What does Veeky Forums think of Crown Vics?

Driving a mazda 6 v6 I want something with a v8 engine, and rear wheel drive, my sister keeps trying to talk me out of it, but I can get an 2011 crown vic, with around 160k kms for 2k.

I also looked at accord coupe but the one i went to see was an 03 model and those had some nasty transmission problems

god damn nigger we have this thread like once a week if not more

it's a big fucking barge with a lazy but torquey engine that will run basically forever

it doesn't have angry headlights, it doesn't connect to your phone, it doesn't have electronic stability control, you're lucky if it even has traction control and ABS, it likes kicking the ass end out on loose surfaces, it has the slowest shifting auto transmission known to mankind, it exists in a perpetual state of 15 degree body roll, everyone will think you're a cop and if you put a bull bar and lights on it we'll make fun of you and your autism

it has fantastic visibility, it's comfortable to drive, you can fit four full size spare tires in the trunk (track day NO) and still have room for a jack and groceries, gas mileage isn't as bad as you'd think, the 4.6 SOHC is reliable as fuck once they worked out the intake manifold kinks in '03 and easy as hell to work on with loads of room in the engine bay, it's the last car to have body on frame construction so if you live in the salty north body rust won't compromise the structural integrity of the car (and they can all be replaced), carry your shit, carry your family, carry their shit, still go up hills at half throttle like nothing

it's the last remnant of the classical American family sedan, a big car that is very, very good at being a big car and not very good at things that don't involve being a car

also consider: mercury grand marquis (crown vic with a different badge) and lincoln town car (crown vic with LUXURY™ options)

what's wrong with your mazda?

also I don't think the standard transmission accords had issues

but this guy definitely answered your question, with a shitposty flair

It's my moms car, my sister will not let me mod it.

We can't flex in it, we're still on the looking board for which car to buy

Cars we've considered:

RSX, Integra, Acura TL 3.2(03yr), Accord coupe but their a little pricy and we'll have to get like an 06 model so we scrapped that, Honda civic (coupe and sedan, absolutely not my dad has a Civic and we crave something else) Considered getting a BMW 3 series but when parts break they will be expensive.

Camry, Altima, Maxima, Corrola are out of the question.

We want something sporty, something we can slap an exhaust on and race everything that has 4 wheels.

get your own car

I'm planning to, i'll need something cheap for when i'm in college

I had an '85 Chevy Impala in college. It was dark maroon and had two giant, buggy whip antennas on the back that weren't hooked up to anything. It also had, what I call " dog dish" hub caps like pic related. I could cruise into a frat party parking lot with my park lights on and watch everyone dump their drinks on the ground. It was awesome.

First of all what do you want this car for?
If your expecting something that's quick and nimble, keep looking.

If you want a comfy cruiser, this is a great car, though I would consider the GM or town car over the Vic.

They're the ideal car if you have autism

This about sums it up. The only thing I'd place more emphasis on is that they're rather slow. They'll pull pretty well, but they're certainly not quick. They're comfy as all hell though. They're like a Chrysler 300 except with the ghetto tuned back about 100 clicks and actually somewhat reliable.
