  • @lightningbuster you can change the rear airbags to soft spring suspension. the front air suspension is better.

  • @DerAdventurer Yeah wished they still moved like that, but now newer cars are all stiff and blah

  • Omg the rear air suspension was the like the dumbest thing Ford had come up with. I mean I know where they were coming from with it, but I had two of these Lincolns, they were really nice cars overall, but the air suspension went out on both of them. One from putting 3 people in the back seat and the other from going over a speed bump too fast

  • 2 people would rather drive a Prius...

  • why stop at 2 wheel air spring, because four wheel air spring as found out by Rolls Royce makes no noticeable difference, since the back air does 98% of the work, and it saves on expense. maintenance, repair, and complexity of the system.

  • the air spring thing is crap always going out i had one nice car though should of kept it

  • @somekidwithanm4 Thanks for the info! It gives me hope that if I can find one in good condition it will give me the nice soft ride I remember from the 80's. I really would like a Cartier version as they usually have the moonroof standard, as moonroofs are rare on TC's for some reason. Make sure you check your air bladders on yours, as those things are very expensive when they go out, so get an extended warranty if you can to help you cover the cost, as it WILL go out one day. Hope yours is good!

  • @Nightbird nope. they're nice and buttery just like the eighties. i just bought a 92 exective and it's actually a prettty good handling car considering the size and weight and it really does get up and move when you step on it.

  • I just test drove a 2010 Town Car, & was really disappointed with the ride quality. The car "jiggled" all the while on the road, it wasn't anything harsh, but you could feel every little ripple on the road, & when it hit potholes, you could feel and hear them. Gone is the ride of the 1980-89 Town Car, where it was butter soft & could barely feel railroad tracks underneath. I believe the air leveling system is what is causing this degradation in ride. Did the 1990-99 Town Cars ride "jiggly" too?

  • I love the suspension moves while braking at 2:33.... it looks like you're driving Titanic! Dang, american cars may not be as fast or tight as european but if there's something they have to show is luxury and comfort!

    :D
