1998 Lincoln Continental review from North America
"A good bargain when buying used"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cracked headlight.
Replaced the trunk deck due to cracking fibreglass.
Replaced the engine belt idler.
Repaired/replaced the cup holders.
Rattle in the dash.
General comments?
4.6 develops 260 horse, but really only noticeable above 60km.
Prior to that it feels that the computer limits the power and really begins to surge about 40km/hr. Excellent passing power.
Very comfortable and gets good fuel economy for a car this size.
Quiet at highway speeds and the engine has a nice growl when throttling up.
