1999 Ford Crown Victoria LX review from North America
"Great car for the money... but you have to know how to take care of them"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing is the throttle body had to be cleaned twice during the past 5 years.
General comments?
I have been shocked at how good this car has turned out to be. I drive the wheels off of it and it has never failed me.
It is very comfortable and efficient. I have never gotten worse than 23 MPG, but usually average 25MPG.
It's not a Porsche or a BMW 750, but for the money it is incredible value... these cars are getting somewhat of a celebrity status with the hotrodders too. Read Hot Rod magazine or Car Craft and you see them mentioned routinely... too bad they've stopped making them for the common consumer.
