1996 Ford Crown Victoria review from North America
"Most reliable car ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering pump needed to be replaced. $500 or so.
Horn no longer works.
Transmission went out.
General comments?
This car is amazing... the engine has yet to stop running. The transmission finally gave out, but I got many years out of this car. Always ran strong and was never afraid to take on long trips. Originally a NYC taxi cab, and made the trip from NY to FL no worries. 1 fix during the time I owned it and relatively inexpensive. GREAT car.. will buy another!
