My 2011 Lincoln mks is nine years old and still looks brand new.

My Lincoln mks is a classic beauty. It is 9 years old now and still looks like a brand new car. It is luxurious and stylishly sublime. You are driving in class, now show or gaud. One of the best things about driving a Lincoln is that since it is American made, you pay American prices for normal maintenance or in the unfortunate event you have an automobile accident, the costs of parts and repair do not leave you feeling like you've paid with blood. Everything in my car is top of the line from the stereo system to the windshield wipers.

It need to have yearly checkup to avoid future problems.

I enjoy the smooth ride. It has the ability to inform me when something is going wrong. It is a very dependable vehicle.

Comfortable and great power!

Very comfortable. I have never had a mechanical problem after driving this vehicle for over 6 years. I love the built in sound system and the ability to record my own CDs. I also like the power in this vehicle allowing me to accelerate and pass smoothly. Currently I believe I will only drive Lincoln's.

The Lincoln provides an exceptional ride!

The mks has a smooth, comfortable ride. The seats are comfortable, supportive, and are heated or cooled which is great for traveling. You always reach your destination feeling relaxed and refreshed. Mileage is great on the highway with an average of 25 mpg. The navigation system and the extra features make traveling very enjoyable. You are able to record your favorite CD's so that you do not have to keep CD's in the car. The double moon roof is great for looking at the stars or enjoying a beautiful sunny day.

Most dependable care ever owned out of 20 cars

No problems ever in over one hundred thousand miles. Many long trips and great gas mileage and very comfortable ride. Build another one just like it and I would buy it.

Details of my Lincoln mks.

I love my Lincoln, when I bought it I was very surprised with everything that it had. And then it seems like every time I got in it I found out something new. I definitely like that it has ac seats, that makes it super nice. I have also noticed that when I am driving down the highway is very quiet inside, almost like everything is so sealed up to where no notice can come through.

It cost $1400 to get a water pump replaced on a Lincoln mks.

It's a great fun car to own and drive. Its a mid sized car with a lot of power under the hood. Its reliable but the repairs can be very expensive. I had to get a water pump and timing chain fixed and it cost me almost $1400 for parts & labor. It is a very comfortable car. Leather seats, real wood steering wheel & not to mention an awesome factory auto sound system.

Love the lighting inside the vehicle at night while you are on the road

It's reliable, trunk is too narrow, leather interior is nice, but it's white, prefer it to be a different color, great gas mileage. No camera, would have preferred one, has a lot great features, runs smoothly and luxurious sedan, it's very roomy in the back seat.

Quality features and smoothing driving.

I like that this car has all the features I need. Additionally, I think the car looks super sleek and fancy. It is a super smooth drive and always gets me where I need to be. I like that this car has Bluetooth audio and can handle all different weather conditions. I have rarely had issues with this car.
