This Year's Model Updates:

Lincoln's full-size luxury car receives an extensive reengineering for 2003 designed to make it safer, quieter and more luxurious than before. Major hardware revisions include a redesigned frame and modifications to the suspension, steering and braking systems. The standard V8 engine is also more powerful. Visually, the Town Car is more formal in appearance, and the old-fashioned Lincoln "star" hood ornament is back by popular demand. Creature comforts are addressed by the addition of newly standard equipment, increased storage space, additional safety features and improved interior materials.

Pros:
  • Roomy interior, quiet cabin, throaty V8 engine, huge trunk, availability of a long-wheelbase model.
Cons:
  • Lack of brand prestige, poor expected resale value.

  • The best luxury car, ever. - 2003 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    This is my best luxury car. I has one DeVille, but the TownCar is much better. The best.

  • What a Bargin ! - 2003 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    I was between the new Infiniti M45 & the new mid-year Town Car, the Limited Edition Cartier. The Infiniti had more optional toys and what I thought was exterior styling more to my taste. I thought the M45 was beautiful from any angle. I drove both. The T.C. was the winner for smoothness and comfort. The M45 was tight inside, especially in the rear and legroom in front. Price was the clincher! Both listed just dollars apart. Infiniti dealer would give just $1,300 off MSRLP and there was no factory rebate. The TC had $4,000 rebate & $3,500 off MSRLP & $1,000 owner loyality bonus, for $8,500 of MSRLP. That closed the deal.

  • One Sweet Ride - 2003 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    After the first test drive, I knew this was my car. Now that Ive owned it for about 8 months, I can only say that I am extremely pleased with the car. On long trips, theres nothing like cruising down the interstate, feeling like Im driving my leather couch down the road, only without my big-screen tv in front of me. Ive had absolutely no problems with the car. I average 18 mpg around town and a very respectable 25 mpg on the highway. Another big plus with the TC is the safety aspect of having that amount of metal and airbags around you. The car simply looks impressive and is a treat to drive. It may not have stellar performance, but the two ton luxury road yacht makes me happy anyway.

  • Good car overall, but not great. - 2003 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    The radio is not as good (sensitive) as my 2000 TC. The engine is noisy, not throaty as some describe. Transmission doesnt shift as smooth as my 2000. Handling is much improved. I like the car overall, but wish some things were as good as my 2000.

  • Does what its designed to do - 2003 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    One can not compare this vehicle to forgien offers. It is made by Americans for Americans. The car does what it is designed to do well. Luxury transportation within the speed limits and under 35 Grand. This is the definition of performance.

  • 2003 plus and minus - 2003 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    Lincoln improved on a lot of little things on the 2003s, but the steering is a bit of a let down. The steering is more stiff due to the rack and pinion steering, plus riding on the interstate you feel a lot of wind resistance underneeth your feet. Car is more responsive and feels a little more sporty. All of the standard quality is still there, but the steering and different ride may turn off a lot of traditional Town Car owners. I also own an Aviator, no complaints at all about that one except the gas mileage. Its awesome! Town Car beats it only on ride comfort, but not by much.

  • Luxury Sedan Preference - 2003 Lincoln Town Car

    I have owned three Lincoln Town Cars and found them to be consistently of top quality and excellent in performance. The newest convenience features are always offered. I am entirely satisfied with this vehicle.

  • Best Town Car Ever - 2003 Lincoln Town Car
    By -

    I am 39 years old and have owned Lincolns since 1987. My family owned Lincolns since the 1979 Lincoln Town Car edition (a classic vehicle). Although I am an avid Lincoln fan, therefore a bit biased, I must say that the 2003 Town Car is by far one of the BEST Lincolns I have had the pleasure to own. I have been renting Town Cars when I go on business trips since 1989 and and when I had the opportunity to rent a 2003, I instantly decided to trade my 2002 Continental on a black Town Car Cartier. Geez, what fantastic car. This car handles like it is floating on a cloud. I cant say enough about what a magnificently constructed vehicle this is.
