Overview & Reviews

Having been freshened with a host of changes last year, the Town Car is largely unchanged for 2004. Last year's Executive model is now the Signature, and the Cartier becomes the Ultimate (available in both regular- and long-wheelbase versions). Sirius Satellite Radio is now a dealer-installed option.

• 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.

  too much money fo nothing - 2004 Lincoln Town Car
  By William R. McKay - January 6 - 10:00 am

  I find the equipment in this car much better than the years previous. But this car is still light years behind its compatition. Too many things left undone. The seats in this vehicle are horrible, also, the wind noise can drive you insane. Navigation equipment and a phone system should be standard equipment on this car -- GM has the edge. I am a loyal customer to lincoln, but it will not take much for me to join the compatition.

  okay buy - 2004 Lincoln Town Car
  By Mike Sawmill - May 8 - 10:00 am

  My Linclon has a nice v6 engine and rides niceley and is comportable yet this royal pain flys off on me and is terrioble on windy roads. This car stalled out on me last month after having it for 4 months. I want to go back to my old Toyota Avalon or Infiniti G35 instead of this car.

  Longtime Lincoln owner now disillusioned - 2004 Lincoln Town Car
  By hdelome - December 12 - 11:23 pm

  This is my 4th Town Car since 1985. The 1985 and 1988 were very similar and excellent cars. The 1996 was also an excellent car with a newer design. My 2004 is now the newest design and is beautiful to look at from the outside. But, the easy driving/handling of the older models is gone. This soft floaty ride is the major reason I spend the money on this expensive car - along with long term reliability (all previous cars have been driven 150k+ miles) - but this new model now has the "Euro-car" ride which I find rough. I do not want to "feel the rode" as it is put these days. I want to "float along." I will be looking for a cheaper next car - I find nothing in this model worth the $$$.

  Engine and road noise - 2004 Lincoln Town Car
  By Dr. Jim - September 12 - 10:00 am

  Very high engine noise in the passanger compartment while in second gear. Lower noise level in drive. Road noise very discernable. Not near as quiet as a Caddy.
