2005 Ford Crown Victoria LX Sport 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
6 of 10 people found this review helpful
I bought this at about 76k miles, I now have almost 83k. It is all black and leather interior, just about all the extras you can add. I drove this from Austin, Texas to Pennsylvania. It was a 1600 miles trip and the car was fully packed, back seat included. I still got 24-25 mpg. City driving is about 18 but for a V8 and how heavy the car is, not bad at all. I love it and wouldn't sell it at all. Great power and actually a head turner, probably cause they think I am undercover ;). People do move out of the way on the highway though. I do plan on adding some extras like intake and exhaust etc for even more of a muscle car.

I purchased a used 2005 police interceptor from auction. It awesome driving this thing around, everyone slows down; they don't cut into your lane and they show you RESPECT. Dollar for dollar the best vehicle you can own as large size sedan. Work is required to maintain, power windows stopped working at 149K miles. (Had to change spark plugs at 140k) Since those changes everything worked great! I literally did everything in this car, an excellent beater car. Off roading, donuts, burnouts; I even crashed into a few things and the car was still fine. I sold it because of it's gas consumption. It drinks regular [87] gas like a truck. Insurance was good on this car too. Overall: I would buy this car again, just for fun. I do recommend! PROS: People think your a cop and share the road- Durable and reliable- Parts are cheap to fix/repair- massive truck space- (you could fit 3 full size tires back there) CONS: Poor gas mileage- Larger vehicle (harder to park) On wet roads it becomes easy to fish tail. (Slips & slides on wet roads with all the power and weight in the rear) WOULD RECOMMEND!

Bought new in Sept 2005. Had every option available for the LX, and was over $30k. Got a really great deal and have loved the car. We live 45 miles outside of DC and average 22-23mpg mixed driving, and 26-28mpg highway. You can ride all day and never get tired. Very smooth ride. Use the cruise control on the highway or you will find yourself going well over the speed limit it is so smooth and effortless. It still amazes me how much you can get into the trunk. At 21 cubic feet, it is huge! If you can find someone willing to part with theirs, buy it. You won't be disappointed.
Got me through a rough time

I was definitely not planning on buying a crown victoria, my previous car, died a week before I was suppose to start college, i had a 2000 Toyota Camry, only had 98,000 miles and the car died. I got my 05 crown victoria from my grandmother, she bought a new 08 grand marqauis. I've had the car for a year and a half. The reliability has been great so far, it had 18,000 miles when I got it, it has 47,000 miles as of today, has not had any problems os far. The ride is extremely smooth, car has amazing power, i catch myself speeding alot. The seats are extremely comfortable, and lastly the gas mileage is amazing, on two different trips, i got an average of 28 MPG, I was shocked.
