[QUOTE="prez1967, post: 15160139, member: 3028"] Looking for a new daily driver and considering a few options. I've always liked the idea of a Crown Victoria Sport (03-04) as a comfortable daily driver. I"m 6'6" and these land barges offer plenty of comfort and certainly can rack up the miles. The inner hot rodder inside me however thinks I may get bored of it. Currently I daily drive a 2006 Expedition so I suppose anything will be an improvement in terms of "fun" but then theres always the side of me that wants a Cobra. 94-95? 96-98? 01? I have had a 1993 Mustang Gt for the past 15 years, and its not going anywhere. I have plenty of spare parts laying around so a 1994-95 Cobra wouldnt introduce too much of a learning curve in terms of regular maintenance. The 1996-01 cars would certainly offer more power, but I also know nothing about how these motors can handle the miles or if the more complicated motor setup is worth it for a daily driver. I'm a big fan of the styling of the 2001 cars and the IRS should be more "comfortable" but again, i've never really put serious thought into this. Originally my budget for a CV Sport would have been around $5k, give or take. I imagine an early Cobra could be picked up for around that price point while the later cars may have to dip into the bank a bit more. The secondary issue, is my size. Ultimately i'll be the only one using the car but I do have two boys (and a wife). We have SUVs for hauling the family around but should I need to take the kids anywhere (one is almost two years old and the other a newborn) it would be alot tighter. My daily comfort is the main concern, family hauling would only be an issue in a pinch, should I not have time to grab one of our other cars. Suggestions? Tips? Deep down I know the Crown Vic would be the smarter buy, but I cant help but wonder if the grass would be greener entering into SVT ownership. [/QUOTE]
