I sold that lincoln town car we had and bought a 2003 kia rio with the money.
Its a down grade for sure, A/C isn't nearly as strong and you feel a lot more bumps.
On a good day the 4.6L could do 24mpg on the highway. The 1.6L 5-speed kia does 36mpg on the highway with ease.
The first week it coughed up 3 codes, two Oxygen sensor codes for a dead manifold O2 and a converter code.
I replaced the manifold O2 sensor and its still giving a converter efficiency code.
