General Comments:
I have owned Lincoln's most of my driving life. I am the third owner of this car & I have been very happy with it. Much smoother ride than any car I have ever driven, including my current 2003 745i BMW. The car has never left me stranded, and even the AC still works as well as the power sunroof.
The 4.6 engine really give the car quick pull off the line, but once you hit 40 things move pretty slow. I think I might have a tranny problem as it feels like I am dragging in gear for some reason?
The car has held up pretty well & I am considering upgrading to a 1995-1997 Town Car, because I like the updated interior.
My car has the aluminum manifold, and the newer ones have the crack prone plastic units.
In spite of the oil leak, I have no problems driving this car from DE to NY and back each month. if you can find a low mile maintained Town Car, grab it!!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have just purchased a 1992 Lincoln Town Car; I am wondering how this automobile will react in the winter to ice and snow. Up until now, I have purchased front wheel drive cars; we live in an older farm house in the country; we have a long drive, which presents a challenge in the winter time.
