1997 Ford Crown Victoria police interceptor review from North America
"Best comfortable, powerful bang for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The wiper-motor stops the wipers on the windshield after 67,000 miles
General comments?
The Crown Vic Police Interceptor, performance wise, is powerful all way around. (and very fast---> (over 60 mph.)
From 0-60, the unwillingness of the transmission to shift into the next gear causes the acceleration of the CV-PI to be sluggish.
The car is comfortable, powerful (not quick-for it is heavy)
Overall, it's a true pleasure to drive.
