2005 Lincoln Town Car Signature Limited

The Town Car is Lincoln's full-size sedan, the one with the cushioned ride and limousine-grade rear seat that made it the airport-car favorite. It drives like a big old American cruiser, floating over bumps with a soft, wafting motion that suits its mission perfectly. The cabin is vast and quiet, with a bench front seat and acres of rear legroom that make it a genuine six-passenger sedan. The air suspension can sag over time, and the blend door actuator is a known weak point, so check those before you buy. Stepping up to the Signature Limited adds heated front seats, a power moonroof, and the air suspension that gives that trademark floating ride. Its 4.6L V8 makes 239 horsepower and works through a four-speed automatic, which is plenty for relaxed cruising but won't win any stoplight races. The Signature Limited's standard air suspension is the key to that cloud-like ride, but expect it to need attention as the miles pile on.
