Best ride of my life

This is the second Lincoln that I have owned. The first was a '78 town car. This Continental is without a doubt one of the best looking cars on the road. It is a very powerful, and fun filled car to drive. I have put nearly 100,000 miles on it since I purchased it. I would take it around the world if they had bridges to do so. I have that much faith in it. I don't foresee me purchasing another vehicle to drive, since they can't compete with this one that is paid for.

Only had this vehicle for a few weeks, but I'm impressed. Had 107k miles when purchased, but still looks new and a great ride too. Gray with chrome really sets it off! If you ask me, this is just as luxurious as the Town Car. Thank you Lincoln.

1998 Was a Great Continental Year

Although the maintenance of the Lincoln Continental is more expensive than some other cars, this car is worth it. It's great to drive, comfortable, and dependable. Regency treats their customers well - even though their prices are on the pricey side. Overall, I can't imagine ever driving anything but a Lincoln.

This has been a great car for the past 5 years. Repairs have been minimal re: Heater core went when we 1st bought it.$600 dollars to fix. Mileage is 130,000. We like the size and comfort. Gas mileage compares to a much smaller and lighter vehicle. We get 22mpg. around town and we have gotten as high as 30mpg highway!

I have had three Cadillacs in the past. This is a good reliable car. Not a Cadillac, but still a good car.

Worst vehicle ever

Undoubtly the worst car I have ever owned. I have put 1000's of dollars keeping this car running. I bought it at 70K and have about 127K now. It has cost me more agrivation than any other car I have owned. The front end linkage has been replace serveal times, the wheel bearing have been replace on both side twice, the steering rack has been replaced, the water pump has been replace and much more not to mention the little things. Like the roof quit working, the window control quit, the heated mirror went out and on and on.
