Cons

the wipers and the tires

$1000-$2500 — I accelerates great and it doesn't even shake at 100mph It is very unreliable in the snow and the wipers suck It is the most "down low" car because it looks like every other sudans It is the perfect highway car in my opionion

Sam's Crown Vic — A great car for my first car i bought my self. I drift so i crash a lot and she has taken a beating, over 7 big ones and she still go straight and fast, with good power. When it wasn't all beat up it is a very nice car clean. hard to drive in the snow but owell.

My Land Yacht — It is truly a land yacht, but on of the most solid motors ever built, have had the car a while and not one engine problem and it is just about to break 100k. knock on wood of course!! a very solid body and with that a wonderful ride, set the cruise on the freeway and relax

Keep It If You Have It — Mechanically a very solid car. Has the power to either ease around town or get out on the freeway and run. A bit thirsty in town but very economical on the highway getting about 18 mpg in town and 26 avg mpg on the road. Only complaint really is that it has electrical issues.

Handling, plastic intake manifold could be a problem

Vickie!!! — Huge car, very roomy and comfortable interior (front and rear), gigantic trunk. Strong V8 provides good acceleration. Handling is a bit vague due to ancient rear live axle on body on frame design. Brakes are OK. Very smooth ride.

granny mobile / huge

Too Powerful For A Granny Mobile — This car is a boat, it's huge and has a roaring 4.6L V8 but it's designed for cops and grandparents it dosen't have the best handling but in a straight line it goes crazy. It's not the nicest designed car but it's really comfortable inside.
