New (gently used rather) MKS for Me

Brought home my MKS a couple of weeks ago, and so far have only good things to say. The car looks great, and is a pleasure to drive. From the excellent power of the twin turbo v-6 to the well appointed interior, it's just about everything I was looking for in a luxury sedan. I purchased the Tuxedo Black version, and once I had the windows tinted out, it made the car look complete. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. Just a note, if you're looking for a 'sport' luxury sedan, this isn't the car for you. If you're after a well appointed cruiser that rides like a dream, then I would suggest checking out the MKS
Replaced with a 2013 Lincoln MKs

Able to negotiate a great deal on a high mileage 3 year old luxury car with all the options and have enjoyed every moment driving it since. Began with 70,000 miles and have not had a single mechanical, functional or accessory problem. The twenty inch wheels were a problem when finding winter snow treads - so I bought eighteen inch wheels and new snow/ice tires for winter driving. Car did great in a difficult winter. Engine [V6 ecoboast] has plenty of power when needed, otherwise delivers high mpg [22-27] on road trips. I unqualifiedly recommend searching for this model coming off lease with many miles of future driving pleasure. I bought the 3 year 36,000 miles premium warranty and should have saved my money. Not a single claim or need for it, after 17,000 miles of rigorous country driving.

I have 2000 miles on my 2010 MKS and I couldn't be more pleased. My last American made car was over 15 years ago, last 4 cars were Acuras: 2 Legends, 1 RL and 1 MDX. I'm enjoying this baby immensely and have never, ever had so many strangers come up to me and tell what a good looking car it is. One common comment: Lincoln got it right this time. Most amazing to me is the overall mpg of 21.2. No trips just around town. Can't wait to take it on a 2,500 trip this summer.
Beautiful Car but get the warranty!

The cars styling is beautiful and it still turns heads and gets compliments. I have a 2010 for the last 3 years with all the bells and whistles you can get. It had around 50K when i got it. For the price and what you get its very nice. I love all the space and the Ecoboost has plenty of getup and go. I don't use the auto park feature very much but it works well. Now for the bad. The leather in this car has got to be the worst. I don't put a lot of miles on this car as I slug to work and travel often I would have hoped it would hold up better. I've had infiniti's that wore much better. The gears on the tilting and telescoping steering wheel stripped so I had to get that fixed at about 55k miles. I've had to take it back to the dealer for a transmission leak twice. First at 68K they said the seals where bad and replaced them. Then again at 78K they said the PTU needed to be replaced. After snow and freezing rain I got in the car and water was pouring in from the lights above the rear view mirror. They said that the drain was clogged causing water back up and enter through these sunroof. The water leak was not covered and i had to pay 580 bucks to get it fixed. I'm also not a fan of the way water drains through the doors. There are holes covered by a rubber flap under the door. Sometimes they get clogged causing water to build up in the door after a rain storm. You can hear it sloshing around when you drive. You have to open the door and pull the rubber flap to allow the water to drain. Ford says this is how the designed it but having sitting water in a door I'm sure will lead to rust later. Also I've had to get the key fob replaced once as it just stopped working. I'm glad I got the 5 year 100k miles gold warranty on the used car. $100 deductible and they give you a loaner car. I'd suggest you make sure you have the warranty if you buy this car used. I'm going to get rid of this car as soon as the warranty runs out. Too bad because I actually like it a lot. The quality is just lacking.

I shopped long and hard; compared Lincoln MKS to MB 350E and Infiniti M37. 350E doesn't have half the bells and whistles and cost at least $6k more. The Infiniti M's are very impressive with lots of style and bells and whistles--but at $8k more. You absolutely cannot beat the MKS for the money. It has every comfort creature I could ask for. It's got size over the 350E and the Infiniti M. It has a luxury ride while remaining sporty. You've got to give this car a serious look before buying. It can't be beat. Oh yeah, and regular gas and no maintenance $ to worry about for 3 years!
MKS rocks but Quality is Not Job 1

This is a vehicle every consumer in the luxury class market ought to experience! My MKS is a pleasure to drive. My two complaints have been with one electrical issue after another - on both my new MKS and my folks' as well - and the "superior" leather that wears through extremely quickly :( FOMOCO has so much to offer. Yet, if it wants to OWN the industry again, it needs to look to Honda's QC. Quality is way subpar for the price demanded by the manufacturer.

