1994 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor review from North America
"A wolf in sheep's clothing!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing other than normal maintenance items, such as plugs, plug wires, brake pads, brake rotors, and tires.
General comments?
This car drives like a dream, especially on long distance trips.
The police package makes this car handle like a sports car, but the ride is soft enough to be comfortable.
This interior has enough room for larger people and is very quiet.
Reliability is great. Police departments have used this model for several years and they seem to last forever. Many of these cars have well over 250,000 miles on them and are going strong.
The 1994 and 1995 models of this car seem to be the most reliable. Changes made to the suspension and transmission after these model years up to 2000 seem to be in the wrong direction.
The traction control works great in the snow, but the rear end gets loose on icy roads (like most rear drives).
The trunk is huge.
I'll definitely buy another one if I ever wear this one out!
