1997 Lincoln Mark VIII review from North America
"This is a great car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Crank sensor failed at 89000 miles.
Ignition coil failed at 90000 miles.
General comments?
This car has plenty of power. You can roast the tires all day. It can run with some pretty fast machinery. Also the car handles very well.
Traction control is useless in the snow. When you try to go up a hill it just locks the rear wheels.
Easy to lose control in slippery conditions if not driven properly.
