This Year's Model Updates:

Lincoln redesigns its Town Car this year, making it lower, stiffer and faster. The interior is nicely improved as well, with softer seats and better positioned controls.

Pros:
Cons:
  • There is a stigma that goes with buying a Town Car. It will either label you as a Sun City retiree or a New York limousine chauffeur. Not the image that most people are looking for.

  • Worst Town Car to Date - 1998 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    This car currently has 223K on it. Its my fathers car and used it work as a limo driver. Up until about 170K, the car was basically trouble free (one or two minor repairs.) The only real constant problem was a hole in the firewall that allowed rain water and snow to get into the passenger compartment.(The car now wreaks of dirty water). However over the past two years this car has been problematic. Heres a list of all the problems weve had: Two bad wiper motors. Two power driver power window motors. Sunroof stopped working. Intake manifold blew(factory defect). Gas mileage has decreased slowly(now 12-14 mpg). A/C compressor inoperative. A spark plug blew out of the engine.

  • Good but not Great - 1998 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    There have been numerous defects and mechanical problems over the last 12k miles. Front end wobble and alignment. Transmission shudder in third gear and overdrive. Catalytic converters going bad. Trim pieces falling off. Stalling and dying without warning. No error codes to indicate trouble. The list of other minor things go on.
