2006 Lincoln Town Car Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The definition of the classic American luxury sedan preaches bigger is better, rear-wheel drive, plush leather seats for six full-sized adults, and a V8 engine. The Lincoln Town Car remains the most traditional form of that definition still found in new car showrooms.
At 215.4 inches in overall length on a 117.7-inch wheelbase and 221.4/123.7 inches (length and wheelbase) for the extended-length L trim sedans, we are speaking - big. With all that room to play with it's easy to seat six adults in the cabin, swath them in leather, panel them in burl walnut, and top it all off with an analog clock and leather steering wheel. The interior exudes comfort and serenity. Working in conjunction with the suspension - classic American land barge tuned to a mannerly sedan handling level - the occupants travel in a tranquil cocoon. Some slight engine noise and perhaps some wind whoosh over 60 mph might disturb the ambiance, but only as long as it takes to turn on the sound system. The cavernous trunk holds everything, but needs some good back muscles to get things out due to a deep center well.
A V8 engine with 239-hp, hooked to a four-speed automatic transmission dates the Town Car as an American classic highway cruiser. But that's what the Lincoln Town Car was built for and that's why so many limousine and livery services use them to haul people and their luggage back and forth to airports. Private owners buy them for their safety (great crash ratings), smooth ride, luxury comfort, and nostalgic prestige.
All that aside, reviewers understand that the Town Car represents a nostalgic dinosaur when handling and performance enter the equation. V6s and five, six, even seven-speed automatic transmissions are showing up in the competition. Lincoln knows that nostalgia doesn't sell as well as technology.

This car is in horrible shape, needs a lot of work. The pictures are very misleading. Most of the cars coat is dull, not shiny and faded in places.
The front passenger inside door handle is broken, the front passenger
seat would not move up or back. The interior carpets were messy. Plus it would not start. Would not recommend this car unless you want to invest money into making it presentable

Extremely comfortable and smooth riding vehicle. Extremely safe if ever involved in an accident. My 2003 Lincoln town car gave up its existence to save mine. Best American luxury vehicle everJan 01, 2022

Great style and quality. Superb ride and fuel efficiency. Sad that Ford stopped producing this car. There is still a substantial market for V-8 powered rear wheel drive cars.Apr 05, 2021

I don't like the hard shift when it gets up around 40 mph, but I have noticed the older the car gets this did seem to smoothen out a little. I also don't like the delay when I have to put the pedal to the metal. But I hear this is common amongst Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury's bigger luxury cars. But overall its a real nice car. It has plenty of trunk space. I haven't had to put any money into the car, except for the oil changes every 3000 miles. Its a very powerful and comfortable riding vehicle.Feb 01, 2015

Hey am in no way a Ford guy but they really did a great job on these and there work vans. I was surprised to see how many of these cars are running strong with high mileage. I strongly recommend there work line of vehicles. Oct 09, 2014

So far we're happy with it. We also have an '06 Grand Marquis LS. It's nice,but the Town Car is more smooth, comfy and roomy. Although the styling has been around for a long time, we think it's uncluttered and classy. If it suits you, get a well-maintained, nice used 2000's Town Car while you can for 40% or less of the original sticker price. Cool!Nov 02, 2013

With minimal care the car will run forever or it seems like it. Used extensively in the limo industry, when we are done with them, then the taxi companies start using them. The car is big and comfortable with plenty of cargo room in the trunk. Easily will hold two adult bodies, ha, ha.Feb 12, 2013

I absolutley love this car. In four years I have only put 13,000 miles on it. I love the plush leather seats, the performance, it handles like a dream, It can maneuver in and out of tight places very well for such a large car, the ride is so smooth with the air ride suspension and the RWD handling. I was also suprised at how well it handles snow when equipped with snow tires and a little weight I was able to easily drive in blizzard conditions with several inches of snow on the road and 18" in my drive way. I average about 21 mpg in town and on highway trips about 26 mpg. The only real issue I have had is the lock on the left rear door sticks and will not unlock, It has been addressed with the Lincoln extended warranty.Mar 12, 2010
