Being car fickle, with the exception of the Marauder, it was time for my daily driver Town Car to go. I tried a plain jane Lincoln MKZ and then decided I needed the fully loaded one. Looks good next to her big sister. Fun to drive.

de minimus,
Hope you have a great time with the MKZ. As you probably know, this car has the Mazda 6 underpinnings. If you check, you may be able to upgrade various suspension parts to make the MKZ perform even better than it does stock, FWIW.

Why did you get rid of the Town Car?

There's not a lot of extra room. I've got that seat angled so far back it's now a 3 seater.

Well I do have my regrets....I love the Town Car and missed mine as soon as I traded it in, but driving it and parking it in downtown Vancouver was difficult at best. If you've ever driven in Vancouver you'll know what I mean.
Also, and you may not believe this but the Town car has too smooth and quiet a ride - I kept nodding off while driving home after my usual 12 hour work days. Big comfy seat, soft music, no road or engine noise....
Lastly, my Marauder excepted I'm pretty car fickle/ easily bored - I usually change up every year or so.
