Get the Lincoln MKS for the ultimate in luxury!
My Lincoln is the ultimate luxury vehicle. It is equipped with everything but Turbo boost. I actually like the shade of white (I usually get red cars). It is a bigger car than I am used to driving.

Been a great vehicle for me and my two kids to enjoy.
Incredibly comfortable for 100 mile weekly trips to airport. Nice features like backseat to trunk reach through; push button rear sunshade; heated steering wheel; heated/cooled seats; large trunk! Rides smooth; no maintenance issues in year since purchase.

Love my Lincoln! I'd buy it again.
I love my car. It has Bluetooth, sunroof, drives nicely, and I have not had any issues. The lights are bright so some people think my high beams are on but they are not so I do get flashed a lot. It is a beautiful pearl white. Fits adults comfortably. Love it!

Lincoln is the best ride ever. Driving a dream with an amazing sound system.
I really enjoy my Lincoln. It has been very dependable and gets great mileage. It is extremely comfortable with air and heated seats and steering wheel. It is awesome in the winter months with remote start as I do not have to step out to start it on cold mornings. It also has 3 different drivers settings. This is awesome since my husband is 6'1' and I am 5'6'. The auto lights and rain detecting wipers are amazing as they set themselves for the rain conditions. The large trunk is great for traveling as it can hold several suitcases. It really drives and handles exceptionally and has plenty of pep for passing or pulling out in a hurry. I am a devoted Lincoln owner now that I have owned and driven one for more than ten years.

Heated steering wheel! And massaging seats!
The comfort! Heated seats and steering wheel! Massaging front seats! Automatic high beams and whispers. Remote start. And the ecoboost motor is amazing. All wheel drive for bad weather is great too! In the last few months is started to have some minor issues, the dash controls for heat are not working, and I constantly beeps while resetting the my temp temperature every minute or so.

Thank goodness I had extended warranty
2 sunroofs, catalytic converter 4 weeks ago and now water pump leaking and I'm looking at 2000 dollars in repair. 104,000 miles. I have kept this car well maintained and have had one thing after another it seems. I would not buy another Ford.

Temperature control
These vehicles have constant problems with the heat control. They will go to high by themselves and you will have no control of the temperature. The radio may come on by itself even when you're sleeping! It will beep constantly while driving and it won't stop.There should be a class action suit started for this problem. It will cost you plenty to repair this problem.

Great car, buy a Lincoln, u will be happy.
Luxury car, comfy seats, drives well and smooth. I like the way it runs, the sleek style is great. Each time a customer gets in it he or she says it is comfy and that makes me happy to know that. Technologically advanced, great radio system and speakers.

My vehicle is very dependable, gets great gas mileage, and is good looking car that is semi-luxury.
I like the lumbar support, trunk space, and back seat room. The heated and cooled seats are a great feature. I dislike the parental controls that happen if I accidentally take the secondary key and the touch screen malfunctions.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Russell R.

Many features such as sensory if you are too close to objects. Rear view mirror is very helpful as well. Heated seats, nice sound system and great on miles. Plenty of space inside and trunk space for traveling long distances with family.

likeFilled Lisa B.

Some of the pros of the Lincoln mks are that it saves gas, the ride is smooth, and it is a semi luxury car that is not too expensive. The car also has it is value. The car is also spacious. It can easily hold up to 5 people comfortably.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Russell R.

My family really likes the vehicle so hard to find cons. But if I were to think of any, just like most new vehicles, maintenance can get very pricey. Oil changes have to use a specific synthetic oil and of course that is more expensive than basic oil. Parts are not cheap as well and unlike older vehicles, it is not easy to do home repairs without having to go to a dealer.

dislikeFilled Lisa B.

There are really no cons with the Lincoln mks. I would day the only downside is that because of its value a lot of people have the same car. I have only had problems with a little wine coming through the driver window and water coming through the windshield on the driver's side. These are so little things that it does not bother me at all.
