This Year's Model Updates:

Lincoln's full-size luxury car receives an extensive reengineering for 2003 designed to make it safer, quieter and more luxurious than before. Major hardware revisions include a redesigned frame and modifications to the suspension, steering and braking systems. The standard V8 engine is also more powerful. Visually, the Town Car is more formal in appearance, and the old-fashioned Lincoln "star" hood ornament is back by popular demand. Creature comforts are addressed by the addition of newly standard equipment, increased storage space, additional safety features and improved interior materials.

Pros:
  • Roomy interior, quiet cabin, throaty V8 engine, huge trunk, availability of a long-wheelbase model.
Cons:
  • Lack of brand prestige, poor expected resale value.

  • what a ride! - 2003 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    Weve only had our TC a few weeks but let me tell you we love it! We traded a 2000 crown vic and it has been so much better than we expected. I love everything about the car. I believe it has about every option availible on the signature and Im glad I did not buy a Deville. If you want a happy wife or just an excellent automobile for your family youve got to get one of these!

    Not sure about the need for a digital and analog speedometer, but thats been an issue with this model since it was introduced. Cant surpass the car for comfort and reliability. Sometimes problematic small issues, but easily remedied under warranty.

  • Easy to Love and Easy to Drive - 2003 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    Great Ride compared to 02 Towny, THIS IS the AUTO to be Ridin the Freeway/Tollway or anyway. Yes, Yes,Yes rear drive American luxury is the best!! Auto wipers, lights, radar, sonar, compass, nav system, and lots of ROOMMMMMMMM. And...while inside the weather is so delightful!! Everything operates with ease (I programmed the home-link). The T Car is so easy to drive. Great brakes, acceleration and nimble handling. Outside is, well...outside and Im inside chillin or warmin and cruisin. Love when the radar/sonar shuts off my audio system!!

  • Very nice but it could be better - 2003 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    This is a pretty good car. You will enjoy the roominess and the ride. For my liking I find the seats could be more comfortable. The inflatable back support inflates a little too high in the lower back area. It misses the spot. I personally find my right knee hits the dashboard where the radio controls are. I think this car has terrific potential. Hopefully as the years pass Lincoln Mercury will make it a real winner.

    This is my sixth Town Car and they have all been very reliable. this drives better than any prior car I have owned. Has new tires. Interior is leather and is new looking. This car has some extras usually found only on Cartier Models

  • Third, Worst and Last - 2003 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    This is my third and last Lincoln. The quality is just plain overrated, mediocre at best. The wind noise around the front windows/doors will drive you crazy, not to mention the engine noise. Not enough power for this size car and lousy gas mileage. A/C will not keep occupants cool if outside temp is over 80.

  • Great ride; Rear End Problems - 2003 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    Bought this used Town Car after having owned a 1996 Executive. Better car; better ride; great styling. Around 72K mi developed noise in rear end. Im now informed that I need a bearing kit for the rear axle. Wearout at less than 75K mi is unsatisfactory. Ford had a recall on "some" 2003 TCs, but not mine. Also had to replace brake rotors. They seem to warp easily and require regular turning (maybe its new metallic type pads). Overall, I still love the car and Ill stay with it

  • Happy Warrior - 2003 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    Licoln has put back into this model all the things they removed after the 1996 Town Car.Passengers all comment about how well it drives and how functional the insides is.

  • It aint no Continental - 2003 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    Still underpowered but better than before. Does not have the interior conveniences of the Continental. No individual arm rests that move with the seats. Power point located on bottom of dash. rather than hidden. No handy sun glasses or tissue compartment. Its only a week old, has the room but not fun to drive as the Continental. 2003 design is better

  • Never own another GM car again... - 2003 Lincoln Town Car

    In the dictionary, when you look up luxury, there is a picture of a Towncar.
