2005 Crown Vic LX Sport - Ford Forums

Just picked up a 2005 LX Sport...
As the previous owner of a 1996 and 2001 Grand Marquis LS (both with Sport
suspension and handling packages)
I rate them as
- 2005 is definitely top dog
- 1996 next best performer
- 2001 was nice... but

Ford has done an awesome job refining the platform

I agree. Keep in mind that your Crown Vic is the last of the *True
Detroit American V8 Metal* The Ford Crown Victoria is the very last
Automobile on the market offered with a V8, full body on chasis, rear
wheel drive w/solid rear axle.

Tried and true technology that is as refined as they get in year 2005.
This type of plateform has come a very long way, and has been around
for a very long time.

No secret why many are used as fleet vehicles for taxis, police, fire,
etc. These vehicles are ment to be tough - rock solid autos. They are
the work-horses of the modern North American society as we know it.
