2006 Lincoln Town Car Reviews

Nothing has gone wrong with this 2006 Town Car.

Trunk is HUGE.

Car is HUGE, and very safe/heavy. The first car

in history to earn top safety scores in every possible test for 8-years.

Very good looks.

In town I get 16 mpg, Highway at 55 mph 27.5 mpg, overall my avg. is 22.5 mpg.

Good power and take off for such a heavy car; 4,300 lbs with a small V-8 at 239 hp.

I also drive a 2010 Mercury Milan "Wife and 15-year old daughter's car", the Town Car feels very heavy on take off and steep roads. A very safe feeling when you meet oncoming traffic.

Winter traction on the Town Car is superior to a FWD car. I added 350 lbs of weight in the trunk of the Lincoln Town Car, and it will go places that the new Milan won't. I was shocked at how well a RWD will do with weight in the trunk, with regular tires also.

Traction control is on as well. If someone told me this a year ago, I would think it was not true. I am shocked.

We have always parked the Town Cars that we have owned, over the years, at the first sign of a snow flake, and got in a FWD or our "1990 F-250 4wd Farm Truck".

What are we to do, put 350-lbs of bricks on the hood of the Milan for extra weight, I don't think so.

This Town Car is a fine example of a modern luxury sedan. Very dated, but that is O.K. The Town Car is not trying to be something that it is not, like so many cars.

The Town Car is a big, heavy, body on frame, car that appears to of been driven straight out of the 1970's, with many modern updates. And this is a good thing.

Very safe - air bags ABS side impact protection etc., superior mpg to other types of vehicles that are 4,300 lbs, better use of interior space over 1970's cars, modern interior, without deleting the ride and feel of a big 1970's boat, with much more sure footed handling.

We usually drive our Town Cars to 175,000-200,000-miles and then get a new one. We have had new Town Cars since 1985, and had virtually no trouble out of any of them. I have seen Town Cars go 300,000+ miles with little trouble.

The Town Car is a proven car that has had all the bugs worked out of it over the years.

I just wish that Ford would keep the car alive, but I read that the Town Car has been given only 1-more year to live by Ford Motor Company.

That is too bad, I feel that with some updates, the Town Car could reach high sales again, like it did in the first part of the 1990's.

The Town car must be a Cash Cow for Ford, but I guess that the want to change the image of the Lincoln Brand.

This is too bad.

Shortly after we bought the car I noticed that both passenger side center caps were missing from the wheels. The dealer says that anyone who would drive a new town car, the only car they would fit on, would not take them, I already know this, but criminal people will steal them and sell them on the internet, I have been told.

I don’t know if they fell off or were stolen. These things cost almost $100 each. I took the other two and the new two and engraved my initials on them and if I see them for sell every, I will report them. I also had all four wheels and tires stolen off of one of my company trucks. We had tires stolen in the past, so I own a tire shop also, and had the boys take off all 4-tires and put a zip lock bad inside of each tire and remount it back on the wheel. Inside of the zip lock bag was a note with my phone number and to report to the police. We have actually recovered two stolen trucks this way. Truck is stolen and chopped down. Tires/wheels sold. Tires wear out after a few years, new owner goes to tire shop to put new tires on wheels. Wheels broken down, note found, we are called, cops called, trace down truck from buyer of wheels.

The driver’s seat will pop when it moves on it’s own as I get out of the car. It is scheduled to be looked at by the dealer.

Slight buzzing sound fromt he dash, but goes away.

My 2003, which was destroyed in a fire, (A van parked beside my town car caught on fire at the air port and burned off the right side of my town car), had a free 3/year servicing, the new 2006 only has one year of free servicing.

The 2006’s steering wheel controls are harder to use as compared to my 2003.

The 2006 is super quiet, but so was the 2003.

The 2006 has a cheaper looking rearview mirror.

These car are the only true full size rear wheel drive, body on frame, cars on the road, new, today that cost under $100,000. I got mine for $38,900.

The car is very safe and heavy and has plenty of room.

If I have to drive a car, I could not see myself ever driving anything, but a Town Car. We have owned many cars and have always came back to the Town Cars.

I usually put 100,000-miles on them before I sell them. Our tax lawyer bought our old 2002 "Cartier" and he is still driving it. It now has almost 170,000-miles of trouble free service.

Our old 1995, which we gave to my mother-in-law, now has 200,000 miles of trouble free service, but it does seem to consume lots of oil.

They are great cars and seem to last forever, but I don’t like this 2006 as much as the older ones.
