2017 Lincoln Continental Select 4dr Sedan AWD (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

I bought a 2017 Lincoln Continental Reserve used with 25k miles. At first it was an excellent car. One day I couldn’t open my door, after climbing in passenger side my door still would not open, including the inside latch. Now I have moisture in my reverse light and the parking light that is on the rear deck lid. Estimate from dealership is $2300 and of course not covered by my extended Premium warranty that I purchased from Lincoln. No more for me, back to Japanese! My car is a reserve model 3.0 AWD

My previous problem with door guards has been resolved, a lot of headaches but they no longer exist. I now have 18,000 miles getting between 22-24 mpg combined. Have had sensor issues and dealership telling me my vehicle was hit causing problem, no my car was not hit faulty sensor more like it. Since having it repaired STILL having detection issues. Electrical issues more like it. The noise from engine compartment is still as bad as new, Very loud in cabin when accelerating. All in All, Never again is still my thought on this vehicle. This is my FIRST FORD product and will be my LAST FORD product. Hence my review title NEVER AGAIN. For the money, much better cars out there. I’ll be looking at saying good bye to My Lincoln sooner than later, for sure. 23000 mile update. Had Three recalls, seatbelt, airbag, door latch. Still have same feelings toward this car, although it does have good interior room. On a recent recall service, got a Cadillac for a rental and it quite noticeably quieter than the Lincoln, not as roomy and interior was no match for Lincoln. Cheap GM plastic.

The car is pretty to look at but not user friendly, as far as having to use a smartphone to access a lot of the features this vehicle has. I plan on having the dealership help me out on the next visit to figure out how to activate a lot of the bells and whistles. A little disappointed that I have to do that at all, I have owned several new cars and this is the first one that seems to need a smartphone to access it's features

Small, hard, fatiguing seats

Lincoln Continental Town Car's and Mercury Marquis's of the past offered large, soft, deeply foam padded from seats. But this new 2017 Continental has small, hard, economy car like front seats. So this is not a comfortable long trip car like the Town Car was. The push button gear shift is dangerous because the buttons are not clearly marked or color coded - I ended up pushing Park when I reached for reverse and vice versa and once I even pushed Park when I intended to select Drive. The ultra-wide 19" wheels with 45 series tires detract from ride comfort as compared to the previous Lincoln Town Car. Road and tire noise is well suppressed, but exhaust noise is prominent. At idle, engine vibration is transfered to the steering wheel - yet another economy car like characteristic of this car. Directional stability at highway speeds is only fairly good so the driver needs to maintain attention to keep the car in his lane - yes still another economy car like feature. After renting this car for two days, I had no desire to own one.

I got a great deal on this car.Almost a black label.Very comfortable and drives well with a great turbo boost.Do your studying online as these cars depreciate dramatically.be prep before you go to the dealer.

I bought the Reserve. I love everything about it. Probably my favorite car in 44 years of driving. Getting ready to take a 800 mile golf trip in it. It doesn't have my car listed. I have the Reserve Sedan AWD 3.0 twin turbo

It's 2022l, and I recently bought a 2017 Lincoln Continental! It has all options, great presence and comfort! I have the 3,0 liter and its so powerful! It's a great ride, and I did love my 2016 Regal, but this car is special!

Not worth the money. Even when car is set at "comfort" setting it's like riding in a bad sports car. After owning this car for nearly a year I still believe it is very uncomfortable. The trunk lid doesn’t close automatically like it is supposed to and we’ve taken it to the dealership 3 times. Now we need to have the transmission checked.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY

Junk Dog, 02/07/2024
2017 Lincoln Continental Reserve 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
1 of 2 people found this review helpful

Test drove one the other day because I really liked the exterior & interior designs and I have owned Lincoln's in the past that were smooth, quiet, comfortable cars. This Continental 6cylinder turbo, had only 40k miles on it and looked to well taken care of. I was so disappointed in the test drive. The ride was not very smooth at all, not much driver leg room, engine noise was like being in a little 4 banger import. Slow lack luster pick up and poor front wheel drive abilities. Several of the exterior chrome parts at a closer check looked like cheap plastic, were peeling loose & coming off and one fell off & missing around the rear taillight (everything is glued on). It seemed like no more than a fancy Ford Fusion that was slapped together for 3 times the price. A car with only 40k should be close still to new and not falling apart. Styling & features 8 of 10. Quality and performance 2 of 10. The car was selling for 26k, would not have bought even at 12k.
