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.

2018 Lincoln Continental Black Label 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)

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 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.

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.

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!!

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!

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.

LINCOLN GIVING THE COMPETITION A RUN!

2018 Lincoln Continental Select 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful
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.

Car was delivered (new-97 miles) 12/29/18. 1/7/19 - wouldn't start, delivered with defective battery cell, replaced. 1/27/19 - wouldn't start; "system shut down to protect battery". 1/31-wouldn't start again in shop. 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???

I have a 2018 black label Continental which I thoroughly enjoy. Features like e-latch handles and 30 way seats are not found in German sport sedans . I like the comfortable ride , quiet cabin and heads up display. Car has been trouble free and the concierge service is great.
