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.

  Full size luxury - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By Brian G - March 6 - 5:03 pm

  Love these full size frame constructed Fords. Fantastic mileage (23.9 avg), tremendous safety, nice smooth ride. No electrical gremlins like the Cadillac suffer from. Plastic trim is a bit cheap looking, but overall the interior is extremely nice and the fit is good. Sold my 2003 Navigator and moaned for weeks about not having a Lincoln in the "stable", so this one is replacing my 2002 Crown Vic as my highway car.

  Lincoln Town Car Signature - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By Roy Teverbaugh - January 27 - 10:00 am

  This is a terrific car to drive. Very comfortable and easy to handle. Quiet ride, feels like a luxury car and is. I like the styling and the 17" wheels make for a smother ride. The interior has everything and then some. I will purchase another in a heartbeat.

  My big ride - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By IlliniFan - December 12 - 9:23 am

  Always wanted a big luxury car, and a Town Car or DTS/Deville. Found this 05 TC and fell in love with it when I took it for a test drive. I have tinted windows and gives it the look of a limo. Im not the typical TC owner, but to me it rides and drives like a dream. On the road, it floats, seats are like my recliner at home, CD player is awesome, the reverse sensors come are a life saver when backing up. The clock in the center of the dash is just too cool looking! Its a great car, gets 25-28 mpg hwy, 23 city, cant beat that for a V8! So far not a single problem - and today thats rare.

  Twelve Lincolns and Counting - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By stgcret - November 2 - 12:43 pm

  This is my 12th Lincoln. I traded a 2005 Signature with 30,000 miles for a 2005 Signature Limited with 5800 miles. What a difference just kicking it up to the next trim level! More comfort in the seat, heated & memory seats, chrome wheels and the trunk goes all the way up instead of just cracking open in the base Signature and a much quieter ride. Much better stereo. Definitely worth the extra bucks.

  My Lincoln is a wonderful vehicle. It is fun to drive and fun to ride in. I feel very safe when I am in the car. It is truly a pleasurable car. You will not be disappointed with the looks, performance, and RIDE.

  A great ride at a great price! - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By dennis - April 5 - 6:20 am

  I now have about 12,000 miles on my Lincoln. Traded in my E320 Benz to get it. Lincoln is superior in all respects. More comfortable, better price, better handling, no electrical problems (lots in Mercedes), burns regular fuel, two windshield wipers (one on the Benx) and so forth. Lower resale value, that is true. But who would want to sell it? This is the best car Ive ever owned and I got it for a steal (internet deal). Why was I driving that stupid status symbol that kills my rear after a few hours? Wish I had bought this car years ago. The car is great--the problem is that Ford is too stupid to know how to market it.

  I Love My Town Car - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By E. Perez - March 14 - 5:16 pm

  I purchased my Town Car for several reasons, safety, the Michelin tires, comfort, and size. One month later, I was in a major accident. The back end of my car was majorly damaged, but I was uninjured. I feel extremely safe in it. The ride is so smooth and the car is so roomy and comfortable and I love the huge trunk. I only have 4500 miles on it so far, but I dont think I will ever purchase anything other than another Town Car.
