Overview & Reviews
Ford's big sedan receives a number of updates for 2003. A new full-perimeter frame uses strong, lightweight hydroformed steel sections for the front rails to improve frontal and offset crash performance. Redesigned frame crossmembers and new optional side impact airbags improve side impact crash performance. Additionally, the new frame -- combined with a redesigned independent front suspension and new monotube shock absorbers -- contributes to a smoother, more controlled ride and improved handling. Other changes include a new variable ratio rack and pinion steering system with variable power assist and a new dual-rate brake booster that automatically supplies full braking power in a panic stop. Inside, revised seats offer improved comfort and appearance; the cupholders are new; and a three-point seatbelt has been added for the rear center passenger.
- Rear-wheel drive, plenty of interior space, comfortable ride, excellent crash-test results.
- Large size makes it difficult to park and maneuver.

2003 Ford Crown Victoria Interceptor - 2003 Ford Crown Victoria
By Luigi - October 23 - 10:16 pmForget it, this car by far is the best car that i have owned. Every aspect of this vehicle adds up to its greatness. At the beginning i was a bit concerned about mpg, reliability, and comfort. I drove from New York to Vermont, last exit before Canada. I got 28.5 miles a gallon, even with the heat on. Have you seen the size of this car? It could be -30 degrees like it was out there and it started up right away no flaus and the heat of thr summer up to 105 degrees, no problem. This car offers a smooth ride, and fun to drive. I Love This Car.

Classic American V8 road car - 2003 Ford Crown Victoria
By crunkcar - August 5 - 3:13 pmThis car is so comfortable for long trips that I prefer to drive 12 hours rather than take a 2 hour flight. When I turn the key, the satisfying V8 burble soothes my ears and I wonder how anyone can stand the sewing machine whine of a V4 Japanese engine in a cramped little Honda or Toyota. The dashboard is plain and functional- oil gauge, temp gauge, and a speedometer, with a compass above the rear view mirror; there are none of the electronic gimmicks that other cars are tricked out with.

Owner - 2003 Ford Crown Victoria
By Lee - May 28 - 3:16 amRear axles went bad 2 months after warranty was past, but less than 36,000 miles. The car was on recall for this problem if it was a fleet vehicle, but not for a private owner. Rotors went out of shape at 39,500 miles. Wind noise around the front doors at highway speeds. Its interesting that Ford now gives longer warrantys for the same car. Is Ford hurting? No more Fords for me

Surprisingly Ideal - 2003 Ford Crown Victoria
By Benton S - March 26 - 8:20 pmI bought my green/grey LX because I wanted something more reliable for a long commute, but it turned into something much more fun. Im from an area where winter takes over half the year, and have experienced a fair number of fender benders that havent left a mark! Reasonable fuel economy and luxurious roomy interior makes my car a favorite for road trips, V8 power makes passing a breeze, and the spacious truck can easily haul anything I could ever want. Being a 20 yr old student, I didnt think Id love this land-yacht so much. But no cops pull me over because they think Im a ghost car, and nobody passes me for the same reason! Talk about added safety features. I dont think Ill ever sell.

Comfort, safety, beauty - 2003 Ford Crown Victoria
By Hazel F - February 10 - 6:30 pmIve owned it for 1 year now. Have had no trouble at all. Im a tall heavy woman and the electronic adjustable seats are wonderful. Love to take it on long trips. Gas mileage about 27 mpg. Not bad for this size car.
