Great car, but needs more polish

I have had the car since Dec 2008 and love it. The car has great appeal, good power, roomy, with a great nav and Sync system and overall very comfortable. However, I have to agree that the opening to the truck is small, considering the size of truck is so enormous. In addition, I have had some issues that are annoying, but do not deter me for my love of this vehicle. The transmission is a little rough around the edges and would shift harshly depending on the throttle input. In addition, this car does not like the cold. Every time the temperature is below 20F, I am unable to get sound from my radio or the media center, until the car warms up.

After driving SUV's for 10 years, decided to try a car again. Drove the big Audi, Lexus, Volvo, Benz, BMW and then the MKS. Loved the interior and options of the MKS compared to the rest and bought it that day!

Whatta Deal

An unbelievable fun car to drive. Bought a 2009 "leftover" with a great rebate from the manufacturer. Looked around at a lot of mfg's and models and the MKS stood out. No regrets in purchasing this vehicle or the value for the money. Thanks to edmunds.com, was able to negotiate a good deal, actually got a better price for this new vehicle (only had 110 miles) than Edmunds had listed for a Certified Pre- Owned.

Too Many Quirks in MKS

I have owned the MKS for 6 months & have had it in the shop 4 times. The week after I purchased car the radio would not come on unless I cut the car on & off several times, plus there is a very loud popping sound from the speakers when I first start car. There are constant rattles in dash. These problems have been going on since I purchased car. They are not certain of cause. Now I have a new rattle in the sunroof.The rattles are so annoying you have to cut radio up to drown out, since the radio does not work half the time this is a problem. Also cup holders are entirely too small. I have been in a rental 3 times since i purchased & currently in one now. Not Happy with purchase at all!

Power and gas mileage

All being already said about the car in other reviews, I'll just say that when my wife drove the car for the first time she was so very impressed with the handling and the smooth ride that I was taken back by her reaction. She normally says a car is a car! The engine power is excellent and having had two Continentals with V8 engines, I really can't tell that I'm driving a V6. I have about 3500 miles now and just drove south on I-95 to FL going the speed limits (55-70) and got a max 31.4 MPG (29.5-31.4 avg. depending on speed)using regular unl. fuel. The car was carrying 4 adults with a full trunk of luggage.
