2003 Ford Crown Victoria

Pros: Room, power, quietness, cornering, controls, comfort. Good used ones are cheap.

Cons: Not the best mileage but it's a full-size car.

The Bottom Line: I believe this in one of the best cars I have ever owned. The engineering and quality are unmistakable.

Review: I have owned a lot of cars and I'd place this one near the top. Recently my Mercedes E420 was totaled in an accident and I needed to buy something quickly to replace it as I drive a lot for work. I went to the CarMax and test drove a few cars. I ...

Pros: Full size comfort, V8 power, rides smooth

Cons: cars slow down in front when they see the cop headlights

Review: I bought this vehicle used this spring with about 20000 miles on it. Now, it has 37000. So far, everything has been perfect with it. Has only needed to go into the shop for routine maintenance, and to readjust the left front door hinge (no biggie). ...

Pros: Best value in a full sized sedan today. Great ride, dependability,decent gas mileage.

Cons: Needs left footrest,power steering pump noisy, rain runs into trunk when opened.

Review: I bought this car in Oct.of 2003,it had 18000 miles on it.I believe it was a lease car originally. It now has 61000 trouble free miles. This car is a pleasure to drive on a long (or short) trip. I get an honest 28+ mpg on long freeway trips. The ...

Pros: Powerful, safe car that does not make any luxury pretensions.

Cons: Large parking space is required. Otherwise this car is perfect.

Review: Every time I turn the key in my Crown Vic my satisfaction with this car grows. The engine is by its inherent design perfectly balanced with the soothing V8 burble and without the high speed counter shafts that create the "sewing machine" noise on 4 or 6 ...

Pros: Roomy, safe and powerful, this is your father's sedan with some nice updated touches.

Cons: A small blind spot and poor fuel economy.

The Bottom Line: Big family and aversion to SUVs? The Crown Vic is a cost-effective solution to the Grand Marquis and a better sedan than the other domestic lines produce in this class.

Review: You do not have to be a policeman or codger to enjoy driving the 2003 Ford Crown Victoria. Having a family of teenagers and a fast growing aversion to most minivans and SUVs will also do the trick. We put the vehicle police love to hate through a grue ...

Pros: Value, roominess, V8 torque

Cons: dated interior, flat seats, V8 rumble

The Bottom Line: I would definitley recommend this as an option to anyone seeking a roomy family sedan.

Review: In my search for a new car I gave serious consideration to a Crown Victoria. I test drove a model with leather seats and the sport and handling package.
Personally, I find the exterior styling to be rather handsome although it immedaitely says...

Pros: Size, power, bulletproof road cruiser

Cons: Resale value, little nitpick design items mentioned above

The Bottom Line: A good consideration for value, if you know you'll drive it for a while

Review: As a salesman, I require a lot of space. I also wanted a comfortable car for those long trips. Luxury autos were out for fear of being extravagant, and American-made RWD was on the list, also. That really only left one option, the Crown Victoria. I ...

Pros: fit and finish, v8 full frame car (safer than uni bodys)awesome car for the price

Cons: sterio system is a reach and needed a replacement radio twice under waranty

Review: i purchased my crown vic new in the summer of 03 and i love it. i got the base sedan (which has plenty of options)but has hubcaps instead of mag type wheels, manual parking brake release which i found only comes with police or fleet crown vics. i later ...
