Its luxury class speed great gas mileage the inside is comfortable the seats.
I love the heated and cooled seats though ottomatick Winchell wipers the backup sensors and the side sensors and the front sensors and the buttons to program you are features there's not much to say that I do not like about the car I also like the screen in the back window that goes up that helps to keep the car cooler it also has dual sunroofs that I like and it has the little sensor in the mirrors on both sides if there's a car so you do not run into them if they are in your blind spot which is also really cool.

Lincoln mks - a dream car.
No problems. Very comfortable. No repairs needed. Excellent mileage. Cost free now for seven years. You cannot ask more than that. I have no more detail to offer. What else do you expect me to say about a car that is perfect? It is a shame Lincoln stopped making them.

Features on the Lincoln MKS
There are many comfort features in the Lincoln MKS. The hand controls on the steering wheel make driving very easy. You can increase or decrease your speed while in cruise mode very easily. The adaptive cruise will automatically slow you down if you are getting too close to an approaching vehicle. There is also a warning signal if you approach to quickly to an oncoming vehicle. There is ample legroom for passengers along the heated seats in the back. The front also has heated seats with adjustable seats making finding the right position for your height easy. The ability to reach highway speeds is also a wonderful feature. The only major thing that has gone wrong with the Lincoln Mks is that both turbos went out at the same time.

Lincoln mks, black interior with remote access.
This vehicle is reliable in the major things, but it requires little fixes in its electronics frequently. It is also very wide and subsequently difficult to park. Otherwise, it is a very comfortable vehicle that drives very smoothly. My husband also loves the power it has in its engine.
