Based on anecdotal evidence, we assumed that the P71 Crown Vic would be one of the top five most reliable LeMons cars, because that 4.6 Modular engine never breaks, but in fact it came in 13th place out of 38.

Still, that's pretty good, beating out such import favorites as the Mazda RX-7 and Honda Civic. The P71 has a super-overkill cooling system, big brakes, and great parts availability, so we'll continue to recommend it as a strong choice for future LeMons teams.


Green = top third of standings
Yellow = middle third of standings
Red = bottom third of standings
