1984 Ford Crown Victoria review from North America
"A silent luxury tank riding on glass"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When we bought the car, the air conditioner was dead, the stereo didn't work properly, and the bottom of it was rusty. The engine also needed tuned up and the front shocks needed replaced.
All of these were fixed within the first month of being purchased.
General comments?
The car was bought back in July for $800. After everything was fixed, the car has run like new. It is a very nice car, despite the horrid gas mileage (15-17 mpg). It rides like it is on glass and is very quiet on the inside. This thing is a tank and is fairly quick for it's size and lack of horsepower. The torque makes up for the limited horsepower though. All in all, this is the best car I have ever driven and I don't plan on getting rid of it.
