Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Low price, rear-wheel-drive performance, standard ABS, room for six, comfortable ride, excellent crash test results.

Cons

Large size makes it difficult to park and maneuver, dated interior styling.

What’s new

No major changes for the Crown Victoria this year.

Edmunds says

One of the last traditional rear-drive, body-on-frame full-size sedans, the Crown Vic is a favorite of taxi cab drivers, police departments and those looking for a lot of room at a reasonable price. However, those with more money to spend on a V8 sedan will prefer the modern, stylish Chrysler 300C.

2005 Ford Crown Victoria LX Sport 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

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 …

2005 Ford Crown Victoria LX Sport 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

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 …

2005 Ford Crown Victoria LX 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

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 …
