2004 Lincoln Town Car Review
Fuel Economy
18 mpg
Summary
What Edmunds.com says
If you want a big American luxury car for a reasonable price, the Town Car is the only game in town, but equivalently priced European and Japanese luxury sedans are better in almost every respect.
Pros
Roomy interior, quiet cabin, throaty V8 engine, huge trunk, availability of a long-wheelbase model.
Cons
Interior looks ancient compared to equivalently priced European and Japanese luxury sedans, poor resale value.
What's New for 2004
Having been freshened with a host of changes last year, the Town Car is largely unchanged for 2004. Last year's Executive model is now the Signature, and the Cartier becomes the Ultimate (available in both regular- and long-wheelbase versions). Sirius Satellite Radio is now a dealer-installed option.

2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This car is the Lincoln Town Car Ultimate Palm Beach Edition. What a car! It attracts constant admiration and comments. It is maroon with a half stone white top. It is one of the best cars I've ever had in the 50+ years Iv'e driven. Quiet, smooth riding and handling. When I pass a slower car even my grandchildren are impressed with the pickup. The stereo is magnificent. I like especially the remote trunk and the easy to adjust clock. I have gotten up to 27 miles to a gallon, normal is 25.4. I've had Packards, Cadillacs, and Chryslers over the years. Nothing comes close to the Lincoln in quality and dependability, and I've had 7.
Favorite Features
Love the remote trunk, ease of opening the hood, ease of setting the clock, great stereo, ease of entry, heated seats, cavernous trunk and the air ride that floats you over the worst conditions. All this and it uses 87 octane!
Suggested Improvements
Please bring back the electric headlight dimmer,and vent windows. Added colour choices and two tone. More storage for CDs. Keep the Lincoln star on the hood where it belongs. Bring back the elegance in Lincoln advertising.
My first Town Car

2004 Lincoln Town Car Signature 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I just purchased my first Town Car used and I love it. More than enough trunk space, gas mileage is OK for a V8, and I must admit that it's the most comfortable car I've ever owned. It's like driving a Lazy Boy recliner. The town car is surprisingly easy to drive for a big body car. When I'm ready to trade this one in I'll definitely buy another!
Favorite Features
Stereo, cruise control, and AC/heat controls on the steering wheel. Lots of leg room front and back.
Suggested Improvements
The sound system isn't the greatest. Some of the control features are difficult to use and the over all sound quality is a bit lack luster. Hopefully Lincoln has improved on newer models.
Great Car Bought Used

2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This is my third Lincoln. I purchased 1994, 1997 and 2004, all used. Great investment. The 2004 Ultimate is the best I have had. it had low miles 25k when I bought it. So far I can't stay out of it. It's just too much fun to drive. I'm retired (69) and plan on making several long trips. I get compliments from all my friends how nice the vehicle looks, rides and its economy. Hope to live long enough to buy another. I rate it as a ten!
Favorite Features
My favorite features are the ride and convenience of all controls.
Suggested Improvements
None
Might be too good

2004 Lincoln Town Car Signature 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This one took all of five miles to get comfy in. The amenities are quite sufficient and, if I ever read the book, may be astounding. Quietly powerful with understated beauty--essentially invisible to speed traps and such. Respectable.
Favorite Features
Thick seats, easy entrance and egress, multiple readout choices in the dash, sense of total protection.
Suggested Improvements
Radio. Or is that my ears?
