2017 Lincoln Continental Reserve 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
160 of 161 people found this review helpful
UPDATE: May 8, 2018. I still love the car and it continues to be trouble free. By far the most comfortable car for long drives. Powerful, excellent fuel economy (24.8 mixed driving. I could get better mileage, but the engine is fun to rev.). The car is fast, quiet, extremely comfortable and fun to drive. I highly recommend driving one before you buy any other luxury car. I bet you will be impressed. Over my lifetime I have owned many more expensive German cars but this is the nicest car I have owned to date. UPDATE: November 8, 2017. The car continues to be flawless. I enjoy driving it and it continues to be a luxurious, comfortable, capable and quiet ride. The gas mileage continues to get better, despite my tendency to enjoy the feel the torque of the turbocharged engine on acceleration. I would change nothing on the car. If I did not own this one, I would go out and buy one today. The nicest car I have ever owned. I have not been back to the dealership for any issues. I soon will go to the dealer and receive my free oil change service. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I continue to marvel at the comfort, quietness and performance of this car. It is so comfortable, smooth and quiet that now my other four cars seem noisy and rough. I just love the perfect position seats. I had been looking for a luxury sedan for about a year. I test drove almost every model of every luxury brand and finally decided on the Lincoln Continental. I bought the Reserve model with the 2.7 liter twin turbo engine (380 lbs. of torque) and the perfect position seats (Extra cost, but worth every penny). The Continental is a really high quality, fast, quiet and comfortable car. It is perfect for long trips, where you can enjoy the extremely quiet cabin and amazingly comfortable seats. I tried every seat on the market and the heated and cooled Lincoln Continental Perfect Position seats are the best available anywhere. I have owned seven Mercedes S- class, several Cadillacs and Lincolns. This Continental is by far the nicest of them all. The quality of the leather and wood is outstanding as is the fit and finish of the entire car. The safety and convenience features of the car are wonderful. Lincoln has invested a lot of time and money to design the new Continental and it shows. Lincoln also has put a lot of money into their dealerships and I was pleased with how helpful the dealership and sales staff were. I spent a lot of time driving every model to find the one I liked best and they were most accommodating. I like the fact the Continental has six year power train warranty and a four year, 50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. When the car needs an oil change or service, the dealer will pick up the car at my home, perform the service, wash the car and return it to my home. There is no fee for this service. The car also comes with lifetime roadside assistance. If needed, Lincoln will provide a loaner car. This gives me assurance Lincoln has confidence in this vehicle and backs it with a very good warranty. There is one more thing I like about my Continental. It is built in the USA by American workers. If you are looking for a really nice, comfortable and well made luxury car, you should try the Lincoln Continental.

2018 Lincoln Continental Reserve 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
38 of 38 people found this review helpful
I am very impressed with the overall performance of this vehicle. The 2.7L 6-cyl engine turbo 6A has a lot of kick to it. I have not experienced any delay or hesitation in acceleration when stepping on the gas pedal like the Lincoln 2015 MKX I owned . Very responsive and the handling is what I expected from a luxury vehicle. Very roomy, quiet, and I love the 30-way seats, especially the extended thigh seating control which is great for long hours of highway driving. I also enjoy having the smart link which allows me to start, lock or unlock my vehicle with my iPhone. Great car! i am now an Eleven month owner and I am still impress with my Lincoln. It's a great luxury car, turns heads and is enjoyable to driving.

55 of 56 people found this review helpful
Currently have less than 1,000 miles on the car and couldn't be happier with it. Initially got lousy gas mileage the first week but the dealer assured me it would get better and was stunned to get 32.6 mpg driving down I95. Usually runs about 20 to 24 mpg around town which I am pleased with. The car is extremely comfortable riding and people fight over who will sit in the front seat to get massaged. Still trying to figure out all the gadgets and functions. Love that people stop and walk around the car and always comment on it. I have the white gold color and it is stunning. Did 6 months of research on about 10 different cars, luxury, sporty, muscle cars, etc. and am very pleased with our choice. Update: I have now had the Lincoln Continental for 8 months and have almost 6,000 miles on it. I love, love, love this car! It is so comfortable, responsive and luxurious. There are no adverse comments that I can think of and I continue to have people fight over who will sit in the front seat to be spoiled by the massaging seats! Still getting great gas mileage, 32-36 mpg on the highway and 24-28 around town. It is very difficult to sit in a regular car after being in this one. I recently used a valet service for 5 days and every day who ever was parking the car commented on what a beautiful car and how they hadn't seen anything like it. My 4 grandchildren ages 6-10 always want to show their friends the car and they all have said they want to get a car like this when they are older.

