Overview & Reviews

The Continental remains relatively unchanged for 2002, its last year on the market. One new exterior color debuts, and an optional Vehicle Communication System (with portable analog-digital phone) is now offered. Available at no charge are a power moonroof, a six-disc changer and an Alpine audio system.

• Plenty of useable features and options, attractive styling, powerful V8 engine.

• Large size hurts maneuverability, unsupportive seats, minimal interior storage, lack of refinement.

  By PERRY - July 8 - 7:06 am

  I purchased this car in Nov. 01 and its been great. Really dont understand Ford decision to stop making such a nice car. Would buy another, if given the chance.

  Very good but not great - 2002 Lincoln Continental
  By brxv - December 22 - 10:00 am

  A BIG car ride and drive. A truly excellent dollar value, lots of toys, driver select system is quite good. Driver information center is very easy to operate and love the compass. Gas mileage for the 275 HP Intech is quite good. And...the Continental is smooth and powerful on take off. Front-wheel drive leads to slight oversteer. Thus you dont have the feel of a great American luxo-cruiser. Good....not great. Much, much better value than Audi A6, Acura any model, Volvo, Jaguar, Lexus or any of the other mid luxury cars. THE VERY BEST CLIMATE CONTROL AND AC of any vehicle I have experienced.

  Satisfied Comsumer - 2002 Lincoln Continental
  By louis stoecklin - September 27 - 6:00 am

  This Lincoln has been a true pleasure to own and operate. I have owned this car since it was brand new from the Dealer to me. No major problems and no warranty issues at all. I went and had this car serviced as required and its performance was indeed a pleasure. Just before 100,000 miles I had services preformed and the dealer found items to replace under warranty and all were done at no cost to me, they even provided a loaner while work was done. This car again drives as new and all I had to do was replace the front tires. Rear tires have 100000 miles on them and are still going. Great investment and great car to own, to bad Ford discontinued the platform, its a great car.

  No other car compares - 2002 Lincoln Continental
  By Veritas - September 25 - 10:00 am

  This is an absolutely outstanding car. I am a 33 year-old male (not the stereotypical buyer). This car far exceeds any Japanese or German luxury car. The comfort, ride, reliability, and amenities make this car an absolute joy to drive. It has great power (275 hp). As a front-drive car it has a bit more noise than a rear- driver. But, the car can get through all types of weather. No traction control can beat front-wheel drive. I think the car is beautiful. The interior is restrained, elegant and tasteful. The exterior uses chrome and other accents that sets it apart in a way that is distinctiveness and classy.

  Noisy and uncomfortable - 2002 Lincoln Continental
  By Billcars - January 12 - 2:00 am

  From day one this car has been a complete disappointment. Uncommon vibrations and very high ambient noise make it very uncomfortable. The selling dealer didnt want to hear the complaints and said the noise and vibration were normal. A second dealer replaced two front tires with flat spots and no mileage on them and put in new motor mounts. The vibrations were stopped but the road noise is unbearable. This was my first and last Lincoln.

  Great Car! - 2002 Lincoln Continental
  By Richard - December 5 - 12:26 am

  2002 Lincoln Continental. 17,000 mi. This is a great car! It is fun to drive, 26 mpg hwy, runs like a hot rod, nice to look at and has a comfortable good looking interior. This is one more example of Fords poor marketing. This car should have been a success and still in production. TOO BAD! Mine has warrenty until 2009. I hope they still make the parts! Anyway, I love it!

  Love it !! - 2002 Lincoln Continental
  By Tim - November 7 - 4:30 pm

  Bought this car mainly for the 4 door, just had baby. Absolutely love it! Only complaint I have is the front drive. I much prefer rear drive, but couldnt find a decent Lincoln LS at the time I needed the car. Had it a year now and love it more every time I drive it. Great gas mileage for the level of comfort, 20 around town 28 on highway usually. No problems at all with this fine auto. Ford did a horrible job promoting this, hence its unfortunate demise.

  Impressive Lincoln! - 2002 Lincoln Continental
  By PatrickJR - October 13 - 10:00 am

  I like the big car "feel" with the flair of sportiness...an exuberant drivetrain...robust acceleration...NOT quite as gutsy as my 2001 Mustang BULLITT GT, though...Ford, keep-up the good work!!!
