1995 Lincoln Town Car Executive review from North America
"Speed, comfort, safety; a great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rare case of brake line corroding.
Mechanic broke the power window line that raises it.
So far nothing else, but waiting to see what else has been sabotaged.
So far just basic maintenance.
General comments?
210 hp doesn't seem like much, but it makes this 4000 lb car fly like a rocket.
It's like sitting in my living room.
I don't like the electronic throttle or rev limiter, but I must admit it has gotten me 24 mpg highway. I get 10 mpg in the city because I never turn the A/C off, plus I leave the engine running a lot. I've gotten 15 mpg when I don't leave the engine running when I'm parked.
I don't like that it has 4 catalytics with sensors, and I also don't like fuel injection; I prefer old school ways.
Aside from not being carbureted, I am very impressed and I love it.
