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.

Serene Luxury with More than Enough Power

2017 Lincoln Continental Reserve 4dr Sedan AWD (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)

Purchased as an off-lease car in November 2018. It is powered by the 3.0 L twin turbo V6 with AWD; not the 2.7L (which was the only option in the Edmunds dropdown menu). It replaced a 2007 Audi A6 Quattro. The Lincoln is every bit as quick as was the Audi, and seems as sure-footed (although I really haven't pushed it yet). The Lincoln's Revel stereo is the best I have ever owned; the ride is serenely quiet and the car solidly takes bumps in stride. The 30-way adjustable front seats take some time to get used to, but properly adjusted provide adequate support and comfort. The back seat is roomy enough for three adults. The overall fit and finish rivals other luxury cars I have owned, including the Audi, a 1997 Jaguar XK8, and 1991 Lexus LS400. The safety systems include all the latest bells and whistles, including adaptive cruise control, 360 deg cameras, and park assist. The infotainment system is intuitive and much easier to use than my wife's 2015 Lexus. The only nit I have on performance is with the transmission: the six-speed tranny is very smooth during moderate or aggressive acceleration; but in stop-and-go traffic it sometimes lurches to find the right gear. The car is averaging 19.4 mpg in mostly suburban driving. Not bad for a 4300 pound car with a 400 HP engine - especially since it uses regular gas! Update after a year: Still very impressed with this car!! It is solidly built and after 30,000+ miles there are no unusual squeaks or rattles even over very rough roads - something I cannot say about my wife's 2015 Lexus RX350. Still averaging over 19 mpg on regular gas in city driving. Ford finally produced a luxury sedan to rival the Germans. I can't believe they announced plans to discontinue it!

While the company raves about the position seating, intense instruction on the "key fobs" and how to position the seat without damaging the "wings" of the driver seat should be given. Beginning on the first day of ownership figuring out all the "new features" seat positioning has been difficult. The information that the seat will only reposition back 2" when the car was turned off, was never mentioned; making it difficult enough to enter the seat the next time causing the wing to pull away from the plastic base to which it was secured. Car has been in service department twice in 6 months and with the car being so new, there are no replacement parts.

I ordered the Continental in July. I was starting to get inpatient and wondering if it was going to be really worth the wait. Well, let me tell you that from the second I seen the Continental Pull up from getting out of detail, right away I knew it was worth the wait. This car is just BEAUTIFUL plain and simple. The pictures do it no justice, they do not capture the elegant curves that this Lincoln has. While I was waiting for it to be built, I was considering Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Cadillac. I am SO happy I waited it out and stuck with Lincoln. There is just something special when you stand back and look it at. It has many throw backs to the classic Lincolns while also including all of today's modern technology. The ride is so quiet and smooth. The massaging seats are AMAZING! I never wanna get out of the car! The door handles are awesome, just pull and the door opens effortlessly. All I can say is go to a showroom and go see it and drive one. Like stated above, all the elegant and classy curves are not captured on the photos that I have seen so far. I'm SO impressed. By the way, I'm 35yr old guy and I'm proud to drive this AMERICAN CLASSIC! I have the Black Label, Diamond Black exterior, Thoroughbred interior (gorgeous combo), 3.0 AWD. I would recommend at least getting the Reserve if able, the Black Label is just incredible.

The Continental is by far the best car I could have purchased for the money. Silky smooth/quite ride, excellent performance and top notch materials. And as always the treatment and service you receive from your Lincoln Mercury well Lincoln dealer is always superior to anyone else. I highly recommend the Continental to anyone who is looking for a comfortable and luxurious sedan. Also 400 horsepower is a great thing to have on reserve as well. So glad Lincoln brought back the Continental.

Test drove a Buick LaCrosse. Then test drove a Lincoln Continental. The Lincoln was best by far. Quite, comfortable, 2.7 twin turbo engine is very powerful, good gas mileage....no complaints. If you drive a Continental you will never want another Cadillac, BMW or Mercedes.

Absolutely amazing!!! This is the Rolls Royce of Lincolns....as one of my friends said. Black Label comes with everything and everything looks and works beautifully. It has the mustang engine and damn.....I love it! Updated 7-12-21: I have had one small problem. The headlamp on drivers side was holding water after several rain storms. The dealer replaced it under warranty. The car has about 44,000 miles on it now and it still looks new and runs beautifully. Extremely quiet even at 80 plus MPH and there is no end to the comfort and luxury in a Black Label Lincoln.

Make sure you get the 30 way seats and not the 10 way.The transmission can be a little jerky at times but not really an issue. Engine gas been great. Battery went dead after 2 1/2 years but was replaced under warranty.10 way seats that came standard with the select model are way too hard and very uncomfortable on long trips.Had the car for almost 30, 000 miles and has been very reliable. car is ruby red and have had lots of compliments on it. Still on the fence as to whether to buy it or lease a new one. Update: Wish I had kept it. One of the best cars I have ever had!
