2010 Lincoln Town Car

Long a favorite with car services, the Town Car's V8, long hood, and stately appearance maintains the tradition of domestic luxury cruisers. Built on an old-school full frame, with rear-wheel drive and a host of electronic and convenience features, the Town Car delivers a fairly comfortable ride but lacks the sophistication of more up-to-date luxury cars. Handling is secure but rather clumsy and its 4.6-liter V8 is somewhat noisy and unrefined. The rear seat can hold three adults comfortably, and even more room is available in the extended Signature model. With steep depreciation the Town Car a fair used car for those who don't mind a very dated design.

Brand context

About Lincoln

Lincoln is Ford’s luxury brand, and most Lincoln models are fancier, quieter versions of existing Ford SUVs. The Lincoln Navigator, for example, is based on the Ford Expedition, and the Lincoln Corsair is based on the Ford Escape. Some models are available as hybrids. Lincoln SUVs tend to come with standard leather seating surfaces, large screens, and sound deadening. That interior quality paired with lively powertrains have earned some models Consumer Reports’ recommendation. Lincoln stopped building sedans when it discontinued the Continental and MKZ in 2020. As a brand, for new and used car reliability, road-test scores, and owner satisfaction ratings, Lincoln tends to be average.
