1999 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor review from North America
"A high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with this car.
Brakes seem to shutter at times (possible ABS modulator problem).
Idler pulley seems to be make sound although this is just an annoyance and not something affecting the car.
Annoyance of rear doors not opening because of police package (can be fixed)
No CD player, just a stock stereo.
No amenities, everything except drivers seat is bare bones.
General comments?
Car handles like its on rails, handles unbelievably at unreasonable speeds.
Excellent brakes.
Heavy duty seats are very comfortable on long trips.
Speed limiter set a 130 MPH, could go much faster.
0-60 time is low 8s which is great for a full size sedan.
Excellent value for a car.
