2001 Lincoln Town Car Executive 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

We have had our Towncar for 3 years and it will be my retirement car. My wife and I really like the car with a few exceptions. We feel a lux. car like the Lincoln should have a softer leather. Ours has very hard leather which makes it somewhat uncomfortable on trips, slippery, stiff, etc.. My biggest objection with the car is the mushy ride and the way the car floats on corners. I had a Thunderbird before with 258K miles and I loved the handling package, made you feel like you had control of the car, not vice versa. I have a pickup that I drive 35000 mile a year and I feel safer with the handling than the Lincoln. Also had a bunch of intermittent electrical issues. But, still love the car.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

Handling, power, and better Quality Control efforts at the mfg. plant.

One Great Car

2001 Lincoln Town Car Signature 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

This car became the company plane after 9/11. 95% 0f the 60,000 miles driven were high speed highway miles and the car performed perfectly. Most trips were 8 to 14 hrs. duration and the car was very comfortable and the fuel mileage was exceptional. This car was selected after renting various makes and models for business trips to determine their comfort and suitability for long business trips. The Town Car beat all the others. We purchased one and it proved the value of our selection process, it was every bit as good as we expected.

'01 Sig TC after 2 yrs

Written by: KJ on 07/11/2003

Vehicle

2001 Lincoln Town Car Signature 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

This is my 3rd TC, and I drove last 2 ('84 & '92) over 150,000 miles. I get gas mileage of 27-28MPG on highway trips which is great, but I miss the power that get from my '95 Crown Vic w/performance and handling package (3.27 rear end and dual exhaust on same 4.6 engine-- that I am still driving with 184,000 miles on orig engine and trans!) I find the steering a bit numb on the highway, with car wandering a bit on Michelin Symmetry radials, and I preferred the ride on my '92 TC and my '95 Crown Vic. Local Dealerships have been great fixing problems, and it is a nice looking car, but I don't think I'll drive it as long as my other 2, or the Ford.

Favorite Features

Gas mileage 20 around town and over 27 on my daily 120 mile trip to work on highway. Placement of radio, A/C and cruise controls on steering wheel.

Suggested Improvements

Offer telescoping steering wheel. Remove "bump" on drivers side floor so my left foot can go flat on floor. Similar problem on passenger side, where heater is where feet would like to be. Driver's armrest is too wide-- it pushes against my left leg.

2001 Lincoln Town Car Executive 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

First time owner of this brand, but probably will be a loyal customer in future years. Car is most comfortable to ride and or drive. Nice features like the moving pedal system, traction control, very responsive engine and superb climate control system. Fuel economy is 23 to 26 MPG which I consider exceptional for a car of this size and weight.

Favorite Features

Comfortable seats, ride quality, handling and overall driving experience.

Suggested Improvements

Direct injection fuel delivery system

2001 Lincoln Town Car Cartier 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

Large and comfortable with plenty of power and easy to handle. Easy access to the front or back seats.

Favorite Features

Heated seats, CD changer, memory seats and mirrors, smooth ride. Lincoln's warranty service has been great at Astro Lincoln Mercury in Pensacola.

Suggested Improvements

The catches that hold the doors open are a bit weak and make it easy for the door to close prematurely on a passenger or driver.

2001 Lincoln Town Car Cartier 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

Great road car, feel safe, not cramped, comfortable, easy to get in and out of, feel rested when you arrive. Not as much fun as our ninja motorcycle but great transotation in or out of town.

Favorite Features

Door code entry allows us to leave and lock keys in trunk during sporting activities. Adjustable pedals.

Suggested Improvements

Could use a little more ninja power if it wouldn't hurt gas mileage.

In Love with my Town Car

2001 Lincoln Town Car Executive 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I would be amiss if I didn't say I have a love affair with the big Lincoln for over 35 yrs. This is my 1st one. I am not dis appointed in the least. The ride is close to Heaven; The handling for a car this size is unthinkable; The little 4.6 liter engine is remarkablly fun too to punch it when necessry. The room is more than adequate. The service is free during the entire time of you warranty. Tis an awesome vehicle and just when you think you have found a flaw, you get a solid 20 mpg in the city. The one trip I did take up to the Panhandle of out State of Tx. you can get over 25mpg if you 'keep you foot out of it'

Favorite Features

The firm, plush, almost heavenly ride. It could stand few if any improvements!

Suggested Improvements

Make a cd capability to this car a must And not the changer that the dealer wants some $600 for!!! Offer a little darker tint on the windows,a better tint than comes standard on them now. I see that in 2003, they have moved the cup holder. This is a marked improvement.

Review

We purchased our 2001 low mileage Ford-Certified Town Car Executive this February—the first of two Lincolns (a V8 LS is our second Lincoln purchase). We added a six pack CD changer. My wife and I don’t have to scream to hear each other (as we did in our Club Wagon)—and since we are both lifetime WW members, we could sit four of us abreast in the front—but choose not. We ensured a safe purchase by using CarFax to research the vehicle history. This car just makes traveling a real pleasure—the only thing missing is aroma therapy candles (on second thought, leave them out). We are experiencing 18.8 mpg city and 24-25 mpg highway. This is THE car for long drives.

COMFORT

Suggested Improvements

Acceleration could use a little more oomph—but who’s in a hurry anyway?