I just recently purchased the 2010 MKS with EcoBoost; and thus far I am satisfied. I highly suggest getting MKS with EcoBoost. The 3.5 liter twin turbo engine gives the MKS the power it needs. The base engine is okay, but once you test drive this car with the EcoBoost, you will not go with the base engine. Quality is excellent inside and out.

I recently bought a used, 2010 MKS Ecoboost. most of the reviews I have read have not been very flattering. However, in my opinion, the reviews are very short-sighted. First, it is extremely roomy. It is also extremely powerful, and very fast. Best of all, the fuel mileage so far is incredible! In fact, if there is another large, luxury sedan with this kind of performance, that also delivers fuel mileage near 30 MPG on the highway, I've not found it. Best of all, the values on used, low mileage MKS' cannot be beat. This is an excellent value for someone looking for a very nice, high performance, efficient, luxury sedan.
Sweet ride

This car is very enjoyable to drive and ride in. The electronic package is wonderful and huge moon roof is a delight at night. The car is very easy to drive and a delight to ride in on those long trips...and between all the choices for music you should never be bored. My only complaint is the arm rest on the door is too low and too far away...

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 !

1-owner and my Lincoln is in excellent condition, it's always in the garage and the wife only drives the vehicle to work and back home. The 2010 Lincoln MKS Sedan and is a nice car and very luxurious to drive, the Exterior is Silver and Interior has Black Leather Seats. It's fully loaded with many upgrade options, including a Dual Moonroof and Navigation System. I'm planning to trade it in for a 2016 or 2017 Lincoln model.

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.

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

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.
Have you driven a Lincoln lately?

The ecoboost MKS is a smooth, quiet very quick mid-luxury sedan that does many things well. The combination of performance, comfort and techology is impressive. The Ecoboost engine is a jewel - smooth and quiet yet almost brutally powerful when you want it to be. The high torque at low RPM makes for drama-free performance with low noise levels and little need for downshifts. The Sync and Nav systems work flawlessly and are extremely user- friendly. The adaptive headlights and ambient lighting are nice features, too. While getting generally good press (except from Edmunds) many people will overlook the MKS because it does not have a "luxury" nameplate. They are overlooking a fine car.
The Best car value on the market

This is my 4th Ford vehicle on this former Volvo chases and I absolutely love it! I have one accident in a car like this and that is why I purchased this car because I walked out of the accident with little or no effect from the car totaling collision. This is an A+++ car.

I have had my MKS for almost a year now and love it. The ride is the best. Love the 20" rims and the Navigation system rocks...very easy to use and it's all voice activated..you do not have to stop to put in the address can just use the voice activation button..also the voice controls the cabin temp..radio...love the juke box (cd player can record up to 10gigs of music. Love the auto highbeams (just need to get use to them). 2 thumbs up.
Outstanding car

Driving this car is an absolute pleasure at any speed or surface. The Sync system is incredibly easy to use. It is my favorite vehicle that I have ever owned. I drove everything in its class prior to purchasing and was very happy to be able to buy an American car that is the best.

I love the unique exterior styling and luxurious interior design. Nav system and THX-II audio is fantastic. Great value for the money. An honest down to earth car. Normally aspirated engine has a lot of power. Car for the individual and not the follower.

I had been eyeing this car up for some time - bit the bullet and i know really like it - its drives like a charm, has gadgets galore that i am still discovering - The seats are so comfortable and the sirius/sync technology is GREAT - rear passengers have plenty of room and appreciate the rear heated seats. I love the adapted cruise control! The only complaint that i echo an earlier review - the arm rest on the door are WAY to low - i cant use is comfortably while driving at all - I also agree that above the gear shift should have been built a "cubby" to throw things - it is complete wasted space - all you see is the word Lincoln - the auto high beams is a pain at times as well.
Great car

Traded in a 2000 Corvette that got better gas mileage, but was getting some years. Love my MKS "quick" engine and can pass in these WV Hills--almost as good as the Vette. Glad to have an almost all American made performer.

The MKS is a very comfortable car , great electronics Sync is great, Leather seats are nice, the only (2) real beefs are that when you accelerate quickly the front end is a little sloppy I would think with AWD that this wouldn't happen, and #2 as this car goes around curves it is very loose in handling. , i would think that that would be a little smoother these days, and easier to handle around corners. Styling is great , cabin noise is acceptable, when using bluetooth phone the volume has to be adjusted every time and is not load enough

Lincoln MKS is a nice car, very spacious too. One of the biggest cons (for me) would be how it rides. Going over bumpy roads is quite unpleasant… feels like I’m on a boat. the car rocks back and forth.
