Excellent luxury car

I am totally satisfied with my 2009 Lincoln town car. I have owned Cadillac and Lincoln in the past. While the Cadillac does seem to be more responsive with horsepower and it's also a smooth ride, the upkeep cost on Cadillac is almost 2-3 times what it is on Lincoln. These cars are so dependable that every rental agency or anywhere there is a need for a Luxury automobile has the Lincoln. This car is extremely well built and safe to ride in. Great Car!!

Town Cars Are Better

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

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.

2007 Lincoln Town Car Designer Series 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful

A TownCar, is what it is. It is spacious, comfortable, more than enough horsepower for passing, a very very deep trunk, can tow 1,500 lbs., extremely reliable (you’ll be hard-pressed to see any Lincoln TownCar pulled to the side of the road because of mechanical problems)etc. It has extremely low tech, isn’t fuel efficient (but tell me any V8 engines are!), only 1 touch down window for the driver. But for the year of t has decent tech for the year. I’ve personally been riding in a TownCar since I was a little boy in my youth in the 80’s and recently got a ‘07 TownCar, Adriana. If taken care of, a TownCar will hold its value quite well against such Japanese brands like Honda or Toyota. Quite a great car for an American last of the Luxury line. I’ve heard Cadillac is better with features but in my opinion, Lincoln is second to none when it comes to reliability, spacious trunk, not to mention the coveted air suspension that no other brand does, to my knowledge.

Exceeds Expectations

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.

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!

Flawless Town Car

2008 Lincoln Town Car Signature Limited 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
7 of 8 people found this review helpful

I am a 41 year old guy who has owned 18 town cars since the age of twenty. I strayed a couple times to a 430S Class Mercedes and a 530I BMW. The maintenance every 7000 miles was high and the ride in both was rough and caused lower back pain. This Town car like all the other are super smooth and average 22mpg. I can drive to Naples Florida and get out of the car and feel rested rather than feeling stress. From the Country Club to the store I never feel out of place. I'm sold on Lincoln Town car 2008.

'08 Lincoln Town Car Is My 15th Town Car

4 of 4 people found this review helpful

My 2008 Lincoln Town Car is my 15th Town Car since 1986 and the car continues to offer the best ride, handling and performance of any luxury car I have driven including those from Bentley, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Acura, Infiniti and Cadillac. My Dark Cherry Signature Limited edition has all of the options including HID headlights, chrome wheels, trunk organizer and white sidewall tires that give the Town Car a stately and elegant look. My gas mileage so far has been 24 on the highways and 18 in city driving. There is truly no other car that can equal the Town Car on the market today. I am already looking forward to my next Town Car in 2010!

I bought this Designer Series Town Car with 7000 miles on it. It is so nice, such a civilized ride. Nice seats, gauges and controls, I don't know what more you can ask for. Two years of ownership and NEVER to the dealer for repairs, never!!!! Gas mileage highway 25mph or better, in town 21mph...It is not a sports car, it is a luxury car and it behaves like it...

Good Luxury Car with a few exceptions

We actually rented a Signature Limited Town Car from Hertz for vacation. I have rented Town Cars in the 90's and thought I would rent a new one. It was just built in June of 2009 with 6000 miles on it. The engine had power but not the thrust of a Cadillac. The air conditioning also seemed not as cold as a Cadillac. The stereo had the Sirius satellite reception, but just had adequate sound. The seat had lumbar, which previous versions didn't, but the seat cushion on the bottom was flat and needed more cushion. The ride was a little harsh on bumps, I think the air suspension in the rear is to blame.
