Overview & Reviews

Two trim levels, most options and half of the numerous exterior colors were eliminated for the 2008 Lincoln Town Car.

• Large interior, humongous trunk, reasonable price, nautical ride.

• Nautical ride, dated in terms of design and feature availability, poor power-to-fuel-economy ratio, being flagged down by confused limo-seekers at the airport.

  Once Lincoln, Now Buick - 2008 Lincoln Town Car
  By Now Buick - April 3 - 10:56 am

  Was driving the Lincoln Towncar. It just was not what Expected. When driving it made my dentures rattle if you know what I mean. After long trip it felt like someone had jumped on my lower back for hours.

  My 6th Lincoln Town Car - 2008 Lincoln Town Car
  By CHRIS - July 26 - 4:33 pm

  This is my sixth Lincoln, this Town Car replaced another Town Car that I have. I am pleased that the Signature Limited is the standard Town Car since it provides the upgraded interior amenties.

  Yes it is a large vehicle, yet, it is one of the best I have owned so far. I went to pruchase another vehicle and test drove the lexus, mercedes, nissan, even other lincolns. After each test drive I was very happy to get into my TC. I dont know if you would call it fun to drive put it is absolutely a pleasure.

  Expect more - 2008 Lincoln Town Car
  By Vance - April 28 - 12:43 pm

  I have put about 5000 miles on the car since I bought it. I noticed the next day that when cruising at almost any speed, it would periodically hesitate or jerk. It was so subtle that I was not even sure if it was the car or the road. I drove it on some smooth roads and I continued to notice the jerking. I have taken it to the dealer 3 times and now they are telling me that they worked for 2 days with ford and cannot figure out what is wrong. Ford is telling them that it is a nuance of how the car drives. I think its a computer flaw that the average driver does not feel. The shop foreman and a mechanic rode with me twice and they both felt what I was telling them. They still cant figure it out

  08 Lincoln Town Car Is My 15th Town Car - 2008 Lincoln Town Car
  By Ron - November 14 - 3:36 am

  My 2008 Lincoln Town Car is my 15th Town Car since 1986 and the car continues to offer the best ride, handling and performance of any luxury car I have driven including those from Bentley, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Acura, Infiniti and Cadillac. My Dark Cherry Signature Limited edition has all of the options including HID headlights, chrome wheels, trunk organizer and white sidewall tires that give the Town Car a stately and elegant look. My gas mileage so far has been 24 on the highways and 18 in city driving. There is truly no other car that can equal the Town Car on the market today. I am already looking forward to my next Town Car in 2010!

  Brief losses of power - resolved - 2008 Lincoln Town Car
  By mclark - November 23 - 9:16 am

  In response to review Written by: Vance on 09/03/2009, I also experienced this same situation with my Town Car. After four trips to the dealer over a three month span, and several different attempted solutions, the fix was to replace the fuel pump / fuel float device. This change solved the performance problems, smoothed out the ride and improved gas mileage. To their credit, Lincoln never stopped trying to solve the problem and made me a happy customer and proud owner of this fine vehicle.

  Rides like no other. Owned Mercedes and Lexus and neither compare with the smooth ride of the Lincoln. Power is adequate interior is super comfortable.

  Older design that still works! - 2008 Lincoln Town Car
  By Andy - February 12 - 3:56 pm

  This is Lincoln number nineteen for me and no, Im not 100 years old! I have driven this car for up to 14 hours at a time with absolutely no fatigue while obtaining 27+ mpg. Ive tried it in other cars (namely, my wifes Jaguar, the BMW that preceded it, and a Cadillac I purchased once in a moment of temporary insanity) and Ill take the Lincoln anytime. Sure, other cars have lots of fancy technology. Would be great if it worked, which has not been my experience. Like I said, Ive had 19 Lincolns and have never been stranded by a single one of them, nor even had a major repair for that matter. Im 52 years old and hope they keep building them for as long as I live!

  Flawless Town Car - 2008 Lincoln Town Car
  By TODD - January 11 - 12:36 am

  I am a 41 year old guy who has owned 18 town cars since the age of twenty. I strayed a couple times to a 430S Class Mercedes and a 530I BMW. The maintenance every 7000 miles was high and the ride in both was rough and caused lower back pain. This Town car like all the other are super smooth and average 22mpg. I can drive to Naples Florida and get out of the car and feel rested rather than feeling stress. From the Country Club to the store I never feel out of place. Im sold on Lincoln Town car 2008.
