2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate

The 2004 Town Car is Lincoln's full-size rear-drive sedan, the one with the big trunk and the soft ride that feels like a living room on wheels. It's a relaxed cruiser with light steering and a smooth, quiet gait, happiest on long straight highways rather than twisty roads. The cabin is genuinely spacious, with a vast bench front seat and a trunk that swallows golf bags and luggage without effort. Running costs are on the higher side for a sedan, with regular fuel and simple mechanicals that are easy to work on. The Ultimate adds heated front seats, a power moonroof, and memory settings for the driver, giving it a more premium feel than the Signature. It uses the same 4.6L V8 as the rest of the range, making 239 horsepower and 287 lb-ft of torque, routed through a four-speed automatic to the rear wheels. The ride is the softest in the lineup, which means you float over bumps but feel every bit of body roll in a corner.
