Well what can I say about the car, is that it's awesome and nothing has gone wrong with it. But I had to put a oil pan heater on it and that's it!!!
General Comments:
Awesome, and anyone that wants comfort should go out and buy one.
This car is seriously quick and handles like it's on rails.
It used to be a Washington State Trooper car, and they take very good care of their cars.
I love it, I would buy one again if I had the chance.

I bought my 2001 Crown Victoria used with 6000 miles on it. I love this car. It's the first time I've paid a car off, and it's still running like new.
It's got 100,900 miles now, and I plan on keeping this car forever. It still looks good, and about the only thing I have done to it is change the brakes with ceramic brakes, and installed a new serpentine belt. I had the ball joints replaced, and that's it.
I would get in this car and take off on a long road trip. It gets about 25 MPG on the road, but not all that good in town, but I don't do a lot of city driving anyways. It's comfortable on the road, and I don't feel whipped to death like I did in a small cars on long trips.
I am so disappointed Ford stopped selling them. I think this was a huge mistake for such a successful automobile.

Summary:
Best car I've ever owned
Faults:
Power adjust pedals failed at 80,000 miles.
Other than that, nothing has failed, and no work has been done to the car other than regular maintenance.
General Comments:
This is our second Crown Vic. Our first ('97 LX) got totalled after being rear ended : (, and we were so happy with it, we decide to get another and we couldn't be happier.
Crown Vics are the best used bargain around bar none. In '02, my CV Sport sold for over 30k new, and I picked it up for 10k from a private owner. We really like the features of the Sport model vs. the standard LX. Bucket leather seats, center console with center shifter, 17" alloys, steering wheel controls, traction control, etc... This car is loaded to the gills. Just try to find an SUV with these features at that price. Not gonna happen.
The car is very comfortable on long trips, and is a dream on the interstate. It also does very well in town. It's very easy to get in and out of, and has a HUGE trunk that could rival any SUV's storage capacity. The MPG are also very good for a V8, we can almost hit 30 highway driving!
It's really hard to beat the value and reliability of used Crown Vics. There's a reason they have been in production for so long, the design is proven and is bullet proof. It's a shame that Ford is going to stop making them, but I suppose a good thing can't last forever.

Summary:
A solid buy. Well worth the Money
Faults:
Nothing at all.
The car still runs and drives like it did when it was new. Just oil changes and that is it. It will be due for the 100K mile service soon. I hope it does not cost too much. We don't have the income that we did in 2002.
General Comments:
At almost 100,000-miles the car would pass to still be new.
This car is solid and I am glad that we bought it.
The top of the doors are too pointed and will hit you in the face sometimes.
The back seat is not as huge as it should be.
We average about 20 miles per gallon, but about 1/3 is city driving, but still gas is $2.30 a gal. So we may have to down size next time, but for now it is cheaper to keep driving this wonderful car instead of payments again.
We would get a new one, but they are so dated now, so we will just keep this one and drive it till it won't go anymore. We guess 250,000-miles.

Probably more than that if you really want to keep it that long. I've seen odometers on 01s and 02s that had been used as taxis and courier vehicles, and they had over 600K on the clock. The owners replaced the transmissions once or twice, but the engine was untouched. Very well designed cars.

Summary:

Faults:
Drivers door sticks on opening. I haven't taken it to the dealer for repair yet.
General Comments:
This car does about everything I'd like it to. It is a pleasure to drive.
Since my last car was a Jeep, I'm still getting used to the capabilities of the Ford. Anything except deep snow can be handled better with the Ford.
Rear seat room and odd trunk size are a little dissapointing. Drivers seat in relation to the steering wheel and pedals is the best I've had. I've owned about 40 cars.

General Comments:
This car is awesome, Ford has created a hot sporty vehicle in their largest rear wheel drive car. Similar (but better) to what Chevy did in 1995 with their Caprice... and turning it into the Impala SS. The car is glued to the road, handles tight and responsive, tons of room and comfort. Has every available feature/option Ford offers.

I am indifferent when it comes to comparing a Ford Crown Vic LX to the 1994-96 Impala SS. In no means does the Crown Vic handle or out perform the Impala SS, unless you have did some mods to it. The Merauder is about the closet thing to the Impala SS. But, I will agree though the big car is great to drive; they are comfortable, secure, durable, and for the most part very dependable.
