I am severely handicapped. Therefore, I need a very smooth ride. I currently own a 2004 TownCar. We’re looking to purchase a new 2009 or 2010 vehicle. What car has the best ride?

Are you comfortable in the Town Car? Is it difficult to get into and out of? If so, you should consider a small SUV. We have two friends; one has arthritic knees and the other degenerative back disease. Both are happy with the Honda CR-V. Look at other small SUVs, like the Ford Escape or Toyota…

I don’t have any problems getting in and out of the Town Car. Plus the quiet ride is important to me. I’m very sensitive to sounds and that’s also one reason for staying with the Town Car. Thanks for your input.

If you are happy with the TownCar a new one may be best. Small SUV’s will seem course and noisy comnpared to the TownCar. If you want to downsize and save some gas test drive a Toyota Camry. Both the 4 and 6 cyclinder versions are smooth and quiet on the road. The 6 will have power more comparab…

Test drive a Buick to see if you like it. Buick’s are among the quietest cars on the road. They use safety glass in all windows to reduce road noise and lots of insulation. I’ve had Buick and Town Car rentals, and I’d choose Buick for a quiet ride. Test drive a Lucerne CXL-5 and decide. You’ll …

Great input! One reason we’re thinking about a new TownCar versus a good detailer is, We heard that Lincoln may stop making it next year. I’ve tried to get an answer from “The Glass House” with no luck. They keep telling me to talk to my dealer. My dealer has no idea. Thanks again for the inpu…

I’ve heard that as well. However the Towncar shares much of it’s running gear and alot of it’s parts with the Ford Crown Vic/Mercury Grand Marquis. Even if the Town Car is discontiuned, parts will still be cheap and plentiful since Ford has no plans to discontinue the Crown Vic Police Interceptor. (…

And, the mechanical twin of the Crown Victoria, the Mercury Grand Marquis, is still being sold. Parts for Town Cars, Crown Victorias, and Grand Marquis will be available long after we are all dead and gone!

Thanks again for all the info about the Town Car. So why is it that Jaguar, Lexus BMW don’t compete as far a ride is concern?

Probably because the European cars have much stiffer suspension (and handle an order of magnitude better than any Towncar.) However they don’t have the same QEII-esque, soft ride of a Town Car. The Panther platform (Crown Vic, Grand Marquis, and Town Car really only appeal to two demographics, law …

Americna car companies excel at Vibration, Noise and Harshness (VHN) control. Whatever the shortcomings of US cars, they tend to be quiet and smooth riding. My personal choice would be a top of the line Buick; very quiet. The only import that would equal this is the top of the line Lexus (400 series…

Keep the car you have. For your situation, it has no equal. Buying a new one will not provide any improvement. The Panther Platform, (your car) is no longer being made. A new Lincoln is a downgrade, not an upgrade…
