1996 Ford Crown Victoria review from North America
"A comfortable and reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The number spark plug wire corroded at the spark plug causing a miss fire.
The water temperature gage failed.
General comments?
This car was probably the most reliable vehicle I have owned. Other than replacing fluids, tires and the few problems mentioned I never had to touch this vehicle. Even the original exhaust was still in great shape when I traded the vehicle at over 150,000 miles on the vehicle.
This car had the sport handling suspension so it handled and felt really nice on the road. I test drove the regular crown victoria's when I bought this one and did not like the handling. The sport suspension makes a big difference, especially when fully loaded. The air spings in the back keep the rear end from hanging low.
