2007 Ford Crown Victoria consumer reviews

this car is and has been for years the best car for the money this size-very reliable-although their is not a perfect car this one comes closer than most this size-and it is the closest at the price. these cars do not hold value well and i don't know why-cadillacs are junk compared to this car-very low mechanical cost-i get 28 mpg on highway and about 18 in town-power is there when needed and is a nice ride-although it is big i have no trouble in parking lots - my kids call it a granny car-all i got to say is granny must know something. i am an auto tech-if everyone had one of these i would have to change careers.

Only thing I can really add is that they are wrong about poor traction in severe weather due to RWD. I've used my car twice to pull a truck and a small car out of snowy areas... no problems yet even on thick, slippery snow. Only thing I've driven with better severe weather handling was 4x4 trucks. Ride is very smooth, quiet and comfortable. No odd noises/rattles like small cars are plagued with. Power is available on-demand, no waiting for the engine to rev up to it's powerband like a small engined car. I routinely get 26-28 on the highway and I average 18 on a tank with about 95% city driving.

Fantastic, big car ride with good acceleration and impressive high end power. Looking at this car in the long run, it has proven to be the most reliable and safe large sedan on the market, which is proven by the fact that over 85% of all police departments and taxi cab companies use it. These days, the Crown Vic offers much more value than most compact and mid-size cars. Think about this: the Crown Vic costs just over $26,000 fully loaded with electric everything and a leather interior. In contrast, a similarly equipped Toyota Avalon runs more than $31,000, and the much smaller Toyota Camry XLE costs $25,000; despite a wimpy (in comparison) V6, tight seating for five, and a comparatively minuscule trunk (You could practically live out of the enourmous trunk in the Vic). In reality, the only downside to this vehicle is it's mediocre feul economy, which is really not all that poor at around 21 mpg overall. You just can't beat Ford's top of the line sedan in such an affordable price range.