After owning a BMW & and several Lexus LS's I found those care to be very good, however I thought for the dollars spent the Lincoln was a great value for the money. I am very bid on how a car rides. And have found the Lincoln to ride very well, and the interior very quiet. Bluetooth, and technology works great, and the electric doors are very nice. Definitely best seating in any car I have owned, I have the upgraded seating. Not like a foreign car, this car is very American. I am not a bid fan of the sporty rides, and since I do not need a car that does 150 MPH, this is a pure luxury car and a better value for the money.

2017 Lincoln Continental Reserve 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
36 of 37 people found this review helpful
My fourth Lincoln in the past 10 years and first impressions are very positive albeit limited miles on the car so far. Of the two MKX's and the MKZ hybrid I owned prior to this car, the new Continental is a winner. The fit and finish inside and out are of the level of a higher priced vehicle. I also own a 2015 SL 550 which I used as a benchmark. I've got the 2.7L which I find to be quick and smooth for it's size and a little noisy on takeoff. The updated Sync 3 system is solid compared to the previous ones I've owned. All still much better than what I've got in my MB. I've got the perfect position seats and they're pretty perfect. These seats make this car and a must if you're considering buying one. I got the standard radio which is disappointing for the overall price of the car. I'll switch out the speakers with better aftermarket as a workaround. I would have bought the Revel radio if they had one. After I log a few thousand more miles, I'll update this review. Here's my update on the car. Still love this car and its overall performance. My only issue today is the entry/exit mode where the steering wheel move up and away works sometimes and other times not and the dealer can't fix it. Just had an airbag recall that was easily fixed. The pick-up and delivery services works well and a nice feature. Gas mileage is excellent for a big powerful car. It still has the showroom look, feel and smell. I've done a couple of 4 hour plus trips and the comfort is the best I've experienced. One of my Mercedes friends and I had a trip and he was impressed. Updat - had the car a year and still impressed. My only issue is the in/out feature as is works sometimes and not others and the dealer can’t seem to fix it. This is more of a aggravation than anything else.

The Continental rides beautifully. It handles the road, pot holes, like a Trojan horse. It's cool, calm, heavy, and stately. I have driven the Mercedes S class and have found this car to exhibit the same feel, and road manners as its Bavarian neighbor with out the big excessive money down, or astronomically high monthly note. Compared to my 2013 MKZ this car drinks gas, but for the power, acceleration and poise which it exudes, I smile everytime I stand next to it. This car is a Beast, and I mean that in a great way. From some angles it looks like a Bentley. I am more than pleased, I am humbled to have such an awesome ride. The interior space is a dream come true. My family fits without the adjustment of the front seats. It offers the best seat in the house while on the road.

2018 Lincoln Continental Black Label 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
30 of 31 people found this review helpful
It’s easier to identify Continental by what it isn’t rather than what it is. While it’s bigger then an Audi A6 or a BMW 5 Series it isn’t a true Mercedes S Class or BMW 7 Series competitor. While the 400 HP Turbo 6 packs enough punch to leave most cars behind - you’d be silly to toss it around corners like a Beemer or even a Cadillac. What it is - is a dignified domestic Luxury car that appeals to your heart rather than your logic. You can go on for paragraphs about this cars features, it’s materials, and it’s driving finesse but it truly shines in ways that can’t be measured. Out west where domestic cars in general are in short supply Continental turns heads with it’s classic styling - almost as much as our Porsche. We purchased our used 2018 Continental with only 12,000 miles. Mechanically the vehicle has been fairly reliable. My only complaint is buggy electronics and a strut that failed under 40k miles. Our dealer inspected / replaced both free of charge. Lincoln warrants their vehicles for 5 years and 50,000 Miles. With the complexity of these vehicles I recommend that you search for a low mileage Pre Owned model. You’ll reap the benefits of a significantly lower buying price and Lincoln’s stellar dealer service. Which brings me to my last point. LINCOLN’S DEALER NETWORK IS PHENOMENAL. I’ve owned several luxury branded vehicles and Lincoln has offered me the best service of any dealership I have ever experienced. On demand vehicle loaners, drop off service, no questions asked warranty repair. It’s obvious Ford is looking to boost the image of its premium marquee.

