2004 Ford Crown Victoria Research & Reviews

Overview & Reviews

4.64/5 Average
62 Total Reviews
This Year's Model Updates:

The only noticeable changes are the elimination of chrome trim from the door handles and bumpers and the addition of a mini spare as standard equipment. Heated side mirrors are now optional and side windows receive the added safety of laminated glass. LX models lose standard features like a power passenger seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel and auto-dimming rearview mirror -- but they can be readded by ordering the LX Premier Group.

Pros:
  • Rear-wheel-drive performance, room for six, comfortable ride, excellent crash test results.
Cons:
  • Large size makes it difficult to park and maneuver, dated interior styling.

  • Best Car I ever owned - 2004 Ford Crown Victoria
    By -

    I have owned many cars, including Cadillacs and Lincolns, but this Crown Vic is by far the best overall of any car I ever owned. I started driving in the early 60s when cars were cars. My Crown Vic is as close to the cars of those days as you can get. Very comfortable, great ride and what a trunk! My mileage is better than the 97 T-Bird it replaced. If Ford ever stops making the Crown Vic I will have to buy my cars on some other planet.

  • Last of the best big sedans, - 2004 Ford Crown Victoria

    great car. Excelaent build quality and performance. Very comfortable and lots of compliments on the black on black color scheme. Looks like a state trooper coming up behind you and the road magically clears. On the freeway I average 23mpg. 25K miles and no problems.

    I love cars and have always been attracted to BMWs and Mercedes and Acuras, However, I found myself admiring the CV. I drive about 30K a year. I have had the car for two months and I love the fact the car is big, comfortable, tight, pretty good looking and not $40K. Plus like Mercedes are used arround the world as taxis, so is the CV in the USA. In NYC they beat on them.

  • Consider the CV - 2004 Ford Crown Victoria
    By -

    I was trying to find a clean used Marauder, but no luck, so I found the CV LX Sport. It is a great vehicle. Solid, quiet, large cabin, great controls with the Sport package. Nice ride quality and decent mileage for a V8. Huge trunk. Absolutely no problems to date. The 4.6 SOHC is OK, but Ford should consider putting an optional 5.4 SOHC performance motor in it, but I think that they are phasing out the "Panther Platform" pretty soon. A great value in a full sized car.

  • Big Ford - 2004 Ford Crown Victoria
    By -

    I bought this Ford a year ago and it now has 65,000 miles on it. Everything works is the best running and most comfortable car I have owned. I get 30 mpg on the highway and 20 running around town. Love sitting at stop lights and young kids in little sports cars wanna run them. They get a quick surprise when all they see are my tail lights. I love my big Ford with the huge bench seat and the trunk you can put a small compact in.

  • Police Interceptor - 2004 Ford Crown Victoria
    By -

    This car is great value for the money, especially used; thats if you find the perfect one. Now, this being a police version, it does ride a lot firmer than the standard car, but since the seats are so comfortable, it almost doesnt matter. Being a police spec car also means that it gets all the powertrain improvements over even the LX Sport. I was even lucky enough to get one with matching seats. The wheels on the car do rust quite easily; my car has 159000 miles and there is quite a bit of rust on each rim. The power delivery is very broad in this car, but I found that it loses power when getting close to the redline. It corners pretty flat, but its easy to upset, especially in the rain.

  • Get outa my way - 2004 Ford Crown Victoria

    This big bomber is terrific. I do a lot of interstate highway driving and am plagued by the "left lane bandits". Well, no more. I come up behind other motorists and they immediately move over, perhaps thinking I might be a unmarked state trooper. I can slide on by...and get back to getting on down the road in comfort.
