As time has gone by several things can be said about the Ford Crown Victoria series: including the strong reaction most buyers have towards their car. The 8-cylinder engine is at the core of the strong emotions, it is reliable for its class and delivers a huge amount of torque.

Performance

The Crown Victoria S is equipped with a Ford 4.6 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The engine is mated to a Ford 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Ford.

The fuel system for the 2002 Crown Victoria is a SFI design, running on CNG fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 19.00 gallons.

The Crown Victoria uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

Crown Victoria S Statistics

The Crown Victoria is 212.00 inches long, 78.20 inches wide, and 56.80 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 114.70 inches. It is able to seat 6 comfortably.

The listed retail price in 2002 (MSRP) was $23,150, with an invoice cost of $21,759. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a four-door Sedan.

The standard warranty period for the Crown Victoria is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 36 months or 36,000 miles respectively. This is standard in the sedan market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.

Fuel Efficiency

The Crown Victoria S received a miles-per-gallon rating of 15 - 17 in-city driving and 22 - 25 when it came to long-distance. Being a cng-powered hybrid car, this was subpar.

In Summary

There are several reasons why the Ford Crown Victoria S sold well in 2002. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Ford, specifically a Crown Victoria.