I just got the car from my dealer. First of all the Dealer experience was above the expected service. They delivered the car to me in a pristine conditions. Fit and Finish is great, the seats are out of this world, I had a Mercedes E350 and the comfort and ambience this Continental has is way above the Mercedes. The power of the engine and the way it is delivered to the 4 wheels. It's feel in a category above. The only thing I would criticize is the fuel economy, if you get to happy with the engine revs then the fuel economy goes down...sad because the engine is a silky machinery that calls to be pressed.

I would like to thank all of the pretentious Euro sedan fans and critiques who thumb their noses at American luxury vehicles. Thanks to you, I was able to purchase a new Continental Reserve loaded up with all the features for less than 50k all in and out the door! I love my new Conti which had a sticker of >70k. The 30 way seats and massage are super comfy, the 19 speaker revel system is fantastic, the HUD is not something I was looking for, but now that I have it, I love it. The ride is smooth and it has plenty of "giddy up" even with the mid level 2.7L TT @335hp. No it is not high performance and I didn't expect it to be. The ride is smooth and comfortable, long trips are enjoyable and it has plenty of get up and go when needed. For less than 50k, this vehicle was a steal and Lincoln's poor sales seems to be more about everyone's desire for the Navigator and other SUVs rather than any shortcomings in the Conti. If you are in the market for a luxury sedan, I would recommend at least driving a Conti and running the numbers. No way I could've landed a new Euro sedan with all the options for under 50k.

My Continental is a 2017 Select A200 with White Tricoat with the Cappuccino Leather/Espresso Wood interior, which prompted my wife to name it, "The White Knight." I wanted a nice looking, comfortable, and well equipped luxury car. This car has exceeded my expectations, especially the quality of the materials inside the car. It is fast enough (but not meant to be a racer with a 3.7 Litre engine), it is incredibly quiet and comfortable, it rides so soft on any road surface, and it is solid with no creeks and rattles. The Continental is also very safe, top rated by IIHS with a safety plus rating - that was an important factor. I also like the free concierge maintenance pick-up and return plan that comes with the Lincoln, along with a free Lincoln loaner car while my car is worked on. The Lincoln Dealership treated me extremely well during the purchase process. They have a Lincoln Brand Champion Representative who gave me "five star" service acquainting me to the car, all its many features, and maintenance and service plans.

I also own a 2009 Lincoln MKS which I love and still have. It is getting up there in mileage (176k) so my other half wanted me to have this. Let me say while okay I could see the room for improvement in the MKS. It looks like Lincoln made a note of all the lessons learned from that car and vowed not to repeat them on the Continental. The Continental is a fantastic car. One thing I like about Lincoln in comparison to other brands is the tech that is put into their cars is never convoluted or confusing to master. I've previously looked at the Acura TLX, RLX, Hyundai Genesis (2015) and the G80. While nice cars, each time I sat in one I felt like the setup was way too busy. And sorry but I see so many Mercedes C300, 400 or whatever floating around it is no longer special to me. It amazes me how both the MKS and Continental are about the same length but Lincoln managed to fit so much more back seat room and better trunk space into this new car than the MKS. The Continental is a roomy big car that does not drive like one, which is great in my opinion. Being able to switch between comfort and sport modes is nice. I like a floaty ride but i'm finding that I like the sport mode better. It provides good road feel while also exuding comfort. The base engine has a nice pickup and unless you are a race car driver it is is good for everyday driving. The upgraded engines seem like a "nice to have" but not having it is not a deal breaker on this car. The gas mileage is acceptable but not great. One great thing is this car can take regular gas but operates even better on mid-level fuel and doesn't necessarily need premium gas. The 20-inch tires are way better than the 18 or 19 inches in my opinion. If getting this car please do not do so without getting the Navigation or the Dual Moonroof. Both add to the total experience of this car. As for buying this car brand new, I don't know if I would pay 54K-80k for it but as a certified used car with a good warranty on it, it is an excellent buy. Well worth the money.

I am a mid 40s male and traded in my mustang gt for a nearly fully loaded continental a month ago. All I can say is what a great car. The car looks great inside and out, there is nothing in my opinion that matches the Conty's style. Understated class. The car is very quiet and comfortable. The perfect position seats are great and the revel system sounds great. The car accelerates very well and has plenty of power for passing and getting down the road quickly. What I also really like about this car is that it is all American. I would recommend this car to anyone.

Prepare to be amazed! I have been driving Lincolns for almost 20 years. So, I am very familiar with the brand, and I love it. This new Continental's ride is superb and I think you'll be amazed that Lincoln could have outdone themselves with re-inventing this model. Enjoy!!

