What Edmunds.com says
A Lincoln Town Car at Lincoln Town Car prices. Buy a Grand Marquis with all the trimmings instead.
Pros
Roomy interior, long wheelbase availability, decent handling when equipped with Touring Sedan option.
Cons
New horsepower improvements aren't enough, average interior materials quality, awkward-to-use trunk.

2001 Lincoln Town Car Executive 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I know this sounds weird but I am actually the owner of a 2001 cadillac Deville. (my dream car since I was 6). I Know several people who drive TCs of all years. My main point is that I was a die hard Cadillac fan but after riding with my friend in his 01 TC I was no longer sure. Now dont get me wrong I still love the Cadillacs but I am getting tired of all the sky high all the time repair cost of it, after all im only 17 years old. my freinds TC just keeps going wile mine is in the repair shop. NO FAIR..
Favorite Features
I love the rear wheel drive I wish my Caddy had it soo bad! love the crome trim, it has more than my Caddy.
Suggested Improvements
The Towncar cannot hold up to the Deville in speed or power. He tried to race me but no compitition, I blew him away and didnt even floor it. the caddy has a hood emblem lincoln doesnt, the caddy looks sportier.

2001 Lincoln Town Car Cartier 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This is my fifth Town Car, and I loved them all. I bought this one with 64,000 miles and it has been flawless. Comfortable, reliable, smooth and great mpg...21 city and 27+ hiway. I love the big car ride and the rear wheel drive. I do all my own maintenance and this is easy to work on. I fully expect it to go 200,000+ miles.
Favorite Features
Moonroof, ride, dependability, exterior design, fuel economy.
Suggested Improvements
Cup holders are totally worthless. I bought a plastic cup holder at Walmart for $6 that works better.

Review
I average about 17 miles a gallon. Comfort is the key word for my Touring Edition sedan. I can fit everything but 4x8 sheets of plywood in this trunk, which makes it great for my work. Had problems with the factory installed alarm system. It's been good to me, and I learned to do the repairs myself so I'm looking at keeping it.
Favorite Features
Heated seats. Moonroof
Suggested Improvements
More legroom in front seats.

Review
I love Lincolns, this is the second one that I have had. I got rear ended in my Lincoln Continental, and I was fine. in fact, my Lincoln broke the Toyota's bumper and my car was barely phased.I love it!
Favorite Features
So comfortable and strong, as long as you take care of them they'll last over sixteen years old.No new motor or trans.
Suggested Improvements
All I can say is that Ford/Lincoln doesn't need to stop making town cars next year.They are the perfect family car.

Review
Great vehicle for family of two teens. Gas mileage city only 18. But highway & city avg. 23. Went to Missouri from Wisc. crusing mostly 85/90 and got 28 mpg. This car loves to go. At 70 ours kicks in again for passing. Have only had regular service done, runs great. Need a CD player. Has great speaker sound. Cup holders in the way of heat/ac controls. Even though car is so smooth a cup could sit on the armrest. Have had car in major snowstorms & handles well. Our 16 yr. old learned in this car. Back seat leg room is for anyone & I prefer the back seat for the comfort. Side windows are bellowed out, great for sky viewing for kids at night.
Favorite Features
Almost maintenance free. Quite, smooth ride.
Suggested Improvements
Front cup holder placement. Should have 17 wheels & tires
