Overview & Reviews

The Continental remains relatively unchanged for 2001. A universal garage door opener is standard, and the individual bucket seat option (five-passenger) now requires the Driver's Select System. Two new exterior colors have been added. Like all Lincoln products, the Continental now has complimentary maintenance at no additional charge for the first 3 years/36,000 miles in service.

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

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

  2001 Lincoln Continental - 2001 Lincoln Continental
  By Jimbo - February 6 - 8:30 pm

  Purchased this vehicle as a "sometime" driver; have a company car to drive to work, and an old minivan for hauling stuff. So the Lincoln is used to go out with the wife, visit kids at college, or travel. I did not believe reviews I had read about this cars gas mileage, but I am getting around 24 mpg combined. This car effortlessly flies down the highway, and is like driving a leather recliner. The trunk is massive for suitcases, etc. I cannot believe that Lincoln stopped making this car. It is a luxury car, but people were probably afraid to buy it because of the V-8. And no, you do not need premium. I have no problem with regular unleaded in this thing. Buy one if you can!

  My Continental is absolutely without question the best overall vehicle I have ever owned (it is my 33rd vehicle!). I look forward to the commute home at the end of the day - quiet luxurious comfortable performance. Reliability has been without incident and I have confidence this will continue. The 4 year/50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty from the factory and complimentary maintenance services for the first 3 years/36,000 miles as well as a loaner car from my dealer when service is performed just adds to my Lincoln Continental ownership experience.

  Best of the Lincoln Line - 2001 Lincoln Continental
  By Tom - January 22 - 10:00 pm

  Excellent Gas milage. Very comfortable on long trips. Sporty look and feel. The options of three ride modes and steering modes were a great feature that all sport enthusists will enjoy. The V-8 performance is a great engine to satisfy the high performance person. Why oh why did they stop making this line?

  very nice car a true top of the line American Sedan. Lots of power and its smooth. The 275hp v8 is nice prem fuel is recommended but with the knock sensors on every cylinder its not needed 87 octane is fine. I went with the goodyear tires. and a K&N air filter I am getting 21mpg.

  Golden Girls Lincoln - 2001 Lincoln Continental
  By Golden Continental - January 19 - 10:20 am

  When my husband purchased this care for me, I was surprised, I put the car on the highway the same day...I was impressed about the performance and gas mileage, it handled the road very well. When my husband is driving, I feel like Im sitting in the living room, not to mention Im five eleven (Head room a plus). Our kids enjoy the space in the back seat and the pull down cup console. Just unbelivable. I thought it was a granny car, but I soon found out...This is the car for me. My husband is searching for one for himself.

  One of the Last Continentals - 2001 Lincoln Continental
  By Joe McLeod - June 29 - 2:00 am

  Bought it used with 19k on it. A wonderful car. Got some cracks about driving an "old mans" car, but I dont care. Just hit the pedal and leave those people behind. 32V8 really puts out thrust. Absolutely no flaws, rattles, anything. I will be in this car for a long, long time.
