2000 Ford Crown Victoria Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers really appreciate the 2000 Ford Crown Victoria for its reliability, performance, and spaciousness. Many enjoy its power, especially the P71 Police Interceptor version, praising its strong acceleration and handling. The car is seen as comfortable and fun to drive, particularly due to its intimidating presence on the road. On the downside, some mentioned that it can feel a bit heavy and not as exciting as a sports car. A few drivers also noted concerns about fuel economy and interior materials being somewhat basic."
2000 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Interceptor: JUSTICE This car is backbone of the justice system. And for good reason. I acquired this car from the New Hampshire State Police. The Interceptor almost drives itself. It likes to go slow down hill and fast on the straights. Quite fast off the line, and very fast from 40-80 mph. This car corners unlike any car I've had the privilege of piloting. Close to zero body roll, incredibly stable through corners. With posi-trac, air bags, the long hood, and the roll cage tucked away in the posts, it's probably the safest car you could ever drive. The P71is also very intimidating. It's subtle profile can lurk in the shadows or suddenly reveal itself in your rearveiw mirror. It's quite clear why law enforcement agencies all over the world employ this brilliantly designed unmodified stock machine. I tip my hat to you Ford. Well done.
December 20, 2008We own a 2000 Crown Victoria P-71 Police Interceptor Special it has plenty of torque handles well no matter what we throw at it provides us reasonable gas mileage considering it is a 4 Liter V-8, it is made to stand up to the daily sometimes 24 hour operation requirement of some police departments so it is very dependable, it is definitely fun to drive not only because of acceleration but for some reason :) people have a tendency to move over when we are driving the only down side is that some people have a tendency to slam on there brakes when we are behind them. my father liked our car so much that he bought a 2006 P-71 and has been very happy with his choice of primary vehicle
April 28, 2009Used to have a police car. Performance is good but it's not a sports car. It blends in with the crowd, unless it's an old police model, it never breaks down, and averages about 17 mpg around town. My grandma's 20yr old front drive Chrysler was more fun in the corners, but the Crown Vic can at least break the tires loose. Only things fun about it are the spotlight and the fact that it is rwd, other than that it is about as fun as a Camry.

April 22, 2008I didnt mind this car. It was cheap to buy, cheap to maintain and there have not been many problems with this vehicle. Recently went through and rebuilt the entire front end of the vehicle including all rear end suspension parts and the total came to somewhere around 700 dollars including a new steering box. Cant complain, its at 210K right now and still runs like when i bought it with 120K on it. Very reliable car.
May 8, 2015Car is full of great options - you get a Lincoln Town car for less money. only thing different is body style.
July 13, 2023Rock solid car and bulletproof mechanically. Very comfortable and quiet ride with plenty of power when you need it
September 5, 2022There is a reason these cars were picked for fleet service. They're comfortable, very reliable, and tough. They are pretty quick for a 5200 lb car. They handle very well, the ride is smooth and quiet, very little road noise. They have a lot of interior room, you can fit 5 people comfortably. The trunk is enormous, and its a very solid feeling car.
April 5, 2013This is a great car. It's not as powerful as my first car, but it holds its own. It has the "Police Interceptor P71 4.6 V8", which is pretty good performance but still no Mustang. Don't get me wrong, it'll haul like nobody's business. It''s very good build quality. Strong. Built Ford tough. This car has a very sinister look with the black on black (ignore the pink tree in the background) and it's respectable. The cost of ownership is very cheap if you don't consider the mileage (which would probably be better if I didn't appreciate the V8 under the hood) It's a fun car to drive with accurate, responsive handling.
June 5, 2009This car has very good handling, okay braking, and great acceleration. The car needs new tires, breaks, and a few minor exterior things. The car is very clean inside and out. It Gets 12 miles to the gallon and costs 50$ to fill a full tank. This car is very fun to mess around in and gets a little sketchie around 135 mph.
November 9, 2011I like everything about my car. Its powerful, handles good, and looks awesome. My only dislike is a nickel size rust spot starting under the paint in the front Driver side fender. Other than that, this car is still brand new.
