2009 Lincoln MKS 4dr Sedan AWD (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

Review

The car glides and handles effortlessly. Lots of interior room both in the front and back. The Sync and Navigation systems are easy to use and work great. I feel it's a good car for the money (despite the review from Edmunds) and would definately buy another one!

Favorite Features

Navigation system (touch screen easy to use)...air conditioned/heated seats (even in back).... sound system ... double moon roof... adaptive cruise control that adjusts to the cars ahead ..

Suggested Improvements

Trunk space is adequate but the opening limits what you can put into it.

Review

There is no car on the road better than this one for the price. I decided to trade from my Caddy CTS and was ready to go back to previously owned models, and I've had them all. Infinity FX, Acura TL, Mercedes S and E series, Lexus LS, I could go on and on. If anyone had told me I'd end up with a Lincoln MKS I'd have laughed. I had decided on a fully loaded Lexus GS350 when I drove this car. My wife loved it, I was blown away by the technology and the combination of luxury and handling. What's the rap from the Editors? Good grief, there is no car on the road that compares at this price. Perfect combination of luxury and performance from a guy that loves both. Best car I've ever had.

Favorite Features

Understated good looks, Sync, incredible sound system, top technology, decent handling for a car of it's size, price for features. While I love a driver's car, the combination of handling and luxury won me over. Nothing compares at the price. AWD, top tech, & the best sound system available.

Suggested Improvements

Since I like a driver's car, would appreciate a little less body roll. But when the luxury is factored in, the only suggestion I have is a little more HP. It's ok, but the Infiniti and Lexus GS and Caddy CTS beat it. All smaller cars, so that's to be expected.

Stealth Luxury

2009 Lincoln MKS 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I recently was in the market for a replacement car since my 06 300 SRT* lease was up. Searched for used 2006 750LI and Audi A8 and decided on MKS. Price out the door was almost the same. I think it was only prudent to get something more practical but still wanted the toys and boy does this have the toys. My MKS is loaded plus has the optional wood trim package ($400). It is well worth it. It just highlights the luxurious interior.

Favorite Features

Nav, Radar Cruise Control, AC Seats, SYNC / IPOD Interface, Rear Sunshade, Size of Trunk, Annual Fuel Cost

Suggested Improvements

Improve the sound the doors make when opening from the outside. A nice car needs to sound solid when opening and closing the doors. Rear Wheel Drive

MKS great car

Review

I can not understand why the "experts" say that this car is pricey. I challenge anyone to find a luxury car with all the electronics and features that the MKS come with for this cheap. My last two cars were Mercedes and BMW and the MKS hands down is more sporty, more comfortable, nicer looking, and better value by far. The 20 inch wheels is a must. Navigation and Audio sys. is second to none. Seats are the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in. rear camera is nice. Another thing the so called experts bash, is the acceleration. This car has plenty of power, I agree its not a dragster by any means but it has plenty of acceleration. Get more power they will complain about MPG!!!!!!

Favorite Features

Dual moonroof, audio sys., 20" wheels, Seats, Heated and cooled seats, rear camera, adaptive headlamps.

Suggested Improvements

The adaptive headlamps are a little sensitive. You barely move steering wheel and the lights move gets annoying sometime.

This MKS is Fantastic

Review

This car is a pleasure to drive and have to disagree completly with the "experts". The ride is firm and comfortable, not like a tank like my brothers BMW. Options are endless and receive compliments on the looks and styling everyday. Except the fact that a american company has got it right on this one.

Favorite Features

Adaptive cruise, rain sensored wipers and sound/sync system.

Review

Really delighted with this car. I've owned Audis, Alfas and lately a BMW 7. This car is right up there with them and more fun in many ways. It feels every bit the luxury car that it is. On the freeway it is an effortless, remarkably quiet cruiser. In town easy to drive. Overall very comfortable, great cabin; a nice place to be. Lexus watch out, this car is every bit as good as your equivalent GS430; in fact it is better looking, has more style and breaks from the bland, mundane approach of its Japanese rival. Superb car all round, thoroughly recommend it. Test drive one and you'll be amazed. Remember, it is a luxury car; don't be put of by the journalists that don't measure it that way.

Favorite Features

Sync is fantastic. THX sound system is "off the charts" good. Never heard anything so good anywhere. The screen's graphic interface is brilliant. Crystal clear and easy to use. In short, all of the features are brilliantly designed, relevant and fun to have!

Suggested Improvements

Sounds crazy, but if Lincoln could see fit to improve the quality of the carpeting and some of the plastic covring of seat mounts, this would push the car in to the true luxury category that it belongs in.

Review

I have been extremely impressed with Lincoln MKS. It has excellant styling, comfort and performance. The technology that is available is awesome. I could not be happier with this selection after looking at the Lexus ES and the Infiniti M35, I am convinced that I made a wise choice.

Favorite Features

The TMX music system with sync. A complete library of entertainment options. Also the rear camera system is significant safety feature.

Suggested Improvements

None

Review

My MKS has exceeded all my expectations after 25 years of Town Cars and Cadillacs. I am still delighted after 7 months of ownership. The black exterior styling is eye catching, the Linen interior is sharp, roomy & comfortable, and the ride is rewarding around town & relaxing for the long haul. I was pleasantly surprised how enjoyable the AWD was to drive and the 6 speed transmission is smooth as silk after it gets to 2nd gear. Engine power & sound are very satisfying and the THX sound system is awsome. I completely disagree with the mediocre MKS reviews written by the so-called experts.

Favorite Features

The Sync, Nav, bluetooth & THX sound systems are fabulous. I love the push button start, rear view camera, swivel head lights and automatic wipers

Suggested Improvements

A larger trunk opening and better gas mileage would be appreciated. I fell in love with the heads up display in my Corvette and would love to see Lincoln add one in the MKS. It has just about everything else.

GREAT CAR

Review

What is all the bashing about? The MKS handles the Ozark mountain roads at 60 MPH easily. There hasn't been one thing wrong in over 14K miles. OK. YOU show ME where you can get: Adaptive Headlights. Auto windhield wipers. Auto brights. Dual Sunrooof. Heated AND COOLED driver and passenger seating. Sync. Rear back up cam. Softest leather, other than one Lexus. AWD. Room for 5 and a living room sized rear seat. 275 HP on REGULAR. I got all of this for 41,000 in November. Come on, this is to easy. Now, you show me another that gives all this. You can't, so quit the bashing.

Favorite Features

Comfort. Adaptive headlights...I listed it all above. PRICE

Suggested Improvements

Rear visibility stinks. But it did in the next fav as well, the Lexus. And the trunk opening...you can't use enormous trunk!
