1997 Ford Crown Victoria LX review from North America
"A great full size car where comfort and low maintenance easily make up for the lower gas mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After purchasing the car, I replaced the front brake pads.
Only routine oil and air filter changes since the original purchase.
General comments?
Wonderful luxury car to own. Smooth, quiet, comfortable ride with good acceleration for its size.
Has power locks, power windows, keyless entry, cruise control and even a valet key (won't unlock the trunk).
Only the driver seat has power and the dashboard gages and switches are larger than necessary.
Gas mileage just short of 20 MPG with a lot of weekly stop and go. Approximately 25 MPG on a longer trip.
