Built for both safety, performance & comfort, this car runs very well with quick acceleration, stops straight and the original A/C still works well. We had a problem with a window-lift motor at about 283K miles but very little else has been problematic. This car has given us excellent riding comfort for over 17 hours in one day while steering precisely and starting smoothly.

05 LX Sport. My favorite car
An absolutely fantastic car. I've owned the car for almost two years and only two repairs (air suspension compressor failure) and replaced a leaky valve cover gasket. Very cheap to operate and maintain. The reliability has been fantastic. Normal maintenance goes a long way. Parts are cheap and easy to work on.
I absolutely love the look of the car; it's rare to see a car like this one. The LX Sport models are difficult to come by, but they have most of the handling and performance upgrades that the police versions do along with a leather interior.
While this is no racecar, the V8 is very satisfying. The interior is very roomy and the trunk could probably hold 3 grown men. It also feels very sturdy on the road,moreso than many modern cats. It's simply a very well built, no frills car, unlike anything else. I highly recommend upgrading the rear control arms to 'wake up the car'. I wish I could have bought it new.

2005 crown victoria, Ford
Nice running car, comfortable. Good gas mileage. I am only unhappy with the original paint job that paint flakes off. I even tried some primer, then white paint from ford and nothing sticks to the flaked off areas. Great advertisement for Ford to have a paint job that is not quality. For the future, I will not be buying a Ford, even though I have driven one since 1988.

Rear Wheel Drive Classic
Have owned vehicle for 10 yrs and in all that time only one problem has arisen which is unfortunately an expensive one to fix. Crown Vic's and Mercury Marquis have factory defect climate control systems which show up after about 10 yrs. Since it's not a safety defect Ford won't recall them. The day I brought mine into the dealer, there was another customer explaining to the service mgr the exact problem mine was being serviced for. What a shame otherwise the car is 5 stars for mileage, power, drive train and handling in snow.

Can't Buy Another One
This model was sadly discontinued by Ford. The car has never given me trouble on the road. I've always gotten where I was going. I have had some minor things done to it, but nothing major or costly. Everyone who rides in it is amazed at the comfort and room. They don't make them like this any more sad to say. I'll be hanging on to this as long as I can.
