• If you buy a white Crown Victoria and put a ski rack on it, people on the freeway will think that you are a police officer and will move out of the left lane. The Crown Victoria also offers considerable interior space and luxury at a reasonable price.

• Police cars are not the pinnacle of coolness.

  dependable - 1999 Ford Crown Victoria
  By may - June 26 - 5:00 pm

  I find that the Crown Vic is pretty dependable. Its had a few minor problems. Just recently I had the intake manifold replaced for "free"; there was a settlement with Ford about the intake having possible cracks because it came out with an intake that could crack. Ive had to replace my windshield wiper motor twice within like 2 years and had air conditioner problems; thats about all the problems Ive had out of mine. My Crown Vic gets run hard, it doesnt get babied around; and it still is running pretty darn good.

  1999 P71 Crown Vic - 1999 Ford Crown Victoria
  By 1999 Crown Vic P71 - April 18 - 6:10 pm

  Purchased Crown Vic in 2/08, $2700. Crown Vic has very good handling. I installed extra reflectors that are well placed, interceptor emblems, converted to honeycomb grille, impressive looking vehicle. With the spotlight, dark wheels and recognizable style, people tend to move out of the way or even better stay away. Also installed Goodyear touring type tires, ride is significantly smoother. Performance is very good but seems to shift into overdrive at a low rpm, however push the pedal and the Crown Vic has impressive power for a heavy vehicle. Interior design is basic but with the added center console it is fine. Even though the Vic is a 99 it retains the appearance of newer vehicles,

  Average Car - 1999 Ford Crown Victoria
  By swong - October 20 - 10:00 am

  cheapest V8 full sized car I could afford. Two real weak components and they are the plastic resin intake manifold which tends to crack leaving you stranded. Other MAJOR weakness is the 4R70W transmission which has "torque converter shudder". This shudder is hard to explain but when it does occur (trust me it will occur after youve accumulated 20k per tranny fluid change) it is the most irritating thing going. Ive had my tranny replaced under waranty and it still occurs but am living with this problem until I can squeeze another 3 years out of it until I dump the car. Next time Ill go with Honda or Toyota.

  Rocket Ride - 1999 Ford Crown Victoria
  By highway58 - August 24 - 10:00 am

  Smooth power especially midrange makes passing a breeze. Confident handling at any legal speed makes this car my car of choice for long trips as well as around town. The interior is as big as a small office for those travelling salesman types.

  No longer available to the public - 1999 Ford Crown Victoria
  By skaizun - August 6 - 10:46 pm

  The "cop car", as my friends call it, has had only one minor repair (idle air control valve $200) in the nine years Ive owned it (original owner; 84k miles as of 10/2008), excluding basic maintenance, tires, batteries, and fluids. Not the best car Ive owned (that honor goes to my 77 Pont Bonneville, bought used), but Id buy it, again, if I could (Ford no longer makes it available to the public, although its upscale, sister car, the Mercury Grand Marquis is similar).

  My crown victoria - 1999 Ford Crown Victoria
  By Mary Ann DeShazer - May 10 - 9:16 am

  The only drawback that I can see with this crown victoria is the trunk space. It is definately too small an area to place much luggage or items that you purchase on shopping trips. (i.e.) you cant put a fold up wheel chair in the trunk.

  Not bad - 1999 Ford Crown Victoria
  By gman1 - February 22 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my crown vic for about 6 years now and it is a nice comfortable car to drive. I have never gotten the mileage some are boasting about here, I do about 50/50 city highway never any traffic at 4 am when I go to work. During the summer months I get about 250 miles to a full tank of gas. If I do all highway it might get 300 miles/tank. If I were to do it again I would opt for a newer model with the rack and pinion steering because the antiquated system on these cars wear out parts quickly (ball joints, tie rods, etc.) Ive gone through 2 sets of brakes since Ive bought it so no complaints there. It has decent power but is no mustang. Had to change the manifold and the coils, big $

  HEAVEN - 1999 Ford Crown Victoria
  By tanksher43 - January 20 - 10:00 am

  Best bang for the buck. No need to buy a Lincoln. This has it all. Very quiet, lots of power and comfort. Excellent for highway driving. MPG 29 to 30 on cruise control. I am buying another this year.
