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.

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.

The 2019 Lincoln Continental delivers world class presence, luxury and performance! I am pleased and impressed with the iconic Lincoln Continental, elegant, graceful and understatedly top of this high-end car market segment. I wanted a car that would create comfort and enjoyment for my family. This fabulous car has an interior that nutures care, comfort and welcome. My Mom said, wow you have a Continental!! We bought the car to drive my Mom around town since my Dad passed away. It is such a joy to drive my famy in such amazing and inviting luxury. I love my family and The Lincoln Continental expresses that love in it's world class presence, luxury and performance.

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.

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!

LINCOLN GIVING THE COMPETITION A RUN!

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.

A comfortable and high tech car, but in no way smooth or quiet riding! My F150 rides smoother and more quiet, which was a huge disappointment! Love the high tech, but fell short in some areas, such as lack of audible alert in blind-spot warning. Another pet peeve is the no side view mirrors tilt down availability. Using the parking monitors are not exactly accurate! A sharp looking vehicle with an excellent interior, but some areas fall short with plastic and flimsy trim. This vehicle also requires daily driving of 30 minutes or more in order to maintain proper battery amperage, otherwise, many functions will shut down to preserve battery. Approach lights, door locks, remote start, will be inoperative due to lack of usage, and I use the vehicle as much as 5 times a week with 10-20 minutes if driving each day, but apparently not enough! The idea of preserving the battery is a great idea, but when it shuts down convenience, it becomes a huge inconvenience!!

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.

Maybe I am blindly loyal or I just don't learn, but I have had three Lincolns and everyone has had electrical problems. My first two were MKZs so I thought if I got a Continental, I could avoid them. I was wrong! The latest incident, the engine would shut off while driving and the air conditioner had a mind of its own, put it in the shop for two months waiting for a part. I sold the car since it was spending more time in the shop than in my garage. I did give the car two stars because it was outfitted very nicely. I will never buy a Lincoln again.

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.

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.

Initial drive disappoitment!!!!

I drove this from the selling dealer to my home, then directly to the repair shop! My "new" 2018 Continental Reserve was my worst new car experience out of 16 vehicles I have purchased! Very disappointed in its initial quality and multiple malfunctions which so far has the vehicle in the repair shop 3 weeks and counting to make it drivable. Switching from foreign to USA made vehicle seems to be a mistake!! My patriotic move to support USA made vehicles didn't pan out!! Very disappointed they did not replace the vehicle to make it right, rather was told I had to accept the extensively torn apart repaired vehicle!! Who knows what else I might find wrong with this "lemon!!!" Drove a Continental from the selling dealer to the repair shop!! Pretty sad for a "luxury" vehicle!!!. Malfunctions/failures include Audio system malfunction, Speaker failure, Fuel system software, Oil pan leak, damaged drivers panel, Welcome lighting intermittent failure, Collision alert intermittent, Adaptable suspension iffy (drove similar Reserve and found much smoother). I hope the other buyers have better luck, because Lincoln certainly did not live up to their name on this one!!!! My expectations were high going in, which I'm sure is the reason for the huge disappointment. No combined fuel rating can be given due lack of ownership and malfunctioning fuel system.

It is pathetic that Ford calls this car their Lincoln Flagship. For the past 10 years I have owned 5 Lexus,1 Equus and 1 Cadillac SUV. Lexus has it over all of them including this Lincoln. The Lincoln interior appears to be made of cheaper material. Road stability does not compare to the 2014 Lexus LS460 that I traded in. I checked the used value with less then 2000 miles on this Lincoln after owning it one week and found that the Purchase price of $45,998 was worth less than $40,000 and my Lexus trade in had an asking price of $37,995 on that Dealers lot. My 2014 trade in was almost worth what the 2017 Lincoln. I did request the salesman along with the used car Manager to cancel this purchase and return my trade in. I was told that if I was not happy with this Lincoln that they could put me into another vehicle. After my Lincoln experience I can say honestly that I will not own another Ford/Lincoln product.

The Edmunds crowd overlooks one huge factor with these. I would rather have a 6 year old Black Label than an Audi, Lexus, BMW or Mercedes Sedan made in 2024 because it has a spare tire. PERIOD. Our Continental has been flawless and replaced a S550 Benz. Give me the Lincoln. Looking for a really low mileage unit and I will buy another one in a heartbeat!

Nice body styling. Smoothest engine I've ever had. Have to check the tach to see if it's running. Great milage for a car this size. Plenty of power and very comfortable.

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 .

Lincoln Continental became worthless

Up until 3 1/2 months ago the Continental was a nice car. It did everything well in spite of the cheap looking plastic in the cabin. 3 1/2 months ago a steering assist module went bad. My wife slowly got it to the dealer. While going straight the steering wheel was turned 90 degrees, scarey. The part is not available and there is no word if or when Ford/Lincoln will have it produced. As of now my Lincoln Continental is a worthless hunk of metal and plastic sitting in the dealer's lot. Horrible manufacturer support.
