2007 Lincoln Town Car Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||

2006 | 4dr Sedan 239-horsepower 4.6L V8 4-speed automatic RWD |
The front seats are lovely to look at, but are basically flat sofas and not quite as supportive as I would like. They adjust infinitely, and along with an adjustable steering wheel and adjustable pedals you can get a good driving position - but I have to give Buick the nod for a more orthopedically-designed and cradling seat. I also would wish to be able to defeat the feature that automatically moves the seat back two inches when the key is removed from the ignition. Can't be done without an expensive dealer visit to download new softare into the door control module. see full Lincoln Town Car review |
