Rare Limited Sport model


by mixtrax: Written: Dec 03 '02


Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: comfort and value and performance
Cons: no sunroof and cops get mad
The Bottom Line: Ford stopped producing the 2002 model during the early part of 2002, making this car rare and a great investment.


At first glance, it looks like you Uncle Ernie in Florida's grand marquis , and some other times, it looks like the feds or local police are after you, but on the other side of the windshield, lies magnificent comfort, and classic large interior and seating, in leather on this sport model. Look downwards to the (police radio ? lol) and find a leather wrapped floor shifter for its butter smooth 4 speed auto transmission.

This is not Uncle Ernies retirement car, it's a rocket ride. Thats right, police and this sport share in the 235 horse power motor, 4.6 ( new modular technology ) v-8 motor along with real dual exhaust, I wish it were a tad bit louder, like its big cousin the Maurader, but you can add from my research Dynaflow for a slightly louder rumble. Gas mileage has been fair to good, keeping my feet off the pedal is hard to do, especially when you turn traction control off, you can lay one hell of a big burnout, ala 60's and 70's style. The paint finish is fabu, no defects, inspected the engine and it is well constructed, although they could fancied up the engine area and added a nicer air cleaner, ( i would opt for a after market air filter and canister ) and nicer trim in engine compartment would help.

The wheels are 17 inchers and the tires Goodyear, now if you read my article on the 97 Jetta, you'll know that Goodyear tires are somewhat soft and wear faster, we will see how these LS model tires work out. Ive seen the 2003 Crown Vic Sport and i can honestly tell you that the 2002 is bound to be a classic, the wheels on the 2003 are narrower to make way for clearance with the new rack and pinion front end on 2003 models, i prefer the 2002 look my self, also gone are the plush leather seats, they are now ALA Marauder style ribbed leather. SO far i have put on 5.900 hundred miles and have had the first service done, also i might note that insurance for this car was alot less than most cars-- thank goodness for Uncle Ernie !
