Cons

I can't think of any.

A Great All Around Vehicle. Looks, Comfort, Good Fuel Economy. Very Quiet Ride. — Really great car. You don't find a 4 door car with bucket seats & console. Dual power & lumbar. 6 disc changer + single in dash + cassette. HVAC, cruise & radio (with RDS) functions on the steering wheel. Air ride suspension and 5 spoke aluminum wheels. 4 wheel disc brakes. Auto headlights. Switchable traction control. Electrically adjustable pedals. 4 wheel disc brakes. Heated mirrors. The 4.6 liter V8 has AMPLE power and handles great with the 235 X 17 Continental Touring tires. Auto climate control is fantastic. Quiet, smooth & responsive. I really like this car. As an added bonus, it looks like a cop car. I see more brake light in this car than any car I've ever owned.

Yes, Ford Made A Crown Vic Sport - Aka Rolling Envy. — A solid effort by the Ford Motor Company. The Sport model has additional power and performance. Has 235 BHP stock and i have added a cold air intake bring the new total to 250 BHP. Obviously a solid ride with plenty of room - trunk space for about 7.3 bodies. The ride is not a smooth as one might assume. the sport pachage has made considerable providsion for handling performance. Just days ago i had an opportunity to push it on a country road and it was beyond any expectation. For the weight is handles extremely well. It also has 4 wheel disk and 17inch wheels. Interior has many extras. Consol shifter, climate control, leather w/6 way front buckets, six disk changer with premium sound, climate and stero controls on steering wheel, telescoping pedals. Fuel economy is not the best. On the interstate is will strech its legs and pull about 26 around town likely 15 but i have a heavy foot so 10 is likely. These days that puts a damper on it.

Everyone Should Own One :) — car is a beast and very reliable... not the fastest or best thing out there but for the price, its worth it, everyone stares and gives it respect... with 145k on it no squeeks or rattles of any kind what so ever, runs and drives like brand new

Fast — Great pick up,brakes could be better,rides like a cream puff.No repairs except the norm.This car is hot inside and out.I paid 5 grand for this car and its worth every dime. 18 and 20 gas milage, not bad better than my E350 superduty.When a Mustang pulls up nezt to u and you do that nodd, and just flat out waste him off the line and he cant keep up, Now thats fum.

Great Car! Fun To Drive When You Get To Know It — RWD and performance make the car fun to drive when you get to know it. It has a spacious interior. Limited options on the police pack makes it kind of bad. Highway fuel usage is impressive for a v8. In the city, it is pretty bad though

Good Car, Really Heavy — Power, like 0-30 is kindof slow. aft 30 it hits off really well, till about 110. then it glides to 120. Heavy as hell one of the disadvantages, in the rain it gives it a hell of a lot of traction being a rear wheel drive car.
