Overview & Reviews
Lincoln's front-wheel-drive luxo-barge gets a bigger grille (just what it needs) and rounded corners. It also gets an interior freshening that replaces the digital clock with an analog timepiece.
- Jaquaresque styling on a full-size American road schooner. Powerful twin-cam V8 engine.
- Poorly sorted suspension. Lousy resale value.

Worst vehicle ever - 1998 Lincoln Continental
By Mr. G - December 31 - 12:13 pmUndoubtly the worst car I have ever owned. I have put 1000s of dollars keeping this car running. I bought it at 70K and have about 127K now. It has cost me more agrivation than any other car I have owned. The front end linkage has been replace serveal times, the wheel bearing have been replace on both side twice, the steering rack has been replaced, the water pump has been replace and much more not to mention the little things. Like the roof quit working, the window control quit, the heated mirror went out and on and on.

pile of junk - 1998 Lincoln Continental
By unhappy owner - December 12 - 4:13 amI bought my Continental with 56,000 miles and within a week I had to replace a coil, 200 dollars at the dealer. The next year interior rear view mirror liquid crystal failed. 400 dolars to replace which I did not replace. the third year at 86,000 miles had to rebuild the transmission, 2650 dollars. the follawing years I replaced the alternator, $400 water pump,$400, rackin pinion, $800 powerstreeing pump $800, all the pulles,$300 the electric fan assembly because you can not buy a single fan,$750, back calipers over $600, torsion bars, $ 400 and now the the ball joints and bushings, $800. Never again will I buy a Ford. They have proven to me to be absolute junk. Dont but one. . . .
