1989 Ford Crown Victoria LX review from North America
"Too gosh darn slow"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil leaks everywhere.
General comments?
All I can smell is burning oil when driving this car. I used to own a 2000 Interceptor and can say that was the best car I ever owned. This 89 is one of the worst. It dosn't have any power. I can get it over 75. It has no pickup at all. I wouldn't mind the fact that it gets bad gas millage, but it doesn't have any power to show for that. I bought the car because of its size, but now think it may be safer to have a smaller car that can get out of its own way.
