2006 lincoln town car review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. The last of the traditional american luxury sedans. introductiontown 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. the town car was extensively re-engineered for the 2003 model year with a new frame, a new rack-and-pinion steering system, a new brake system, and new front and rear suspensions. This resulted in improved handling. Revised front and rear styling distinguished the changes, but the styling revisions were subtle. changes have been minimal since then. Sharing the standard (117. 7-inch) wheelbase are the signature 42,055), signature limited 44,920), and designer series 46,435). Options are somewhat limited at this level. 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, also, a wider range of options become 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), 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. Signature gets new 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. aside from that, however, little has changed since lincoln last re-styled the town car for 2003. 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. The 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 6-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, a zephyr sedan, or a navigator suv. Other cars in this class come with more powerful engines with a great deal of technical sophistication. Climate Control✔ CD Changer✔ CD Player✔ Sunroof/Moonroof✔ Aluminum Wheels
