This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Roomy interior, quiet cabin, throaty V8 engine, huge trunk, availability of a long-wheelbase model.
Cons:
  • Interior looks ancient compared to equivalently priced European and Japanese luxury sedans, poor resale value.

  • 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 -

    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.

  • Supprise to own - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    Bought the car after selling my 02 Corvette. So far I have been impressed with the ride, power, and comfort. The car is larger than most others, but handling is easy and responsive. I have owned BMW and Caddy. I was supprised with the overall satisfaction of owning this car. This car will really win you over when you drive it, not just around the block, really try it out for several hours and see for yourself.

    have owned a lot of vehicles in my time but the lincoln is the only car that makes you smile on long trips and you know you are going to get there in reliability without having to stop by the bank for fuel money, buy used mine had 25,000 miles on it was just broke in good have 75,000 on it now still just like new

  • I love this car... - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    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.

  • Noisy - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    We have owned 3 other T.C.s but do not like the amount of road noise when on a concrete road. Too noisy for a luxury car. Also AC hits you in the face and is not easy to adjust. Seats are comfortable but not as good as previous models. I would definitely consider other luxury cars next time. Cant wait until our lease is over. It is not a good value.

  • Full size luxury - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    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.

  • Good Car, but Lexus LS430 is GREAT! - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    Unlike other persons that claim to own one of these cars, I actually do own one. My experience with Lincoln has been dissapointing actually, now Im not going to say this is a bad car, infact its good - its just not as luxury refined as a Lexus or Cadillac. Here is the problem with Loncolns though many people will tell you, whenever a part needs to be replaced it is quite VERY costly to repair.from now on, I wont drive a Lincoln ever, ever again. Another downside of the car its heavy - real heavy. Gas mileage is not pretty also. With only 18 mpg / and 23 highway driving. If your planning on buying a Luxury sedan, I would suggest to look at the Lexus LS430. Now this is the car to have.

    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 -

    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.
