NHTSA CRASH TEST RESULTS
Overall Safety Rating

Frontal crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  *  *  Passenger: *  *  *  *  * 

Side crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  *  *  Rear Passenger: *  *  *  *  * 

Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags.

NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: *  *  *  *  * 

The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating essentially measures vehicle characteristics of center of gravity and track width to determine how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).

2003 Lincoln Town Car Review
"Revised styling, underskin mechanical changes, and the midyear availability of a navigation system highlight the 2003 revamp of the lone American-brand rear-wheel-drive full-size luxury sedan. Town Car ascends through Executive, Signature, and Cartier trim levels, topped by a limousinelike Cartier L that adds six inches to the wheelbase. All retain a 4.6-liter V8, which gains 14 hp this year. A 4-speed automatic is the sole transmission. Traction control is standard, but no antiskid system is offered. New for '03 is a revamped frame and suspension, different steering system, and standard 17-inch tires vs. 16s. Brakes are antilock 4-wheel discs, now with full-power assist. In addition to reworked front and rear sheetmetal, Town Car has a restyled dashboard with a dual-zone climate system and CD/cassette audio. Front side airbags are new and standard, but rear airbags or curtain side airbags are unavailable. Power-adjustable pedals, leather upholstery, and a front bench seat are standard. A rear-obstacle-detection system is optional on Executive, standard elsewhere. High-intensity headlamps and the new navigation system are available on all but the Executive. With the advent of the navigation system, Lincoln dropped its formerly optional Vehicle Communications System."
