I picked one up as my first car, and for what it is, its pretty nice. Don't have many KM on it (16000), but no issues yet. Smooth drive, nice and quiet inside. Can't complain for a first car, besides maybe wanting an ST instead.
If you are getting an auto, I've heard the pre-facelift DCTs are prone to issues and have a lot more stuttering than post-facelifts.
DESU I'm not sure what advice you'll get, aside from people going

For the full-size sedan section, it would probably be worth changing the Crown Victoria spot to just Ford Panther Platform, as Grand Marquis and Town Cars can be often found cheaper and in better condition than a same year Crown Vic and definitely less beat to shit than a P71. Also, if you're going to keep the model years including pre-2003 cars, DEFINITELY DEFINITELY DEFINITELY add the cracking intake manifold (one of the most well-known problems on the cars) to Common Problem Areas and Issues.

I wouldn't mind consolidating the panther platform to one entry under the sedans.
That would create an opening in the luxury cars segment however, as the town car would become redundant

In that case, maybe leave the Town Car where it is but add in the Marquis to the CV slot? The CV and GM are basically rebadges and share everything from the sheetmetal (from '02 onwards of course) to the shop manual while the Town Car has all sorts of weird little bits and pieces unique to itself anyway.
Either way definitely mention the intake manifold for pre-2003 cars, it's a time bomb waiting to happen if the car hasn't had it replaced yet.