I had some extra time this year so I ordered my car with the specific options I wanted. A nice perk that I'm not sure if the competitors will do. Lincoln has superior customer service. I am impressed with my whole experience. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and I think it is the coolest car on the road for the value. I am disappointed by some of the negative reviews of this car I have read. I just don't see it. I think Lincoln nailed it and am looking forward to spending time in the car. I am still getting used to the seats. It is nice to have the massaging seats with the leg extensions. (Highly recommend the 30 way seats) This car has both performance and luxury. Its also quieter than the competitors and the car doesn't scream excess. Nope, its not a Mercedes and I'm glad.. update. Still the car and dealership experience. Update 7/18/19 - I am still in love with this car. I think I am going to get Red next time. Update 7/19/2020 - Have taken delivery on a custom ordered the reserve in Red Carpet metallic. This one is loaded. I think buying the car again is enough for this review. I am sad Lincoln won't be selling me any more Continentals. **********************Update******************** I am selling my car in March and will not be buying another Lincoln. Thanks Lincoln. It was fun while it lasted.

This 2017 Continental Reserve with many Black Label options is/has everything I have wanted. It looks classy, it has plenty of power, it handles very well and yet has a cushy ride. It is the perfect blend of power, performance, comfort and tech. yes, there are euro cars that have better sport performance, but I wanted a luxury cruiser that can still do 0-60 in 6 sec. Massaging/heated/cooled front AND back seats??? Heck, I can start my car from anywhere I have internet access from my phone. If it's cold, it turns on the rear defroster, the heat and heated seats. THAT is BIG when you work inside a large building. I paid more than 15k less to get a similar equipped and sized car over the euro competition. I have owned MB, Caddy and Volvo, and loved each one of them.... this one beats them all. UPDATE: well, I've had Connie for over 3 years/32K miles so far. The car still looks/handles/performs like a dream. my only minor issue that has come up is a loud bussing/vibrating noise that come from the back window area for 10 seconds when I first put the car in reverse. After 10 seconds, it goes away. car doesn't act differently, and if I hit reverse again within 5 minutes it doesn't do it...but it will do it again if I hit reverse after driving for awhile. It's really odd. I'd buy this car again in a heartbeat. Of the Mercedes e320, Subaru Impreza, Ford Mustang and Ford Expedition I currently own, it is the favorite and the one I take on long trips. Never for work, just for enjoyment. 2nd UPDATE: I have owned Connie now for 4 years, have 47zK on her. She handles and drives just like the day I bought her w 8K. No new issues to report. The only thing to report is that I have lost the remote connection to the car from my phone, as the modem in the car used 2G cell signals and now the cell companies have stopped using that signal. I can pay $800 to have a new modem installed and I may at some point. I loved that feature.

Have about 1800 miles. Car is great get's a lot of complements, I love it. The lighting is out of site. Has a few quirks I am not happy with. 1- it does not automatically lock when you walk away, maybe in the program but I cannot find it. 2- Lack of engine information, temp, oil pressure battery voltage. 3- the head light control switch is on the lower left of the steering wheel, you cannot read the symbols setting in the drivers seat, I have to get out and kneel on the floor to see it, maybe it is because I am getting old.

Have had Caddys, MB, BMW and this Lincoln drives them in the dirt. I absolutely love everything about this Black Label and cannot believe they have stopped making them. Am currently searching for another because we love this one so much. Edmunds has an affinity for anything foreign so please take that into consideration when looking. BMW has horrible HVAC, MB had horrible electronics, my Escalade was a piece of junk. Everybody has an opinion. I love these Continentals and will sadly see their demise.

When I saw the Diamond Blue Metallic 2018 Continental Select, I had to give it a close look. It had the options I would have selected: twin panel moonroof, CD player, 20 inch aluminum wheel , and climate package. Since I live in a snow belt AWD with a 61,235 sticker. I was impressed with the power and torque of the 2.7 twin turbo motor that uses regular gas. It’s torque rating is only 20 ft/lbs shy of the optional 400 horse motor. So I took the plunge and am amazed at 30mpg at 65 mph and 24 mpg overall ( more hwy driving than city). No quality issues so far. People compliment my color choice! It’s a comfortable car wit limo like back seat. I didn’t get the optional stereo, and it’s not necessary. In short so far so good and a good value!

