This Year's Model Updates:

The Continental remains relatively unchanged for 2002, its last year on the market. One new exterior color debuts, and an optional Vehicle Communication System (with portable analog-digital phone) is now offered. Available at no charge are a power moonroof, a six-disc changer and an Alpine audio system.

Pros:
  • Plenty of useable features and options, attractive styling, powerful V8 engine.
Cons:
  • Large size hurts maneuverability, unsupportive seats, minimal interior storage, lack of refinement.

  • Continetal Divide - 2002 Lincoln Continental
    By -

    I Test drove every make and model for the last 4 months and nothing compares to the Continetal. Acura, Lexus, BMW, Audi, Volvo etc are all the same. Same interior, Same box exterior, might as well build a generic sedan just change the nameplate. The Continetal is different. It has room, luxury, driviablity, sportablity and an American style of its own. Its a shame some maketing genius doesnt capitalize on the uniqueness of the Continetal.

    I bought this car in 2006 when I was 18 and it is my second car since I crashed my fist car. I used to drive really really fast but no matter what I did to that car it did not back down. I really admire the heavy engineering of that car and I really think its one of the greatest cars of the world.

    At first I was a little unsure about the comfort of this car. However, the more I drive it the more it fits me. It took all of the first 100 miles for me to completly enjoy this car. The Continental drives with litte effort, the vehicle handles like a car built to be smaller and more nimble. It doesnt "float" like other full size cars I have driven, it has road feel and is a car for all roads. Lincoln should reconsider their dropping of this car. The style and ride are 5 STAR.

    As a younger person I would have never thought of a Lincoln but my friend at the dealer insisted I tested this car when I got fed up with my Mercedes and so I did and it was the beginning of a love affair: I love this car. I will drive it as long as I can. I also own a Jaguar and it sits mostly in the garage because this Lincoln is such as sweet ride.....I get 24 miles on the highway!! with a V-8? incredible but true. I had the software upgraded and the mileage is greater than before. I most definitely recommend this car and scold Ford for dropping out of the line in favor of what? the plastic-cheap LS? Fire the CEO!!

  • Great Real Family Sedan - 2002 Lincoln Continental
    By -

    I just purchased this vehicle. I like the real seats(heated also) very comfortable. No console to collect dirt and just gets in the way. This is my wifes vehicle but I really like the auto set seats, mirrors, etc. I dont get in trouble for moving the seat because her key gives her back her settings. LS was too small, and we are not big people, 175 lbs, 5 9". We also like the handling. Hate floor consoles. Cant by an LS w/o one. Plenty of power to pass.

    I have owned,in the past 10 years, Lincoln Town cars. I decided to get a slightly smaller car and choose the Lincoln COntenintal. Is has met and exceeding my expectations. I could find no fault with this vehicle. I do miss my Town car but this car handles better at the loss of some minor comfort. I can adjust things to fit my personal needs.

    Lincoln has missed the mark only in the market they are trying to reach. I am a 46 year old male and this car equipped with the Drivers Select, 5 passenger seating and moonroof is my car. This car isnt made for 60+ crowd and shouldnt be marketed as such. Comfort easily beats the LS (my choice prior to discovering the Continental). Had I not heard about it from my brother, I may have overlooked this jewel.

  • Excellent Automobile - 2002 Lincoln Continental

    Its most unfortunate that Ford Motor Company could no longer build and offer this fine automobile. Design, comfort, safety, and fun to drive, this car has it all! Maybe some day Ford can offer the Lincoln Continental once again! I would sure take one for a testdrive, and if it passed all my tests, I would not hesitate to buy one! Ive had two of them.
