1998 Ford Crown Victoria LX review from North America
"A very good luxury car without the luxury price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My car tends to have less shock absorption in the neighborhoods with slow speed limits. (35-50 miles per hour) Pot-holes are NOT a very smooth ride.
My car is very costly gas-wise. The miles per gallon on the car are not what the dealer implied they would be, and it takes a lot of money to keep her running.
General comments?
This is my very first car. I requested a Crown Victoria because it is a very big, safe, well-handling car. On the freeway and in the city, it is a very smooth ride.
My Crown Victoria is a very attractive sedan and gets a lot of looks. The column-mounted transmission is very comfortable and leaves plenty of room for guests.
