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.

  Good, solid, comfortable car - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By Bob - July 17 - 2:53 pm

  This is our second Town Car. The full- frame Fords, Mercurys and Lincolns are the absolute best ride on the road. We have two Jaguar XJs, both are fun to drive, but the quietness and comfort dont even come close to our Lincoln. The trunk space is unbelievable too. Last trip we drove the newer Jag. Thought Id need a crowbar and a stick of Dynamite to get our luggage out of the trunk. Highway mileage is good (24 MPG) for the size of the car.

  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.

  Okay, not a Lexus - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By Jordan.W. Wilson - October 26 - 9:50 am

  The Towncar has a smooth ride and good leather and comfortable seats. In 10,000 miles there were no mecanical problems at all. How ever, my Uncles 2001 Towncar has 40,000 miles on it and needed a new belt after 34,000. This car could be better. The quallity is good but not like a Lexus. The features are okay, the sound system is okay. I would buy a Lexus instead because this car is not the best luxury sedan, I payed to much.

  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.

  Good Car-Lexus is BETTER - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By Motley Crue - December 18 - 5:46 am

  My experience with Lincoln has been real bad. The ride quality is good but its doesnt compare to Cadillac Deville or Lexus LS430. Had the alternator replaced at 20000 miles. Went to the mall and when I was going to ignite the engine the Key broke making the car unmoveable. Leather seats are cheap, they are now ripped. Now I am not going to say this is a bad car, infact its good, its not just not on the same level as Cadillac or Lexus. You can buy one if you want, its your money, but i WOULD suggest buying a Lexus LS430 NOW that is a true Luxury Drivers Car.

  Bad scene - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By Sy Be - December 2 - 2:03 pm

  Car came without a horn. Shortly after that, the brake system broke down and the fluid retainer leaked. Fit and finish for an expesive auto is less than acceptable. Was treated very badly by the dealer.

  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.
