Exceeds Expectations

2007 Lincoln Town Car Designer Series 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I purchased this vehicle in Chicago and drove it home to Philadelphia. This trip was 810 miles and I drove straight through in 14 hours. This vehicle met or exceeded all of my expectations. I have the Designer Series with the Nav and Moonroof. What a pleasure to drive this magnificent car. While detractors say that it is not the most technologically advanced car on the road, which is true,the sheer comfort, workmanship and room more than make up for the lack of having techno-gadgetry which in no helps getting in or out of an E350 or the ES350. Both cars technically advanced and miserable to ride in - especially the back seat. The Lincoln delivers true, reliable luxury. This won't the last.

Favorite Features

Sumptuous interior. THX Stereo - unbelievable! Navigation System Fog Lights White Chocolate - what a gorgeous color! Handling Ride Absolute quiet Incredible presence Tremendous storage

Suggested Improvements

PLEASE FORD - a center console, a little more torque, bring all of the options back - don't relegate this to livery service only. There are plenty of us out there who will not pay 80k plus for a car we have use Crisco and a shoehorn to get out of or into. Do not discontinue the best value you offer!

2007 Lincoln Town Car Signature 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I have had the car for over a year and not in love with it yet. I am a fairly young driver for this type of car (34 when I bought it). I owned a Deville prior and am leaning towards another one. The air ride was better in the Cadillac, instrument panel had more options, seats were more comfortable, engine performance much, much better, and features that Lincoln doesn't even offer.

Favorite Features

Steering is great and handles well; transmission shifts much more smoothly than a Cadillac; exterior style is better than any other luxury sedan (domestic and foreign)

Suggested Improvements

Stereo is not good even with upgrade; steering controls are not comfortable (hard to press - I cannot imagine grandma(s) even trying to use the darn things); suspension is not Lincoln quality anymore (think 88-95 Continental); jazz up the looks (maybe opera lamps again, etc)

Review

These cars are very well built. 2008 is very likely to be the last year that the Town Car is available. There is simply no ride quality to equal that of the town car. The engine is well refined and superior to the all aluminum NorthStar power plant of the Cadillac (which is well known now for its grievous unreliability.) This car is heavy, safe, and handles extremely well for its size. The fuel mileage is great for this car (avg. 25mpg on the road). It is sad to see this icon of American luxury go. If you want traditional a\American luxury, the reliability of rear wheel drive, and the reliable, versatile, and inexpensive to maintain modular engine, you need to seriously consider this car

Favorite Features

So many favorites: The glove soft leather seats, the soft seat cushions, the electronic instrument features, the ride quality, the safety, the armrest which opens two ways, the excellent engine and transmission, and the rear wheel drive! .

Suggested Improvements

I have no suggested improvements. First, I feel there really is nothing to improve, but unfortunately no improvements will likely be made because production will soon end.

Review

Just bought the Signature series TownCar. An absolute dream - inside and out. Although the gas prices have gone through the roof, I am pleased to see that I am getting 20 miles per gallon - mostly city driving. Very comfortable; great features and great all around visibility.

Favorite Features

Comfort, styling, decent gas mileage for a car this size.

Suggested Improvements

None

Near Perfection

2007 Lincoln Town Car Designer Series 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I bought the Designer with every option but the moonroof. What a wonderful car to travel in. On the road I get over 25MPG and all-round, I'm getting 21.5MPG at about 60% highway and 40% city. That is terrific for a car this large. Comfort is unparalleled and I can spread out - no center console that I'd hate. Huge trunk, great features like memory seats and pedals and voice command for the navigation and radio, Sirius, surprisingly good visibility.

Favorite Features

Relatively excellent fuel mileage, memory features, wonderful THX sound, nice leather, quiet, comfy, comfy, comfy. I love it and will keep it until the wheels fall off.

Suggested Improvements

The engine could use more torque and it's a shame the navigation system isn't identical to the one in my wife's MKX, so we wouldn't have to remember two different systems. But those are relative quibbles.

Cheap Luxury Car

2007 Lincoln Town Car Signature L 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

This is a really nice car. They are a little expensive, but it has nearly everything a Mercedes-Benz S550 has for less than half the price. The back seat is huge in the Signature L, and very luxurious.

Favorite Features

Huge backseat, many luxurious options and standard features.

Suggested Improvements

Underpowered,old design, and too many old people drive them, although believe it or not, I see a lot of kids driving them, too. Hopefully they won't be discontinued.

Easy Rider

2007 Lincoln Town Car Signature 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

Solid as Grandpa's Reo but a lot easier to drive. I'm a long distance type and take a couple of 3000 mile trips a year. Nothing out there compares with the piece of mind and comfort steering this big beast through mountain roads and big city traffic. This one is a duplicate of my 2003 but for some reason feels a little more solid if that's possible. Cheapened the sun visors for some reason but seats seem softer and this radio which was a pretty cheap up grade is better than the $600 rig in my son's car. Other than that it's the same car. I hate to keep hearing that Ford wants to drop the model. The limo people must be worried.

Favorite Features

Size, comfort, easy to handle despite the size and surprising gas mileage.

Suggested Improvements

Not much except maybe do something about those chintzy sun visors.

Get One While You Still Can

2007 Lincoln Town Car Signature Limited 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

Just took delivery of this 2007 TC and couldn't be more pleased. This is my 4th ('85, '91, '03, '07). Each one has been a little better than the last. Such a shame that a great American classic will soon disappear, there is no equal on the road. Even though fuel economy is not great, it's not bad for a V8 car of this size. Ride and comfort are unsurpassed. And who can't love a car with a hood ornament!

Favorite Features

Ride, comfort, and handling.

Suggested Improvements

Keep building them. Equip more inventory with navigation and satellite radio.

Town Cars Are Better

2007 Lincoln Town Car Signature 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I am very pleased with 2007 Town Car Signature. This is my seventh Town Car and I have to say it is the quietest one to date. I have owned TC's from the seventies, eighties and nineties. The styling is much improved over the 1998 through 2002 year models. The build quality and quality of materials is excellent. Not a single problem with the car. No trim falling off, etc. Very well built.

Favorite Features

I like the remote A/C, stereo, and speed control. Also like the dimming mirrors and climate control.

Suggested Improvements

Ford needs to make the Town Car more stately (like the eighties Town Cars) and I would like to see suicide doors again. Make the Town Car a real class car and do not copy other manufacturers. I bought a Town Car and I did not buy the Lexus that looks like a Benz.
