1993 Lincoln Continental Signature Series review from North America

Air conditioning compressor failed twice.

Air Ride Suspension compressor had to be replaced.

Two leaks in the power steering system.

Ignition had to be replaced.

Constant alignment problems.

I am a large person, so a large vehicle is required for me to be comfortable. My Continental was more than spacious enough to accommodate myself and whatever I wanted to bring along.

Now - granted, most teenagers don't like driving such an "old person's car," with such a "small engine," but frankly this car handled quite well and drove smoothly. Even beating quite a few sport modified Asian cars from the light (granted top speed was not even attempted).

One problem with having Ford's early 90's 3.8L V-6 is how badly it sucks up gas. This car (on it's digital display) got 14.5 mpg usually. Now when I'm the one running most of the errands in my car, this leads to an enormous gas bill... something no teenager looks forward to.

One thing this car got me on was reliability. Things were constantly going wrong, most of which I described above.
