2001 Ford Crown Victoria LX review from North America
"I LOVE it, and I recommend that you buy one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only complaints I have about this car are:
The Lumbar Seat buttons on the side of the seats broke and hang out. The replacement cost is $50 per and since they still work, I'm playing "cheapskate".
The Idle Air Control Valve is messed up, causing the car not to want to start. I have to sit there with my foot on the gas to keep it running, but the part alone is $120 and labor added takes the total repair to $200. I also decided to play "cheapskate" on that repair too.
General comments?
I LOVE this car, and I intend on keeping this one. It is 1000% better than that piece of crap 2000 Subaru Legacy L Wagon I had.
Another BIG thing I want to clear up is fuel economy. I average about 17.5 m.p.g. in town, 26 m.p.g. on highway. Everyone talks about the sucky fuel economy, but I think that's great for such a big car, and especially with gas prices today.
