1999 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor review from North America
"Tough reliable fast thirsty."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far I replaced the cigar lighter (12V outlet) fuse and wiper/washer fuse.
General comments?
As a long time buyer of Japanese cars, the CVPI is a good bargain price wise for a powerful V8 sedan that has balls, and reliability. A bit of a relic by my standards, but that's part it's appeal as well. Acceleration is not as apparent off the line due to the CVPI curb weight, but once you get to cruising velocity keep your eye on the needle or this thing will take off on you. The "Bang" for the buck factor can become a horrifyingly explosive reality. A hot car that will burn you if you don't watch your ass.
