  Modern Classic. - 2002 Lincoln Town Car
  By FSC - May 16 - 4:23 am

  Ill start off by saying I titled my review "modern classic" because thats basically what this car is. A modern spin off of big 1950s full sized cruiser sedans. The bench seat, column shifter, V8, rear wheel drive, body on frame construction, and shear size make it feel like a more refined classic cruiser. This is something I really like about the car. This isnt a car for people who want a Mercedes or BMW, this is a car for people who want a true laid back cruiser. However, if I were to do it again I would have gotten a top end Crown Vic or Marquis as the mechanicals and interior are %99 the Town Car as the town car for less money.

  Town Car - 2002 Lincoln Town Car
  By john - October 20 - 3:13 am

  Very reliable, gets 22.3 MPG average in winter. Have replaced breaks and tires due to normal wear. Best interior room around, very large trunk, very comfortable ride. Found it had better knee room than DeVille. Automatic mirrors seem erratic, but may need to be reset -not sure. Very satisfied -but wish they would upgrade gas tank to 20 gallons and improve gas tank safety for rear impact, although it is pretty reasonable now. Great seat warmer, or as I refer to it prostate warmer. Paint did tend to scratch easily on the plastic parts -perhaps some insufficiently durable water based paint used on those parts?? Very reliable and comfortable after 3 years of use.

  A Lemon named Christine - 2002 Lincoln Town Car
  By Sue - June 4 - 10:00 am

  It has been in the shop 5 times in a year for the same thing and they havent found the problem yet. I have had to put off our vacation this year while it is in the shop. It floats all over the road, has a mind of its own. When a car or truck passes it pushes it off the road and when you try to compensate with the steering, it pulls back across the line..you never know where you are going. This is all at a speed of above 60 mph. At 59 or below it drives good

  Upgrade from 00 Signature - 2002 Lincoln Town Car
  By izaclown - September 9 - 7:03 am

  Upgraded from 00 Signature to 02 Cartier due to a red light runner. The 02 is head and shoulders above the 00 model. The Cartier does have more hp and is quiter than the other models. My around town gas mileage seems to be better in the 02 than the 00. Firmer seats and smoother steering and lot smoother ride. Instrumentation is easy to read.

  Good car for the money - 2002 Lincoln Town Car
  By Lincoln - August 13 - 4:26 am

  After reading all the other testimonials about the town car, it amazes me the amount of people that compare the town car to the Lexus LS430. Of course the Lexus is a wonderful car, its $30,000 more! It better be. The town car is wonderful for the money. The quality is more than adequate, nothing compares in the way of interior room and comfort. And no, its not a rocket off the line, but its not supposed to be. Quite honestly, I dont believe the suspension could handle it, but then again, you wouldnt have the ride. You want handling, buy a corvette, stupid.

  Great Luxary to Price Ratio - 2002 Lincoln Town Car
  By Beaudiem - July 8 - 1:00 pm

  The Town Car is unsurpassed when compared to European luxuary vehicles. It seems that one gets much more for their buying power with the Town Car than any other vehical in its class. Inside the Town Car is as elegant as anything on the road.

  Old school American luxury - 2002 Lincoln Town Car
  By Old school - January 27 - 4:25 pm

  These Town Cars are fantastic! Smoothest ride on the road, quality interior, torquey v8 power. Fuel economy is generally about 17 in the city, but 25 on the highway. I have seen it go as high as 27 at a steady 60 MPH. One of the safest cars on the road, because these cars are tanks. The car drives like a car from the 1960s, and has a robust, quality feel that is lacking from American cars today. Reliability is stellar, only replaced ball joints at 121K and done regular oil changes and tire replacements. They truly dont make them like this anymore!
