The Lincoln MKS is roomy, it great to use for travelling and has built in NAV system.

I love my car. It's fun to drive, roomy and has many features that are valuable to me.

Bonnie S

Affordable, dependable, comfortable family car!

Great on gas, heated and cooling front seats, back seats have heated only, double sunroof but only front opens up. Automatic windows, screen in dash for navigation, Sirius radio, Bluetooth connection, automatic seats. Very roomy and quiet. Push to start and keyless code entry.

Back seat is uncomfortable. Age of the car is a factor. No backup screen.

My car fits me like a glove. It is easy to drive. It is very attractive. However I would like a newer car with all the bells and whistles

Anne W

It is a great car and if I had to rate it, I'll give it a 4

My car is amazing and I love it. The only thing I really do not like about it is that it's rather small on the inside and not enough cup holders.

Troy H

Smooth ride. Glides over bumps and potholes as if they weren't even there.

Great performance. Heavy car. Not meant to be driven fast. Great ride and control. Think about your grandfather's Lincoln, fast forward 40 years in the future.

Lincoln mks 2009 AWD beautiful car to purchase.

Perfect car. Great mileage. Great speed and look. This is a great family car with great safety features and speed capability. Great for trips out of town or city trips just cruising around. Interior is very comfortable and the car is really affordable. Great leather interior of the car as well.

Justin P

I love my 2009 Lincoln mks, it was the best purchase I could have made.

From the sleek look to the technology I love it! I have had it since 2015 and have had no major issues or repairs. The car still runs smooth and quiet like it was new. Only thing I would change is pry the navigation system just because technology has changed a lot in the last near decade.

Mary L

You can pull out into interstate and be a speed limit in no time.

Like the look of car. Love the horsepower and the great pickup power. Dual ac for front and back is great. I would have loved it if it had a larger trunk opening that is the only downfall.

Dependable. Car has been dependable.

Car overall has been very reliable. Other than the normal wear and tear issues - battery, tires, oil changes - we've not had any issues with the vehicle. Would purchase a Lincoln again.

Ellen S

Dependable. Easy to maneuver. Quiet ride.

Very comfortable. Quiet ride. No real problems with vehicle. Like the placement of the navigation system. Good quality back up cameras. Regular maintenance is pretty much all the car has needed. Although parts and labor are expensive from dealership. Use outside source for repairs.

Lincoln is Ford with extra sticker price!

Like the amount of tech. Backup camera ,bumper sensors, touch screen nav. AWD; do not like under-powered simple V-6 engine, taurus in lincoln skin.

Lincoln mks comes with smarts and looks.

The car gives a smooth and quiet ride. The seating is comfortable on long drives. The stereo system plays well with no distortion. The Bluetooth always connects when needed. My passengers enjoy the panoramic sunroof while it is open. The seats are warm and comfortable when the heated seats are on. The cars curves are still stylish for its age. Also the car will let you know when to change the oil and if tires have the correct amount of air. This is a great option for someone if they do not know much about car maintenance.

The cost is a little over $18,000. This does not include taxes or interest of course. The cost is high for this year vehicle.
