2005 Ford Crown Victoria Standard review from Kingdom of Bahrain
"The "American Spirit" at its finest!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None, the car is an '05 brand new.
General comments?
As you'd expect from "The Crown Victoria", a lot of room for the driver and the passengers to sit very comfortably, with good space for the legs for both the front and rear passengers.
The acceleration is great and the take off from stationary is very good considering the automatic transmission.
Plus, the handling feels good even in the curves.
What I really love about this car; that in my home country - a small island in the middle east - most of people prefer the small Japanese and Korean cars, because those cars usually offer high fuel efficincy and are considered economical for the low income people. Which makes the V4 (1.6 & 1.8) the most common thing on the street. So you can imagine my confidence when I'm behind the wheel of my big American machine with a V8 4.6 engine... It just boost up my EGO :-)
Add to that, the safety that big American cars offer, and the Crown Victoria is no exception.
The very nice design means that luxury comes as standard with the Crown Victoria.
The dealers treatment is very professional and I'm really happy with this car, as I am with my other Ford.
I read many articles about the Crown Vic. before I bought it, and now I think I did the right thing, and I believe it provided excellent value for my money.
