2004 Ford Crown Victoria P71 review from North America
"A well made, reliable vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only a blown fuse so far.
General comments?
For a HUGE car it handles like it's on rails. The power under the hood is more than sufficient for my needs, and I love the amount of room this car has.
I looked at other Crown Vics with less km, and they were in terrible shape compared to this one. I got a great deal on this car. It has a dual fuel set up for gas and propane, which is nice. I can get approx 400km to a tank of LPG, which costs $27. Can't tell much difference when running gas over LPG either.
When inspecting the chassis of the car, it was apparent to me that these cars were built to last! Everything is heavy duty and where it should be, aside from the rad being a little low.
If you can find a P71 in good shape (as per a mechanic you trust) you can't go wrong.