I think I purchased the first one sold in wisconsin. It's a beautiful smooth car with two problems. Using the push button shifter, its very easy to mistakenly push the Reverse button instead of the Park button. That could cause a serious accident if you don't double check which button you pushed before taking your foot off the break. Second annoyance is that the GPS is out of date because it doesn't accept addresses that my 3 year old Tom Tom in my truck or my PC's Mapquest does. It also displays out of date speed limits i.e., I-43 in Wisconsin is 70 mph, the GPS says its the old 65 mpg changed two years ago. I noticed this on other roads too, completely not up to date. I am sure they figured on this for a future upgrade for $400 in a year or so as they did with my old 2010 MKS. I complained about this to the dealer and they basically told me "what you got you got," I called the Lincoln company and they sent me to a website where I could have spent the next two years of my limited life trying to figure it out. I think for $74,000 they should take care of it!

American Luxury

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

Lincoln has done a great job with this modern interpretation of the classic American luxury car. We bought it used, with 31,000 miles on it 3 weeks ago for $27k. Thanks to the 4 year factory warranty, we still have 6 months remaining. It had been a special order, leased car with a MSRP of over $55,000. The options checked on this "Select": AWD, climate package, panoramic sunroof, blind spot/cross traffic detection and platinum white metallic paint. The base normally aspirated 3.7 V-6 engine is the only demerit and it is a minor one. On the plus side this engine is a long lived, powerful (enough) Ford standard which should be very reliable. The engine's 305 horsepower while matching the power of the old V-8 falls short of the older engines in terms of smoothness and silence. The exhaust note and vibration at idle are pronounced and while not unwelcome in a Mustang are out of place in this luxury car. Otherwise I haven't a negative thing to say about this car after 3 weeks of ownership. While styling and comfort are very subjective, my wife and I believe the car lovely, well finished and exceptionally comfortable. With standard 10 adjustment seats, my wife, who is very particular; after the test drive pronounced it the most comfortable car she had ever sat in. There is a certain exclusivity that attends Continental ownership; the highest sales year to date, was 2017 with 12,012 sold in the US; that same year Mercedes sold 15,888 of their flagship S Class in the US. Among several other luxury sedans we test drove at the time of purchase, was a 2012 Mercedes S550 (50,000 miles and the dealership asking $5,000 less). Indeed, I was surprised; the S Class had always been a "halo car" of mine. Then again, they say best not meet ones hero and in fairness to the Mercedes, it was an older car by 5 years with 20,000 more miles on it. The Mercedes was the superior "performance sedan" but I own a Corvette; so I have that covered. The Continental was unquestionably a better luxury car than the Mercedes. If you don't believe me; then you should drive them back to back as we did. Another nice thing about this Continental is that even though it is 3 years old, it still looks as new as a 2020. Rumors suggest 2020 or 2021 will mark the end of the car's production. Sedans, at least in the US, are becoming increasingly rare, which is a real shame (we also own a AWD Highlander...so while we appreciate the "utility" of the 3rd seat and cargo capacity of the Highlander, we rarely need it unless we have out of town company). There are many interesting things about the Continental, most already fully detailed by other reviewers; but I'll mention a few of my favorites. The car welcoming you with lighting as you approach it is a nice classy touch- when dark, you can see the lights underneath the mirrors project down the Lincoln logo upon the pavement and upon opening the doors the word Lincoln is illuminated along the threshold. The electric "push button" entry and self closing doors and trunk are literally a nice touch; together with the kick of the foot trunk opening and closing (it takes a bit of practice to master the trunk... center the foot and pretend you are kicking a ball...viola). The cap-less fuel fill is nice. This and much more, particularly with respect to the technology in this car (variable instrument cluster and Syn 3 system which is fairly user friendly compared to others). I really appreciate the redundant manual HVAC and audio controls and we default to the manual controls over the touch screen. The push button gear selection I could live with or without; it took my wife awhile to get used to it. While the vertical placement makes for less of a reach, this and because the buttons are flat takes some concentration to select the right gear. The touch pad door lock is handy for getting into the car and locking it without the fob. A couple of things you might not read elsewhere- the hood, front quarter panels, fuel door and trunk lid are aluminum. The glove box has a yellow button that opens an upper compartment where you can store your owner's manual (allowing for the full use of the glove box). How many cars do you know of that have an AC outlet? This car has one. The cup holders for the back seat passengers in the fold down console is a nice touch. The wood trim, is real wood, perhaps too nice, because looks artificial. Also the split folding rear seats might offer some "utility." Learning the car and its technology suite with its 538 page manual might prove to be a heavy lift for some. It took me about a week of back and forth to get the car set up to our liking. I've put our car in the "comfort" mode; that's what we wanted in a luxury car; and the car rides and handles great in hat setting. If you are in the market for a well made, uniquely American (and American made) luxury car; you'd be hard pressed to find a better automobile.

