2001 Ford Crown Victoria Reviews
| “This Car Saved My Life.” She was a fantastic car. I was driving down the expressway, ran into heavy traffic and had to slow to about 15 mph. Well, there was a Freightliner behind me that apparently didn't get the memo, and careened into me doing about 60 mph. My Crown Vic. stood up fantastically, and neither I or my passenger were hurt. I even drove it home! Unfortunately, the insurance company totaled it out, but all in all, I had no complaints about it whatsoever. I will tell you from experience, it's the safest damn car on the road! They're actually tested to withstand a 75 mph rear end collision from a passenger vehicle. Unfortunately, what hit me was a bit... bigger. For more info, read my 04' review!
Pros —
SAFE! Roomy, powerful, reliable, fantastic handling, quiet, air-smooth ride
Cons —
Totaled :-(

| “Old Cop Cars Rock!” It's a retired 2001 Police Interceptor (P71 VIN Code) from the Oregon Highway Patrol. I paid $2450 for it! I've done a complete interior swap to the civilian version with new and NOS parts, added the caps and rings, and a few performance goodies (K&N FIPK GenII, Superchips #1725 Tuner, 2.5" mandrel-bent under-axle catback, Flowmaster 40 mufflers, Royal Purple oil, gear oil, and Purple ICE, Optima Red-top, 180* t-stat). I have less then $4000 invested in the car (including the purchase price, license, registration, and title transfer!). It runs 14.85@93.5 in the 1/4 mile and gets 22.5MPG on 87 Octane. The next mod is an E85 ethanol conversion!
Pros —
Comfortable, intimidating, fast, good ride, handles sweeping corners nicely.
Cons —
Automatic, random holes from police service, the shotgun shell I found under the original rubber floor!

2001 Used Ford Crown Victoria LX
I love this car. It was cheap, has been very reliable, and is very comfortable. I wouldn't imagine having any other type of vehicle in the near future. These cars are just too big and comfy :-).
Pros —
Big, Comfy, V8 Power, Cop-Car (Drive with me and you will know), LRA, Relatively Economical (I'm getting about 20MPG average), all-in-all a nice car.
Cons —
V8 sucks down the go-juice like no tomorrow, only a 4AT trans... could use either two more gears or a manual (5 or 6 speed), no Locking Diff, LRA, Big car makes it hard to park sometimes, looks like a cop car.
