1995 Lincoln Town Car Executive 281 modular V8 4.6L from North America
Summary:
Speed, comfort, safety; a great car
Faults:
Rare case of brake line corroding.
Mechanic broke the power window line that raises it.
So far nothing else, but waiting to see what else has been sabotaged.
So far just basic maintenance.
General Comments:
210 hp doesn't seem like much, but it makes this 4000 lb car fly like a rocket.
It's like sitting in my living room.
I don't like the electronic throttle or rev limiter, but I must admit it has gotten me 24 mpg highway. I get 10 mpg in the city because I never turn the A/C off, plus I leave the engine running a lot. I've gotten 15 mpg when I don't leave the engine running when I'm parked.
I don't like that it has 4 catalytics with sensors, and I also don't like fuel injection; I prefer old school ways.
Aside from not being carbureted, I am very impressed and I love it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Update, 9/01/2007.
I had a knowledgeable friend look it over and we both confirmed there were NO leaks. The engine is also burning very little oil if at all. The service center must have messed up the last oil change which is why I ran out of oil well before the scheduled change.
Happier now with my Lincoln, only cosmetic and A/C issues which are not bad for a car with 180000 miles!