LINCOLN GIVING THE COMPETITION A RUN!

2018 Lincoln Continental Select 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

WOW, WOW, WOW... I just leased the 2018 Lincoln Continental. All I can say is What A Ride!! My last 2 cars have been the Audi A6 and the Genesis G80. This Lincoln blows them out of the water. Comfort is simply the best. Technology is amazing. From the 8 inch screen to the apps to the remote start. Unbeatable. I really hope Lincoln sells more of this car. Im already thinking about renewing with Lincoln if the model is still around. I have driven it for about a month now and the feedback I get from showing to people is great.. A lot of them did not know that Lincoln made this car. They should do a better job of marketing the vehicle. The only drawback is the fuel economy. only 19 miles per gallon in the city.

Star Trek Technology in a Classy American Sedan

2017 Lincoln Continental Reserve 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful
I ordered the Reserve Model RWD 2.7L turbo, with about everything except the halogen lights and backseat package. It took a little over 2 months to arrive but it was worth the wait. When I drove the test model which had the 3.7L engine, I was wowed immediately by the LED instrument panel, the performance and the active noise cancelling system. Upon delivery when I drove the car I thought that they had mistakenly put the 3.7L engine in it as I could not tell the difference in acceleration. My previous car was a 2011 Cadillac DTS. Comparing these two regarding ride and handling, the Cady gets the edge on smooth ride, but the Lincoln blows away the DTS on handling. Even in the “comfort” mode the car handles really nice, but you will notice a bump more profoundly if you are use to driving more of a land yacht. The Good: The technology is Star-Trek like. The smart cruise, lane keeper, and emergency braking features work great. I have a bad back and the seat massager is wonderful. It works much better than that on the DTS. I ordered the 13 speaker Revel sound system which blows away anything I have ever listened to in an automobile including the Bose systems. If you are a music nut research Revel, you will be impressed. The push button transmission is great, no clunky shifter in the middle to get in the way, and its idiot proof as you have to have your foot on the brake in order to put the car into D or R. The backup camera system and over head profile view are very nice additions, and the on-demand front camera is great for getting into tight quarters. The fit and finish and overall appearance are as nice as you could possible want, and I have gotten many compliments on the car since I have owned it. The Bad: There isn’t much to pick at, but there are a couple of things I would like to see changed. First the console is so far back that it is extremely difficult to access from the driver’s seat. It would nice if they could redesign the console and move it forward 4 or 5 inches. Second the translucent top which covers the entire car looks awesome but the sun roof only opens up about 1 foot, which left me a little cold. The Ugly: The automatic parking feature did not work properly when the car was delivered. The salesman and I drove the car around the lot testing it. The system failed to identify perfectly fine parking places and then tried to back the car into a “space” about 5 foot wide – thank goodness the human driver can over-ride! I have not had the car back yet for servicing so I don’t know what fixing it will entail. My conclusion is the car is worth every bit of a 5 star rating. I absolutely love it and encourage anyone interesting in a full size luxury sadden to test one out.

