I would say the '80s Ford Taurus cop cars
they were very short lived thankfully the "worst" I have personally seen the local sheriffs office drug guys make some big bust and get lots of money in they end up buying 3 srt10 4 door dodge viper trucks #1 they werent stealthy at all they didn't last at all, turns out those big v10 motors hate idling for long periods 
I don't think they even had them for 2 years before they were gone |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
New Ford Taurus. Try getting in and out of that piece of fucking shit. Every time...Every fucking time...my radio cord gets tangled in the seat belt of that piece of faggoty shit that has the B Post moved up way further than any sane person would have it. I could go on about the narrow ass fucking seats that destroy holsters or the way it "locks up" after slamming on the brakes and then having to gas it and the engine just seizes, but I'm sure some fucking arf expert will be a long to tell me how I'm wrong. Fuck you Ford, fuck your Taurus, and fuck you again for taking away the CVPI and shoving this abortion down our throats. Edit: The best thing I ever saw our Taurus do was get rammed by some crazy fuck one night in a pursuit. That piece of shit was my ride that night and I never took so much joy in watching a car get rammed and fucked up. I have a few PSP friends who use them and also hate them. Two of them are left handed and claim the way the door is designed, they have a hard time getting to their sidearms (they're left handed), even with the seat belt off. The door apparently slams up against their duty belts and they can't access shit from the seated position. I'm not a cop and have no experience with the cars myself, but they seem to genuinely hate the new cars. |

Like I said earlier, we have both Sedan and SUV Fords, and they have been very good vehicles. Those who drive them love them, especially the SUVs. The maintenance on them has been ridiculously minimal. While I still love the CVPI, the Taurus and Explorer are about as good as it gets.

If you're not a small person, good luck getting out of the driver's seat in a hurry. And forget working two officers in this car, it can be done but it is uncomfortable. No trunk space. And absolutely no room in the back seats. Every prisoner I've ever had has to sit their butt on one side and put their feet up on the seat on the opposite side. |
