Overview & Reviews

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.

• Plenty of useable features and options, attractive styling, powerful V8 engine.

• Large size hurts maneuverability, unsupportive seats, minimal interior storage, lack of refinement.

  I purchased this car in Nov. 01 and its been great. Really dont understand Ford decision to stop making such a nice car. Would buy another, if given the chance.

  Satisfied Comsumer - 2002 Lincoln Continental
  By louis stoecklin - September 27 - 6:00 am

  This Lincoln has been a true pleasure to own and operate. I have owned this car since it was brand new from the Dealer to me. No major problems and no warranty issues at all. I went and had this car serviced as required and its performance was indeed a pleasure. Just before 100,000 miles I had services preformed and the dealer found items to replace under warranty and all were done at no cost to me, they even provided a loaner while work was done. This car again drives as new and all I had to do was replace the front tires. Rear tires have 100000 miles on them and are still going. Great investment and great car to own, to bad Ford discontinued the platform, its a great car.

  No other car compares - 2002 Lincoln Continental
  By Veritas - September 25 - 10:00 am

  This is an absolutely outstanding car. I am a 33 year-old male (not the stereotypical buyer). This car far exceeds any Japanese or German luxury car. The comfort, ride, reliability, and amenities make this car an absolute joy to drive. It has great power (275 hp). As a front-drive car it has a bit more noise than a rear- driver. But, the car can get through all types of weather. No traction control can beat front-wheel drive. I think the car is beautiful. The interior is restrained, elegant and tasteful. The exterior uses chrome and other accents that sets it apart in a way that is distinctiveness and classy.

  Great Car! - 2002 Lincoln Continental
  By Richard - December 5 - 12:26 am

  2002 Lincoln Continental. 17,000 mi. This is a great car! It is fun to drive, 26 mpg hwy, runs like a hot rod, nice to look at and has a comfortable good looking interior. This is one more example of Fords poor marketing. This car should have been a success and still in production. TOO BAD! Mine has warrenty until 2009. I hope they still make the parts! Anyway, I love it!

  Love it !! - 2002 Lincoln Continental
  By Tim - November 7 - 4:30 pm

  Bought this car mainly for the 4 door, just had baby. Absolutely love it! Only complaint I have is the front drive. I much prefer rear drive, but couldnt find a decent Lincoln LS at the time I needed the car. Had it a year now and love it more every time I drive it. Great gas mileage for the level of comfort, 20 around town 28 on highway usually. No problems at all with this fine auto. Ford did a horrible job promoting this, hence its unfortunate demise.

  Impressive Lincoln! - 2002 Lincoln Continental
  By PatrickJR - October 13 - 10:00 am

  I like the big car "feel" with the flair of sportiness...an exuberant drivetrain...robust acceleration...NOT quite as gutsy as my 2001 Mustang BULLITT GT, though...Ford, keep-up the good work!!!

  Continetal Divide - 2002 Lincoln Continental
  By wjpolte - August 26 - 10:00 am

  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.

  unique automobile - 2002 Lincoln Continental
  By cole - February 23 - 4:26 am

  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.
