This post has now set an all-time record for car recommendations. There have been 20 responses to the OP and not one recommendation for a Ford Crown Victoria.
Probably only because you can’t buy new ones anymore 
I was thinking or recommending a Ford Fusion hybrid. If the OP is going to consider a Camry hybrid, the fusion is worth looking at too.