2017 Lincoln Continental Reserve 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
11 of 12 people found this review helpful
First of all, I should mention that this Continental is the sixteenth Lincoln I have owned. I bought my first (a three-year-old 1973 Continental Town Car) when I was eighteen years old. At twenty-one, I purchased my first brand new one, a 1979 Continental Mark V. In between there have been other Continentals, a Mark VIII, multiple Town Cars, a couple of Navigators, a Mark LT pickup, and an MKT. Roughly half were purchased new, the rest were used. After a massive stroke, my wife is unable to drive but we keep a sedan around because it's easier for her to get in and out of than my daily driver, an F-150 Super Crew Cab 4x4. We bought this particular car as a Certified Pre-Owned recently. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I find the white platinum metallic tri-coat with cappuccino interior to be a lovely combination. In my early sixties now, I really wish cars hadn't become so technical. It's a sign of the times however, and the manufacturers have to keep up in order to survive. Our son and daughter-in-law reside with us in order to help care for my wife so one allure of this particular car was its rear seat package. Whoever is riding back there deserves just as much comfort as the front seat passengers. The massage feature in the front and rear seats is phenomenal, as is the front seats' 30-way perfect positioning. The Revel sound system is magnificent. We purchased it at a dealership about a hundred miles from home so our first drive was a pretty good test of its comfort. I personally find the ride (in comfort mode) to be similar to my last Town Car (2008) and better than my MKT (2012) or most recent Navigator (2016). The front fascia reminds me of the 2011 Jaguar XJL Supercharged we used to have but the ride is considerably smoother. It is my sincere hope that it will be more reliable as well. That Jaguar, along with a BMW I owned years ago, led to me swear off any vehicle that isn't American! Admittedly, we haven't had the car long enough yet to know how it's going to go but early indications are that we will be quite satisfied with it. I cannot think of anything else I could have purchased at the same price point that would have rivaled it for comfort and style. Edmunds is prompting me to update my review. After having owned this Continental for one year, I can only say that I like it just as much. Its performance has been flawless and I continue to be impressed with just how much car it really is. My primary concern is its depreciation factor due to sedans falling "out of favor" with consumers. Of course, that was a factor in the affordable price I paid for it last year but then Lincoln pulled the plug on Continental and MKZ and worsened the prospects. The current chip shortage, leading to soaring used car prices, has currently raised the average trade-in price on my car to a few thousand dollars more than I paid for it so we're considering whether to profit while we can or commit to just keeping it forever. We tried out a new Lincoln Corsair yesterday and were actually impressed. Entry/egress, if anything, is better for my wife than with the Continental. If I can find a new, carried-over 2020 Corsair at clearance pricing and either sell or trade my Continental while its value is up, we may take advantage of the situation... but that is no reflection on the Continental. It continues to serve us well but I've come to believe a small crossover like Corsair is probably the better choice financially. I made my last entry in the review almost a year ago. We did end up trading our Continental for new Lincoln Corsair last May. The Continental served us well and I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it. Due to pandemic-related increases in the used car values, I actually received more for it on trade-in than I paid for it a year earlier, so it essentially paid for me to drive it. Although I no longer own my Continental, my advice to anyone considering one is: go for it! You won't be sorry!

I recently replaced my 2014 Lincoln MKZ. Prior to that I owned a 2010 and A 2011 MKS. I was impressed by the smooth ride of the Continental. I opted for the 3.0 400 HP AWD Model. This is the best Lincoln I have driven and has exceeded my expectations. I liked each MKS I had, I actually bought 2 with 3.5 Ecoboost engines, had but I love the Continental. American elegance mixed with power and performance is exactly what I was looking for. Didn’t expect such a smooth ride and all the features. Would highly recommend.

Excellent in every way. Extremely knowledgeable and very efficient dealership. Although I hate car salesman this was a great experience. They starting by sending me lots of emails so I sent them one that said "Chill; it's getting to the top of the list", and they chilled. Shortly afterwards I went and took the Continental for a test drive and fell in love. I am leasing a 2017 Lincoln Continental and absolutely love it. My old car is a 2001 Crown Victoria so I am finally joining the 21st Century and loving every minute of it. Thanks you guys!

I was the first to buy my new Lincoln and watched for it over two years. First major problem was the doors would not close, they are electric and I had to drive to the dealer holding the door closed with my left hand. The car was constantly shaking and dealer could not find a problem finally after taking the engine apart it was decided that I needed a new engine. Yes a new engine, and a car with 24,000 miles. Get's better now my backup camera needs to be replaced. I am back in the loaner car..

Had it since then, 2/13, told today that "Continentals have to be run less than every 3 days, as modules talk to one another, draining battery". I say: BS. Has anyone else had this problem???

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!

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.

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.

Tires don't last

I have owned a brand new 2017 Lincoln Continental Reserve and 2018 Lincoln Continental Reserve. They are good looking vehicles and fun to drive. However, you will only get 25K miles on the tires. My alignment is perfect but the inside of all tires are gone. I thought it was maybe bad tires to then have the exact same experience with the 2018. Then, after spending $2500 on new tires, I got only 25k more. I was told by service that the engine is too heavy. What, to heavy? If I knew this, I would have not bought the second one. I also keep having a low engine oil pressure warning. When I take it in for service, they say they fix it but I happens every 3 months. It is clearly electronic because all you do is turn the car off and back on and it is fine again. They can't figure it out and I have given up on it. It sucks to pull over on the interstate to turn it off. When the warning comes on, you totally lose power if you hit the gas. So, hard to understand how just turning the car off fixes it but I am done with the dealership telling me that I need to change my oil. It has happened 4 days after oil was changed. It has now happened about 10 times and took it in 3 times. The 2017 has the rear seat package. It is a nice package. Looks real sharp. You would think it would come with a DVD player for the money. Also, the 2017 battery fried at 28K miles because the alternator was hooked up backwards, they tell me. The 2018 battery fried at 45K miles. Luckily it was still under warranty. I have owned tons of vehicles. For the money, the Continental seems to have to many problems. My favorite car has been Jaguar XJL. I have had plenty of SUVs as well. The navigator has been the best with the 3rd row having a ton of leg room.

