Overview & Reviews

Lincoln juggles the Town Car's trim levels again this year; the base car is now the Signature, and the Signature Limited represents the loaded version. A Signature L fills the long-wheelbase slot for 2005. (Another long-wheelbase Town Car, the Executive L, is available but it is restricted to commercial fleet sales only.) The navigation radio option now includes a THX-certified audio system and satellite radio compatibility. Additionally, a new two-spoke steering wheel debuts this year.

• Roomy interior, quiet cabin, throaty V8 engine, huge trunk, availability of a long-wheelbase model.

• Interior looks ancient compared to equivalently priced European and Japanese luxury sedans, poor resale value.

  My 12th Lincoln - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By stgcret - July 24 - 11:06 pm

  This vehicle is very easy to get in and out of. The Signature Limited is the ticket. I am only missing the moonroof, which I dont really care about anyway. If you have to be in traffic, you will love the comfort and the dual a/c. I had 2 1997s (last year of old body style) and really had my reservations when the 98s came out, but the 2005 was pretty much redone. I agree that it needs more horsepower, maybe a 5.4 or turbo 4.6 somewhere in the range of 300 HP. The 238 HP is lacking when you got to get around a slower vehicle. The Towncar has always has been a great roadtrip vehicle. It could use less plastic in the interior...and it does use 87 octane gas.

  Great car for my dad - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By Sven - December 12 - 3:53 pm

  My 80 year old dad had a minor accident that totaled his Buick. Put him in a used Town Car with only 31,000 miles for $15000. He and mom love this car. It is easy to drive and very comfortable. Dad has been impressed with the gas mileage and says that this is the best car he has ever owned. The people at their church think that he must have won the lottery. His last car cost more and was not nearly as plush. It runs very smooth and has plenty of power. I also enjoy driving the car, putting 6000 miles on it on a cross country drive with 4 people and luggage and still got 24 MPG. It is much more fun to drive than my brothers Lexus and much easier to get in and out of, very nice ride.

  I love the car - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By Chet Jarosz - July 20 - 11:33 pm

  This my second Town car, I had a 2003 previously. Prior to this, I had two Lincoln Continentals. The Town car is a very comfortable, quiet car for long trips. I also feel safe in the car. Its also very useful for transporting my golf buddies and the four golf bags. They also like the car. I never looked at another car. It was the Lincoln Town Car all the way.

  2005 Town Car - Love it - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By GPM - March 23 - 4:33 am

  I purchased my 05 TC in 2007, with only 23K miles, so I got a steal of a deal. Would recommend purchasing used as such to allow for depreciation. I love this car, especially the newly designed grille--very striking and elegant, unlike the 99-02 jelly bean model. This new grille has teeth and can be a menacing sight when viewed from anothers reaw view mirror.

  2005 Town Car - 2005 Lincoln Town Car

  At 66" in height I am very pleased with front seat room and comfort. The Town Car has an outstanding quiet and comfortable ride. Very nice fit and finish both inside and out.

  First Lincoln!!!!!!! Heaven on wheels. - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By anthonyc92 - August 8 - 9:30 pm

  Seats are so comfortable, not even a Cadillac compares to its seats that you soak right into, doesnt even come close to comfort. has lots of room in it, LOVE the deep trunk, nothing comes close. Always wanted a Lincoln. MPG is unbelievable for a car like that, 26-29 MPG going 70 MPH. If you think their gas hogs, think twice. Will definitely buy another Lincoln again. Driving this car is a huge delight. I highly recommend this car, you wont be sorry.

  I love this car... - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By dyns - March 28 - 5:33 am

  Until this car, I have always owned a GM product. Then in January I rented a Lincoln Town Car for a vacation. Was I in for a treat; rides like a dream, good fuel efficiency considering car size and weight and you can transport 4 large adults in total comfort. Few other vehicles can do this.
