If I were you I'd keep the Crown Vic! I just had to sell our '89 Grand Marquis recently and I almost cried. But that's just me, a Ford lover at heart... funny, my heat just crapped out on me too (climate control unit is finally shot). I don't know too much about newer cars or imports, but all I can say is I've heard good things about Hondas. That's about it, lol, sorry I'm not more informative!
