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.

Definitely recommend

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

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 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.

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.

No front room space.

I had a 2014 Lincoln MKS prior. The difference between both cars is major concerning the front seat. There is little room in the Continental. I have to have 2 auto settings for the seat. One to get in and out and one for driving. The seats retract minimal when turning the car off. Also the steering wheel does not move enough to the high side. The side of the front seat has broken off 2 times due to its figuration getting in and out. When I adjust the seat to my driving I can't see the sunroof controls on top without bending forward and down. The MKS had adjustable brake petals, head lites that turned towards the direction you were turning, heated and a/c seats and when you turned off the car the adjusted seats moved quite a bit up and down. The continental left a lot to be desired. I should have kept the MKS and are very sorry I have the Continental.

Not what I paid for

Extremely disappointed in the car. Actually wished I never bought it. The GPS maps are 4-5 years out of date, the USB ports malfunction, the "chilled" front seats are a joke. They are in fact NOT chilled, they suck air into the seat, not cool air is blown out. The seats are worthless. I've never heard of this. Never again.
