m good with that.

    Full Size Comfort - Easy on the Budget

    The Sport version is the best value with leather and more. The best part is the Sport gives you a center console and the shift lever in mounted on the console NOT THE COLUMN!

    very reliable and cheap to maintain

    I have an LX Sport and love it. It does not have chrome, so does not feel like an old mans car. Only wish it came with a spoiler. I owned a 95 CV before and loved that so much I wanted another.

    2004 Crown Victoria LX

    I bought my first CV just a day ago. For the 108 mile drive home I got exactly 30 mpg! And this is a car with 140K on it. So, yes, the 30 mpg highway is absolutely true (driving at 60-65 mph, 92 octane fuel). Given all the features and comfort, engine performance and reliability, and genral longevity, this car is hard to beat.

    King Supercar

    This is the best year of the Crown Vics (last year before the drive-by-wire yet still with all the updates). These cars are possibly the most reliable cars made and certainly the best freeway car. Also the best car ever made for road respect. You have safety, power, reliability, and reasonable gas mileage for a big car. One other thing....other than the Porsche 944, this is the only car with almost a perfect 50/50 weight distribution front to rear, so handling is predicable. Big disc brakes that never warp, an engine that never breaks, rear-wheel drive, and body on frame construction.....no wonder the cops lived in these cars until Ford stopped making them. They are everywhere right now, but soon they will disappear and become a collector's car. If you have never drive one, do so while you can. They are the last of the American (Canadian made) full-size rear-wheel full frame land yachts that used to be the family (and government) car. I have one, and I know that once it is gone, I will never get another. RIP Crown Vic.
