I absolutely loved this car. It was chocolate brown with brown interior. Everything was just "better" than any car I had ever owned. I bought it in California, drove it to New York and then back to Chicago. It just seemed to fly along the freeway. I kept it in drive most of the time. I have had other cars that had the drive feature, but they did not seem as reliable and consistent as the Continental. I actually named my car Ramone because it seemed to have its own personality. The upkeep was amazingly easy and cost no more than any of the less expensive cars I had previously owned. The electric windows worked perfectly in the heat of the desert when we drove through it, and in the 10 below zero Chicago winter. I also noticed immediately that the dials were better lit and a little larger and easier to read during night driving. That was really a plus for me, since I do a lot of driving after dark. Also, the engine was very soft and quiet - according to my mother it sounded more like a panther purring than a "mechanical" thing. Also, the way the driver's seat could be adjusted was outstanding (I don't know about the other seats because NO ONE but me ever drove Ramone).

Nice Car
After owning this car for sixteen years now, I have had very few problems, and the problems I have had are not the expensive type like engine or transmission issues. The car has held up well over time, but is now showing some signs of age.

Nice car, too many problems.
2002 Lincoln Continental. Classic look, last year of make. Great leather interior with sunroof. Not good gas mileage, but great for road trips and cruising.
