1996 Ford Crown Victoria police interceptor review from North America
"A sporty, fast car for people who like comfort."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My harmonic balancer cracked at 190,000 miles.
The transmission cooler started leaking and had to be replaced at 189,000 miles.
The top radiator hose blew, but the car didn't over heat going under 20 miles per hour.
General comments?
The car is fast enough to beat a lot of imports and domestics.
It handles very good, and is very predictable through hard turns.
The seats were comfortable, but a pair of sheep skin covers made it very comfortable.
The car had no center console when I purchased it, so I bought one and it is kinda comfortable.
