Lincoln Town Car: only make and model I drove until Lincoln stopped making them.
The Lincoln Town Car is THE premiere luxury sedan. It seats 5 adults very comfortably; plenty of legroom. Because of the superior hydraulic system, the ride is as smooth as riding on a cloud. It handles well. Its features include heated driver and passenger side exterior mirrors, driver settings memory, large glove box, rear windshield tray speakers, rear windshield defrost system, front exterior side lights for sighted turns and many other extras. I have driven a variety of Town Cars through the years. It was the only car I drove until Lincoln stopped making this model.

It is dependable, comfortable, roomy, smooth ride.
Love the size, it has a large trunk for shopping and it gets decent gas mileage for how old it is, the only thing I do not like is that it is starting to have problems do to it is age.

Even Though it is a boat, it's a super nice riding car that is super great for long car rides and to sleep in
I like that it's a smooth drive, I sometimes hate how big it is. The backing assist is broken so that sucks, but other than that I love my car

I have a black Lincoln ls V8. I've owned for a year, 2002 luxury vehicle. It has power windows and sunroof. I've had to do regular maintenance on my car such as fluids. The V8 runs pretty hot so water is a must. I had to wire in a toggle for my hydraulic fan.
It's quiet and nice to look at, but very fast without much push

It gets great gas mileage for the size of car that the Lincoln Town Car is.
My car is very roomy and comfortable. It gets great gas mileage. It is stout and not a tiny little tin can.I have not complaints.

The real Lincoln experience.
The car gets great gas mileage. Smooth ride and handling especially when you are driving long distance. I love the interior of my car. Really roomy and has heated seats as well. The stereo system is excellent. Trunk capacity is quite large. I don't like the armrest that is in the front seat. I would like for it to be a different design. The coin holder does not keep the coins in place.

The Lincoln town car. Comfort, performance, sophistication, and style.
The Lincoln town car executive is a great luxury car. It is spacious, and elegant. It is a very quiet and smooth ride. It was said to drive like a boat over water it is so smooth! It has quite a number of miles on it and it still performs wonderfully. The only problem I have experienced is the window's motors have made it impossible to go up and down. I keep them up all the time. This is fine because in summer I need them up for the air conditioner and in the winter to keep the car heated. So I can live with the windows up. I will get them fixed. Also being a big luxury car, it takes more gas to operate. Overall, it is still a great car.

Despite the many things wrong with it my Lincoln still has a good motor.
My Lincoln sometimes will not start and when it does it revs for a few seconds before starting up, it overheats badly and I continuously have to put water in it, does not have central air or heat, looks badly in shape, windshield has a big crack from a hurricane that caused a big branch to fall into it.

Great car. Not for handicapped drivers.
The Lincoln is a great car. This is the third one I have had. It drives great and is reliable for the most part. My main problem is it is too low sitting for a handicapped person. The trunk could be deeper and the backseat needs more legroom. Great stereo system.

My Lincoln All in all I enjoy this car very much.
My car is a navy blue 2002 Lincoln LS. Great luxury features inside, heated bucket seats, dual side heat and air conditioning. Leather seats. However bought this car used windshield cracked first winter I had the car. Passenger side window keeps breaking, will not stay up power button or switch keeps breaking.

Runs good. Nice looking. Lincoln 2002.
Drives pretty good I guess. It is not the best car but it works. One time we were stuck in the mountains for a long winter camping trip and a bear was chasing us, but we got in the car and drove off pretty quick. So I guess it is pretty reliable. It is also very comfortable. The features is a seat warmer, some mirrors, cup holders.

My Lincoln is like a plane on wheels. For better and for worse.
The Lincoln town car has always been reliable to me. I have had it for 5 years and the engine is still going strong. I have had problems with the air suspension but overall it is a good luxury vehicle. Plush leather seats along with the air ride is the closest thing you'll get to floating. Downside it is a very big build of a car.
accountCircle Alexis W
Good car. Does need lots of work probably after 160,000 miles. Always have to make sure you go over speed bumps, potholes, anything like that very carefully.
I love my Lincoln but I have had to put a lot of work into it. Including new power steering pump, cooling fan, rack pinion, valve cover gasket. It's still currently leaking power steering fluid. As of right now still have to put another 700$ in it maybe more. I'm actually trying to invest in this car and rebuild is slowly. Unfortunately it's extremely expensive. Everytime I put something new into it something else seems to go wrong.

Smooth roomy ride with radio sound quality.
It is very comfortable and roomy. Has great sound system. And good acceleration. It could get a bit better mileage but it's not terrible. The windows in it seem to be poorly made or the clips that aid in it moving up and down they have broke four times and they are not cheap to replace. Smooth ride.
