2000 Ford Crown Victoria police interceptor review from North America
"For the price, great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wiring is a bit screwey. Turn on headlights and the high beam indicator comes on. Turn on the high beams and the indicator dims. Also driver turn signal closest to the tire is out. both are probably cause of removing emergency light equipment. Haven't fixed yet because its not really causing a problem. just annoying. Alt voltage looks low all the time and a whining coming from it while reving engine. the dealership is going to test it and if bad put new one in for free. Nothing else, only been 500miles so far though.
General comments?
This is my 2nd vic. last was a 93lx w/280k miles on it before it died-got hit head on around 35mph sitting still by a '04 drunken xterra. My crown vic still ran/drove, I can't say the same about the xterra.
I think it looks much better than the older ones and is built better. I LOVE the PI extras, especially the suspension, this car doesn't know how to sway.
It feels a bit slow to me, but it is around 3800lbs and the 4.6 is kinda small... I drive 300-1000 miles a week on business and it is comfortable enough and has enough room to fit all my luggage + probably 15 people...
