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.

  • High Quality and Value - 2002 Lincoln Continental
    By -

    Purchae from Ford Executive coming off 2 yr. lease. Front wheel drive with traction control is better than on the Saab 9-5 I owned before. 24 mpg highway, 19-20 mpg in town...not bad for a big V-8. Comfortable in town or on the expressway. Maintained by a local Ford dealer with no surprises. Love the electronic ride control, too. Better than a Caddy at a lower price! Too bad they quit making them.

    Bought this 02 Conti from private owner w/13K miles, w/every option available i.e. driver select, Alpine CD chgr, moonroof, etc. Looked for 2 yrs to find one w/low mileage, mint condition & color (ivory parchment) knowing it was being discontinued!! Its superior (ride, options & performance) to other makes at thousands more. Cant believe theyre not building them anymore. Get with it Ford!!

    Not one problems whatsoever in more than two years. Dealership has good service and warranty has not cost a nickel. Disappointed that FMC dropped the model.

  • Doing The Continental - 2002 Lincoln Continental

    I was wonderfully pleased by the luxurious interior of my Collectors Edition. Leather and suede seats are a super nice touch. The build quality is impeccable along with it beautiful charcoal gray exterior paint. I installed a walnut wood interior trim kit which makes the vehicle even more unique and luxurious.

  • Late md Continentals speedometer error - 2002 Lincoln Continental
    By -

    My speedometer does not register the true speed of my 2001 Continental. 6 mph off. Used GPS to clock. My dealer told me that ALL Continentals speedometer are in error. Ford engineers told me a 10% error either direction was exceptable. Asked to put it in writing, they refused saying that it isnt written and they could not put it in writing. Chkd the Town Car and LS and they were within tenths of a mph off. So they can make a speedometer accurate. Better chk yours or you may get a ticket when you do not deserve one.

  • Dont drop the line - 2002 Lincoln Continental

    This is my fourth Continental and the last two service wise have been excellent!! Have never taken car back to dealer for problems, not even a rattle or squeeke!!

  • A Quality Car All Around - 2002 Lincoln Continental
    By -

    I have enjoyed this car from the very moment I purchased it. The 2002 Lincoln Continental is truely deserving of its name. The responsiveness, econony, and comfort of the car in its class is nothing less of superb. While driving, the car is smooth and fairly quiet on even the noisiest highways. Handling the car on curves and corners, especially at higher speeds, does bring out the cars size, but is handled rather well with its electronic suspension system. It may not be a hot rod, but its not your dads Continental either! If you get one of these cars, make sure you get it with all the options, since this car is no longer available. All in all, this car is a good buy!
