96' to a 03'......big difference ???

[pollitosrus]

I was driving a 96 crown Vic for a couple of years and now I am making the jump to a 2003. Does anyone have any advice for me or any major changes I should be aware of ???

Thanks

I also jumped from the older body style to a more recent Crown Vic.

Aside from moving to the modern body style, the most significant change was slightly lower fuel economy. My fuel economy went down about 10%, from about 22-23 mpgge to 20-21. This occurred notwithstanding the fact that my older car had 189k miles compared to 60k for the newer car.

Other Crown Vic threads show this change.
