Accommodation is this car's long suit. It has huge doors, tall windows, deepleather-clad seats for five real people, plenty of storage space, and generous interior illumination for night maneuvers. The trunk is among the largest in the entire industry, wide enough and deep enough for all of your first apartment's furniture, with a remote-control decklid latch that can be operated from the car's key fob or an inside switch. One of the things we enjoyed most about this new Town Car is the modern-looking, high-function instrument panel, a panel which is fully integrated into the car from side to side. The curved, hooded instrument panel houses a combination of analog and digital instrumentation that's a long way from the old square-face instruments with beveled glass covers. The function display, safety check, and trip computer all make the car much more fun to drive on a long interstate highway journey, and everything is very accessible and easily understood. There's a minimum of chrome on the instrument panel, with some nice wood-look trim, and large control knobs that make you feel like you're operating, not fiddling. The 5-range back-and-cushion heated-seat system may be the best there is.