No large American sedan choices so I ordered a Continental in March of 2018. My husband picked all the bells and whistles he fell in love with from the tv commercials. We waited until the end of July for the delivery. Within the first few weeks, the ac went out. Dealer probably goosed the Freon but it lasted until the weather changed. Fourth month the trunk refused to respond, not to the fob, not to the dash button, not to the emergency pull in the trunk. After TWO WEEKS in the shop and supposedly a latch change and a complete reprogramming of the car, dealer admitted that the car was "too new and no one knows much about it"... but they did get the trunk to work. Month six, no more exterior sensor warning system or parking assist. Decided to drive it from Virginia to Florida anyway and guess what we found in Florida, NO AC - again. Dealer's response, we verified the ac is not getting cold but couldn't find a leak. We charged it and added dye. If it acts up again, get it back in and they should be able to find the leak. Dealer's response to no sensors - they worked fine for them, "it's going to have to be one of those things that needs to bring back when it is happening more often." It hadn't worked for almost two weeks the day it was taken in so I have no clue what "more often" might mean. I'm not thinking I'm going to keep this car long if this becomes a pattern.

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!

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.

Well been driving Caddys with Northstar for for past 30 years, and hands down this is a better car, however, I have issues with some for Fords decisions, like for example, the radio on is not remembered based on driver (FOB), the display also is not remembered - 65K for a car that cannot retain the radio and display setting for the fob used like really? That said after driving a CT6 and This Conti, 1. Value for money ++++, 2. Confort +++, 3. I Hate Fords and gave a try when brought back a REAL car name AND they won me over with this car - THO ticks me off on a couple points, like the radio / display as mentioned above, the global windows don't open the moon roof as advertised on Lincolns site and still awaiting Ford/Lincoln exec to contact me (been 2 months), 4. Seeing mixed reviews, the target market should love this care DRIVE it with the 3.0, your mid - life crisis and need for lux AMERICAN CAR are wrapped in one. I will agree with the mixed review on the 6 speed trans - very poor when traveling 70 on highways / shifts erratically when need to pass, and the MPG not any where near what my v8 Northstar got, so those are also negitives, but someone in this market not gonna care about the MPG - (nor am I - that's moot). Over all i would rate 4+ stars, and I only considered FORD because they didn't take bailout money, my original choice to replace the Caddy (as the CT6 was frankly not something i buy with the pricetag or the comfort) was a german car, but i rather own AMERICAN car, and have never owned a forigen car. Value for money the Conti should be looked at. NOTE TO EDMONDS you don't allow or show the 3.0 so selected the 2.7 - please fix. March 2019 Update - still love this car, and i can frankly say after a year and now after 10K in miles its the best car i've ever owned, I still have yet to here fro Lincoln / for on the global window open problem, what a joke thier 30K fusion, and other liclons with factoey mon roof the global open it, but not on the conti, what a joke - and a joke not getting Ford / Lincoln to sofrrect such a simple software problem. FORD PLEASE RESPOND BEEN A YEAR STILL WAITING! Sept 2019 (20190922) - Still yet to here from FORD or Lincoln on the GLOBAL WINDOW OPEN on the Conti, and roof not opening - FOR SUCH A SIMPLE CODE UPDATE. Secondly, all fords that have the keyless entry after code you use 5 to open trunk also dont work on the CONTI, but on all other Fords and Lincolns works. Over all i STILL LOVE THE CAR, and would recommend it (the 3l TT 400HP model, BUT FORD CORP apparently can care less on make customer happy and fixing these minor software issues on this specific car - makes no sence 70K for a car and the 20k cheaper car Global Window Open works properry for the sunroof) and the 5 after code to open trunk also does. FORD RESPOND! I choose you because your took NO bailout money like your US compitors did, and expected betters support on these to topics. 09/2020 - Still a fantastic car and still love it. Lincolns service is absoloutely fantastic, GM dont even come close. Only one compliant is the map updates this is second time had to pay for it to get updated. 09/2021 - STILL GREAT CAR AND GREAT SERVICE, ITS ASHAME FORD/LINCOLN HAS MOVED TO SOLELY SUVs, NOT SURE THAT WAS WISE DECISION.

Not my Town Car

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

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.
