I'm 6'3", and if I wanted to buy any other car I could fit into, it would cost me about twice as much or more.

I'm a big guy myself, and I stick with the Crown Vic. Unlike the Taurus, the Vic's powertrain is bulletproof.

Yeah. I owned a Crown Vic once. It cost a lot more than the Taurus though. I got a new Taurus last year for about $14,000.

Of course, that was a discounted price. My father is a Ford retiree. But it would have been a good price even without the discount.

I'm 6'2" and my Sable (Mercury version of the Taurus) fits me fine too.
I'll probably look at the Gran Marquis or Crown Vic. This `95 hasn't given me a lick of trouble and I drive it hard. (3.0 engine.)

Friend of my brother's bought a Crown Vic at a police auction. An unmarked policecar that still had the "I support the Police Department" bumper sticker and the Brotherhood of Police Officers window sticker on it.

Awesome ride and it was absolute badass on the open road!
