1985 Lincoln Continental review from North America

I replaced the power steering fluid pump at 185,000 miles. There was a minor problem with the reading lights in the back seat remaining on, but the problem seemed to solve itself.

This car has been amazingly reliable. It is pushing 200,000 miles and it still going strong.

Even with the original engine and having so many miles the car uses almost no oil, and other than regular maintenance has had no real problems. The interior (cloth) and paint have held up really well despite constant use and having never been garaged.

I am the second owner, and this is my second continental. I am a teenager and received a lot of grief when buying this car, but in the 2 years I have had it 3 of my closest friends have bought Lincoln's because they loved my car so much.

This car has a perfect amount of power. I can outrun sports cars, and quite frequently do. Anyone who brags how this "granny car" cannot hold its own will be in for a rude awakening.

My Continental has grown on me so much and I have become very attached to it. Even after buying a newer car with fewer miles for college, I cannot bring myself to part with my Lincoln. I would recommend this car to anyone looking to love his or her car.
