Love the car but warranty issues over the years with only 10,000 miles were a downer; latest parts just arrived - seemed like forever (1 yr.)

Not my Town Car

Leased my Reserve AWD in March 18 after driving Town Cars for 20 years. While the Town Car is a dinosaur by comparison, its overall ride and storage capacity was far superior. That being said here are my thoughts so far at 7000 miles: PROS; 30 position massage seats though somewhat complicated to operate. MPG overall 23-24 and 27 Hwy on a few trips. 2.7 liter turbocharged engine offers good power. Above average rear seat room. Nice styling. Lots of bells and whistles though don't know if I'll ever use them all. CONS: Push button transmission can be slow to respond. It and everything is computer/electrically controlled including opening the doors. I'm old school and don't care for this trend. Dash display option unnecessarily complicated. No option for a temperature gauge. Owners manual 3/4" thick and poorly organized. Below average trunk capacity but the rear seats fold down which helps. No power to auxiliary ports when engine is off. Soooo... bottom line is I wish Lincoln still built a Town Car but with some of the tech updates and doodads that the Continental provides. The jury is out on whether I'll get another one when the lease is up

The extra cost is worth every dollar. We tend to keep a car a long time, and the quality of this Lincoln Continental tells me it will last like our Towncar did.

I have people stopping me to tell me how good looking this car is. I love driving it. It’s so plush but has enough get up and go when I hit the gas to satisfy this former Dodge Charger owner. The only criticism I have is I single rough shift between first and second that happens occasionally when coasting but otherwise it works like a dream.

I’ve owned this car for almost 2 years and can’t recommend it enough. The 17 and 18 models are starting to really come down in price, and when you get to the $30-40k with low milage it really is worth it. The seats are comfy, and you feel like you’re floating while driving the car. The 2.7L power plant really moves the heavy boat along just fine. With the awd the car never feels out of control. The trim on the dash, the trim on the headliner and the lack of ability to work on the car are the only issues I have with the car. Otherwise, highly, highly recommend. Love riding, and driving this beautiful boat

It is very dependable. I have gotten more compliments from strangers on this car then any previous one I've had. Many, I'm over 65.

2017 Lincoln Continental Black Label

I recently purchased a 2017 Lincoln Continental Black Label, with the Rear Seat Option and the 3.0 Engine. I really enjoy driving this American made Vehicle. The driving dynamics of this vehicle are smooth, and comfortable at all times. The Perfect Position 30 way adjustable seats are very comfortable. The Revel Stereo has a Awesome sound for listening to all types of music. The illumination of the Lincoln Welcome Mat is always impressive as you approach the Lincoln Continental. The Interior lighting when driving at night, is a beautiful experience, and easy to navigate the controls when driving at night. The Heads-Up Display is very easy to utilize in all lighting conditions. The All Wheel Drive, with the Torque Vectoring is very impressive in all driving situations. A good value to me, as a American made Luxury Vehicle. Always a pleasure to drive.
It is not a Town Car

There is probably no suspension made that can smooth out low-profile tires. It rides like a sports car. My Town Car rode like a boat in smooth water. I can count the pavement strips with this car. It takes a lot of time and manual reading to learn all of the controls. Then when you find them and do not use them, they are not intuitive. For example opening the moon roof at night at 60mph. The controls to open the shade, the moon roof, the rear window shade, the interior lights and the rear head rest pop down ate all located in the upper center and are all slight indentations. You can barely feel them and then there is no way to know without looking, what indentation you ate in. The rearview mirrors are similar. You have to feel around to find them. Once you push the button for a mirror, then feeling for the directional control you are just as likely to push the door lock button or the button for the other mirror and now you are adjusting the wrong mirror. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER LINCOLN UNTIL THEY LEARN TO HAVE LEVERS LIKE THE TOWN CAR. The seats are very comfortable and easy to adjust. The heating/cooling controls and fan control are great. Can you believe it? My Town Car had a 5 CD changer. This car not only does not have a changer, it has no place to put CD's except to drop them in a pile under the player. Dimming the panel lights is again clumsy with flat buttons on either side of the light switch. Again you have to feel around. It only dims the panel lights and not the center console screen. You have to go through a menu system to do that. The car is peppy and handles extremely well, like a sports car. But I wanted a comfort sedan. I drive a lifted Jeep with 37" tires I drive to work, so I don't want to bounce in the car when my wife and I go out in the evening. Gas mileage with premium gas is about 20-25mpg. But who cares when you buy an upper scale car? Finally be prepared to learn a new language called "Lincoln.". If you give voice commands, you must say them precisely and to do so, you must go to the manual to learn them. There are 26 commands to control the climate. Say List of Commands and they will appear on the console. The automatic parking is a terror. I won't use it. It whips in so fast you had better have your foot ready on the brake to stop it. The car is very quiet at highway speeds. With the moon roof open, it is still very quiet. Maintenance - take the car in once a year or 10,000 miles - great! The self closing doors are nice. Interior lighting is great. The instrument panel is another aggravation. Trip 1 & trip 2 require you to go to the menu to change the panel. Tire pressure is a big picture showing the car and the pressure on each wheel. It takes up way too much room and you lose other panel instruments, so back to the menu. Once I had to make several turns merging onto a highway. It told me that I was drowsy on the instrument panel. It took 5 minutes of trying everything to make it go away until I found that you are supposed to touch the instrument panel where the warning is. ZZzzzzzz. I tried the lane activation with no traffic. If there had been a police car behind me I would have been pulled over. It waits until it is over the right lane line before it steers left and then shoooooots over to the left line and then back again like it is drunk The cruise control works nicely and I like the way you can adjust the following distance. I wish it had an "accelerate" like my Town Car, but you have to speed up and then press the reset button again. As a Ford car company owner since 1978, I love the keypad on the side. I have never carried my keys or fob.

I have never driven a quieter highway car. Truly amazing - even at 70mph. Handles exceptionally well for a large sedan. Almost too many bells and whistles - like the odd lack of standard door handles - you push a button instead. Gee, what could go wrong with that idea? The car is nicely shaped and has a spacious interior - even the back seat. Addition of a sunroof takes away about 3 inches of headroom and most Continentals come through with the sunroof. The car is has a classy yet understated exterior except for the ridiculous 20 inch wheels. They are coarse and gaudy and spoil an otherwise elegant design. The oversize wheels with low profile tires also compromise the cushy ride on back streets and country roads. The big shiny wheels also shout "pimpmobile" 18 inch brushed wheels would be far more tasteful and the car would ride even better. Almost bought one but went for a fully loaded 2018 Subaru Outback 6 cylinder instead which cost as much as the used Continental of the same vintage. Main reasons for choosing the Outback - overall driver visibility and the tasteless ghetto wheels on the Lincoln.
