2017 Lincoln Continental Black Label 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
What a car! Was leaning towards a BMW 7 series and drove the Lincoln hands down a way better car for way less money.
Great Car

2017 Lincoln Continental Black Label 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
I just got the car from my dealer. First of all the Dealer experience was above the expected service. They delivered the car to me in a pristine conditions. Fit and Finish is great, the seats are out of this world, I had a Mercedes E350 and the comfort and ambience this Continental has is way above the Mercedes. The power of the engine and the way it is delivered to the 4 wheels. It's … feel in a category above. The only thing I would criticize is the fuel economy, if you get to happy with the engine revs then the fuel economy goes down...sad because the engine is a silky machinery that calls to be pressed.
I love the loaner car

2017 Lincoln Continental Black Label 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
I was the first to buy my new Lincoln and watched for it over two years. First major problem was the doors would not close, they are electric and I had to drive to the dealer holding the door closed with my left hand. The car was constantly shaking and dealer could not find a problem finally after taking the engine apart it was decided that I needed a new engine. Yes a new engine, and a … car with 24,000 miles. Get's better now my backup camera needs to be replaced. I am back in the loaner car..

2017 Lincoln Continental Black Label 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
I Black Label and had driven Cadillacs for many years. I thought they were a great luxery car. Then I bought this 2017 Lincoln Continental and oh my gosh it is way ahead of the Cadillac in all ways. The ride is very comfortable and quiet. No wind, road or any other noise. It get around 23 mpg around town and about 30 mpg on the highway. This car has all the bells & whistles for a fun … ride.
Edmunds Summary Review of the 2017 Lincoln Continental Black Label Sedan
Pros & Cons
- Pro:Very attractive starting price for a large luxury sedan
- Pro:Lengthy list of standard and available features
- Pro:Several powerful engine choices, including a 400-horsepower V6
- Con:Can't match the competition when it comes to overall performance
- Con:Some interior elements don't look the part of a high-end luxury sedan
Which Continental does Edmunds recommend?
The trim we recommend depends on which engine you want. We think the Select is appropriate for Lincoln buyers who don't prioritize performance. It doesn't cost much more than the Premier and includes real leather seating, a hands-free trunk opener (handy if you're carrying groceries) and extra USB ports for passengers in the back. If you like your big luxury sedan with some pep in its step, the Reserve is a worthy upgrade. The Climate package adds little to the bottom line, and rear occupants will appreciate the toasty seats.
Full Edmunds Review: 2017 Lincoln Continental Sedan
Driving
Expect a ride quality that's well controlled yet supple and forgiving. Lincoln's rep for floaty land yachts is a thing of the past. Yet unlike Cadillac, Lincoln is not trying to outdo the Germans when it comes to performance, so the Continental won't have ultra-quick steering and sticky tires.
Comfort
The big Continental should excel here. It has a spacious cabin, optional 30-way-adjustable front seats and plenty of room in back. Add in a suspension designed for minimal cabin intrusion and engines designed to work in the background, and you have all the ingredients for a very comfortable sedan.
Interior
A clean design and top-quality materials give the Continental's cabin a refined look and feel. It's not on the same level as the interiors of some European luxury sedans, but at its price point it's well appointed and comfortable.
Utility
Storage space up front is plentiful and easy to access. The trunk isn't likely to have as much room as Continentals of the past, but it should be on the large side for a sedan in its class.
Technology
The Continental uses the same Sync 3 technology interface as other Ford products. It's a much-improved system that is now easy to use and compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A high-end audio system is also available, along with adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking.
