problem with engine cutting out - no warning. Coils - replaced & replaced- worsened until unable to drive more than 3 weeks without same problem reoccuring. Dealer must buy back.....legal action taken. Understand this fault common with this model.... also telescoping steering wheel constantly breaking - replaced - lasts a month.... constant problem fuel cap not releasing

Combination of features and performance with this vehicle. Exterior appearance still looks fresh and the interior ergonomics are perfect. Very comfortable for highway traveling. Despite what others say the car tracks well in winter conditions. Overall LSC trim pkg transforms this car into a luxury vrsion of the Mustang Cobra. Receive lots of compliments on the vehicle from strangers.

Awesome styling, fit finish inside/out. Only good thing I have to say for the mark 8. Car has 83k. Problem after problem. Blown head gasket, (2k in repairs) new low mileage bullet, 1k for engine, 1k for install. Freaking steering column goes throughthe exhaust manifold, column removal to swap engine. Blend air door 1k to repair. Door handles made of pot metal, breaks often. 14 mpg city/22 highway. Drive shaft, brakes, elect fail. Ford has no body parts, when found, are high bucks! My 4 door Buick Ultra v6 (blown) is faster, Mark ran 14.72 quarter mile. Buick Park Ave 14.38. What next will fail, air ride, neon tail lamp or HID lamps. My Collectors Edition is parked, may bring $ 1 day.

This car is poorly designed. The caps to the coils are now splitting after 76K miles requiring the entire coil to be replaced because of a design defect and a $5.00 part. The car sometimes acts like the starter is gone. Wouldn't start for 2 days...on the 3rd day it was like nothing was ever wrong.

This car is a classic. Great design, great performance - a real road machine. This is my fourth Lincoln, and my third Mark. Too bad that Ford decided to stop making these luxury coupes. Have 29000 miles on this car and have had only one minor warranty job done. Sporty handling and a smooth comfortable ride - city and open road.
