Engine and transmission Automatic

Faults:

I love my fathers 2003 Town Car. The thing I like best about it is something that no one has mentioned and that is its sure footed traction in snow. (It is equiped with the traction control rear end, a feature which I recommend to everyone in a snowy or icy climate). I believe its long wheel base is what makes it so stable in slick conditions at highway speed. I think the short wheelbase of most 4 wheel drive vehicles make them more prone to have the back end break loose and the vehicle start doing dough nuts. So to me, the long wheel base is the biggest safety feature.

General Comments:

The car drives like a dream but I have to agree with the fellow that said it is overpriced. If the MSRP was about 38 and they sold it with no trade for 33 or so, they would sell a lot more of them. Also, some of the components (power seat motor, radio) are not what you would expect in an expensive car.

Summary:

Horrible waste of space and money

Faults:

Transmission went out, Axel bearing went out, no interior lighting for dimmer control (engineered that way), radio/CD went out, parking assist for backing went out, front brake rotors need turning every 60,000 miles, poor a/c when ambient above 75 degrees, electrical shorts out if washing under the hood, seat heaters intermittent, driver's window switch assembly went out, front grill and hood emblem corroding, door handle shrouds plastic and wearing, transmission "hunts", tires very expensive because they are 17 inch.

General Comments:

There are many foreign cars available if a person wants good mileage, maintenance free and dependable.

If I were going to get a luxury car, I would get a Lexus.

Probably a lot of it was your fault. This car was not designed to be "washed" under the hood. Dude seriously...

You washed under the hood? There's your problem right there. I don't care what anyone says, anytime you wash under the hood you are asking for electrical problems and corrosion. That's probably why your car went to hell in a handbasket. Just read the other opinions on this car, as these cars are usually bulletproof.

Summary:

The Town Car is a near perfect luxury sedan

Faults:

I haven't had any problems with this car. It's never been in the shop as I perform all of the regular maintenance on the vehicle.

General Comments:

The Lincoln Town Car is a beautiful vehicle that stays true to the gold standard of the American luxury car. It's roomy, quiet, and quick, returning respectable fuel economy. I really think that Ford should make this car more powerful and increase engine output to at least 300 h.p. The lower power is about the only drawback.

Summary:

Best luxury car for the price!

Faults:

Air bag light went one. Dealer cleared the history code, with no work required.

General Comments:

This car is one AWESOME ride. It is without a doubt the most comfortable car I have ever been in, or driven. The drive train is smooth with plenty of power on tap for highway driving.

It is fairly nimble for such a large cruiser, and makes you feel very safe regardless of road conditions.

The fit and finish of the interior could be better, however, this car rules when it comes to comfort. Not to mention, a car ride so quiet, you actually forget you are stuck in major traffic.
