1995 Lincoln Mark VIII review from North America
"Best car I have owned out of seven"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Normal stuff, brake pads, 2 rotors, tires. Just did front wheel bearings, replaced rack & pinon (could have been fixed, only a leak on hydraulic line), replaced air suspension with coils (ride is not as good as it was). This car has been great for maint. and parts are relatively cheap (if you stay away from the dealer).
General comments?
Love this car, will be sad when it expires. I have put on 90K miles in over 5 years. Always in comfort. Was thinking of a Honda Civic for the gas mileage, rented one and quickly decided no way! It's not worth saving a few dollars to get beat up while you drive it (the ride was similar to an ox cart - this was a brand new car also!).
