2007 lincoln town car review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Traditional american luxury car. introductionthe lincoln town car is a big american luxury car. The town car is appealing for its spacious six-person seating and cavernous trunk, with plenty of storage for luggage and golf clubs. This is a traditional american luxury sedan. It's roomy and comfortable. It's smooth and stable. And it's luxurious. people who buy town cars like them; the town car is the highest-rated american car in the mid-luxury segment, according to a j. Some 75 percent of limousine and livery fleets are made up of this large american luxury sedan. Yet individuals still account for more than 65 percent of all town car sales. after significant re-engineering for 2003, the town car has changed very little. Last year each trim level got a new set of wheels. Sharing the standard (117. 7-inch) wheelbase are the signature 42,175), signature limited 45,040), and designer series 47,300). Options are limited to white-sidewall tires 125), a premium dual-media sound system 195), and some extra-cost paint colors. signature limited adds soundmark audiophile dual-media sound system; leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel with wood inserts and audio, speed and climate controls; full power trunk with key fob open and close; memory driver's seat, pedals and mirrors; heated front seats; and its own 17-inch, 10-spoke machined aluminum wheels, the full range of options (see below) becomes available. designer adds chrome trim on the b-pillar, door handles, and its unique18-spoke wheels. A heavy-duty front stabilizer bar helps compensate for its six-inch longer wheelbase. major options include navigation 2,995-$3,600), hid headlamps 495), chromed wheels 895), trunk organizer 195), power glass sunroof 1,595), and a six-cd changer 605), which is available at no cost with the sunroof and/or on signature l. Also available is a new thx-certified sound system. walkaroundthe lincoln town car is every bit as big as the cars people once thought detroit would never build again. The 1961 slab-sided, suicide-door continental that has become an american icon rode on a wheelbase of 123 inches and weighed 4,927 pounds; the 2007 lincoln town car signature l stretches three-quarters of an inch longer and weighs only 409 pounds less. And at 4,129 pounds, the lightest short-wheelbase 2007 town car weighs only 36 pounds less than the great road-racing lincolns of the early 1950s. machined-aluminum wheels highlight the town car at every trim level. Signature gets 12-spoke rims, while signature limited and long-wheelbase signature l get a 10-spoke design. The designer series comes with chrome-plated 18-spoke wheels. high-intensity discharge lamps are available, and they double the output of the standard halogen lights. little has changed since lincoln last re-styled the town car for the 2003 model year. Up front, a chromed, waterfall-style grille is flanked by quad-beam headlamps with a jeweled appearance. The division tried to retire the stand-up ornament earlier in the decade, but customers complained that they used it as a lane marker on the road and, to better locate the front of the car's long hood when parking. the trunk lid opening is wide and low to make loading and unloading easier. A covered and removable storage tray fills the deepest part of the trunk well. It hasn't changed since the 2003 model year when it was redesigned with a new dashboard and instrument panel. The instrument panel is elegant, even fun to look at. There's plenty of burl walnut veneer all around the interior, plus brushed satin metal panels, and a winged analog clock at the top center of the dash. the up-level wood-and-leather steering wheel features buttons for cruise, audio, and climate controls. The instruments feature large, easy-to-read numbers. Storage space abounds: a fold-down front armrest with a double-hinged top can be opened to either the driver's or passenger's side. Cupholders and a storage tray come out from the front edge of the center front seat. Storage pouches are sewn into the front cushion of the front seats. There are also hinged storage bins in the front doors, a large glove box. Atlas-sized pockets in the front seatbacks, and a fold-down rear armrest with storage and cupholders. the interior is very quiet, with thick insulation in the floor, firewall and pillars. This allows maximum fidelity from the 145-watt alpine sound system, which includes am, fm, cassette and single cd play (a trunk-mounted six-disc changer is optional on all models except signature). Its rear-seat armrest contains controls for the rear climate control and the audio system, two additional 12-volt power points, an ashtray and lighter in each door, and a separate control that can adjust the fore/aft position of the right front seat. Heated rear seats are standard on the signature l. driving impressionlincoln wants the character of all of its vehicles to be similar, so drivers will know they're driving a lincoln regardless of whether the vehicle is a town car, an mkz sedan, or a navigator suv. Other cars in this class come with more powerful engines with a great deal of technical sophistication. However, while abs and traction control are standard equipment, the chassis and suspension are completely devoid of any type of electronic yaw control sy.
