My new MKS
Trading in a 2000 Mercedes S430 with 109,000 miles and needing new suspension, we almost bought a LaCrosse and then a Genesis. Figured I would save some cash and went to look at the new Taurus, yet was steered to the Lincoln MKS first. I had never researched this or even seen one. Knowing I needed to trade my ailing S430, I wanted to do something that day. Even though I was still smitten with the Genesis, it came with no cooling front seats-a must for Arizona summers. The more I drilled down on the MKS, the more it appealed. This while not even hearing about Ecoboost which I never saw and feel is overrated/priced. This 2010 MKS is very very nice and a welcome addition post Mercedes !

Watch Your Coolant Level!!!
I really liked this car. I took good care of it and really racked up the miles. I am the type of guy that usually gets 250,000 miles out of a car. I do expect reasonable maintenance costs to accomplish this goal. I realize water pumps are something that fail. It is to be expected. Usually there are signs to look out for. This model weeps coolant into the crank case making it very difficult to diagnose a bad water pump. I would be able to live with that but then I found out most shops will not replace the water pump on these because the engine almost has to come out to get to it under the timing chain cover and the cost by the dealership was over $2200! I find this unacceptable! My warning to owners of this car is to unload it before you need this repair. Mine made it to 164,000 miles.

My Lincoln Is Better Than Your Review
All of you Lincoln MKS Nay-Sayers. Immediately retract your statements of discontent. I recently came off lease of a Mercedes GL 450 and was quite apprehensive about the MKS due to the lack-luster reviews it got from non- consumers who's testomony to Lincoln are memories of their grand parents Continental. I have the Eco-Boost MKS in candy red and loaded to the tilt with amenities. The interior spacial accomodations rival that of the; BMW-750, Audi-A8, Lexus-LS460 as well as the S550. At the cost of the; BMW-5 Series, A6 and or the E-Class. The only thing that I miss about my Mercedes is the thing that most of you can't see past. A LOGO MKS VS Genesis: You're Joking Right
Torque of the town
The ecoboost engine is awesome - smooth and quiet but deceptively powerful. I appreciate all the torque at low rpm. The car moves out strongly without high revs or drama. The cabin is extremely quiet at all speeds and is very comfortable. The sync and nav systems are flawless and user friendly. Although the press has been mostly positive, I think this car is too quickly dismissed by the public due to Lincoln's lack of prestige compared with luxury brands.
