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.

  What a step up - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By Bellefe - May 12 - 2:10 am

  After spending a month driving my mother in law Mercedes E class and then my my sister in law Accura, We were sick of the small car noise, cramped head room and low to the road feel. We call a cab to take us out to Dulles for the trip back west, we got in to the Limo and had the ride of our lives. I asked the driver what this incredible smooth beautiful car was and he said a Lincoln town car made in 2005. We went shopping for a Town car after selling the Suburban and think it is the best Luxury car Ive owned. Ive owned Mercedes, Accura, Sterling, Lexus and this is heads above them all. Thank God for the hordes loving the foreign car these car are just a great price for the ride

  Great Car - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By Vernon - October 19 - 7:36 am

  Fantastic car for the money. Bought ours used, 17,000 miles, for half the original price. Car does not hold value, but this is great for buying 1-year-old low mileage vehicle. Very comfortable on long trips, get up to 33 mpg on turnpike driving at moderate speeds, 21 mpg around town, both fantastic for a car this size. Great rearbackup warning system, love the 6- pack CD system. Problems: broken gas cap, broken center consule lid, lack of full-size spare (fixed by buying mag wheel with original tire and mounting in trunk!). Spare needed because took 3 days to get regular tire from dealer to replace ruined tire--imagine that out on a road trip! Car not perfect but fantastic buy bought used.

  Enjoy the room in the cabin - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By Lincoln Zenith - October 12 - 11:03 am

  I enjoy the cabin .The trunk is large and very convenient. The only problem is to lift heavy objects from the trunk - seems to require more adjustment.

  Honest Review - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By Mark - September 5 - 2:23 pm

  This car is mainly for larger families, although it does have a fair engine; we have to keep in mind its not a performer like a Cadillac. The ride is smooth, very nice interior, large trunk for your baggage and passengers. BUT here are the problem with Lincolns; are very delicate. My dads Town Car had major problem with the power windows, needed new stereo which was like around $1,000 -- leather quality is bad, I mean what kind of leather rips & tears off? When this car starts to give you problems be very well prepared because it will be costly, and dig deep into your pockets. Also the suspension on this car is belive it or not at $600.00. Its a good car, but I would suggest a Cadillac.

  Not bad for the money - 2005 Lincoln Town Car
  By Kevin - August 31 - 5:20 am

  As a livery company, Lincoln beats all other vehicles...there is no comparison. When we owned Cadillacs, we spent most of our time taking them to the dealer for electrical repairs. Admittedly, Lincoln HQ needs to do something about the service dealers. In order to get your car in and out, service writers require "money under the table" otherwise your car can sit for days or weeks. It is a corrupt system and demands attention.
