Used 2018 Lincoln Continental Consumer Reviews
NOT WORTH THE MONEY
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.

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 The GPS maps are 4-5 years out of date, the USB ports malfunction, the "chilled" front seats are a joke.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.

Bump ride slow stoping uncomfortable and noise
You got hold on the steering even doing so the car dances on anything also mention is a uncomfortable steering to hold you can't put your hand flat at any position. Lower back is sore need extra cushion on the seat them bottom sore is the angle of the seat the mkt has the best seats for the driver . Should be a quieter car but it isn't the windows are not sealed well and is loud. Beginning acceleration is good but at 65 the car start crying .foot pedal to seat to steering is so odd haven't be able to find a comfortable position 9 months driving .The front window it seems to not have the green glasses what makes you super blind from the sunlight also the chrome detail reflect on your eyes in any sunny day .did I mention the arm rest don't match with the position of the seat you got to ground the seat to became a arm rest this is a great design same with gas padal to the brake they are almost a foot in height different from one another I will say from 60 to 0 to stop will take about 10 seconds that is how it feels you really got have a heavy foot .good luck test drive it before may be you feet it I'm a 5,9" person .
