1989 Ford Crown Victoria LX review from North America
"It is big, safe, reliable, and runs forever!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The water pump has gone out twice. The alternator has been replaced. Other than those and regular maintenance , almost nothing has gone wrong.
General comments?
The car has been surprisingly reliable considering much of the time it has been used for a rural mail route.
It has been a little hard on gas, but I have saved enough on repairs to more than make up for it.
It has a very comfortable interior.
The air conditioning will nearly freeze you to death.
The car feels very stable on curvy roads and at high speed.
