Excellent ride, Best steering. Roomy. Beautiful interior. I have owned 25 automobiles in 55 years of loving cars. This is the best overall auto I have owned . 135k miles and only one small repair @ 350 idollars. Except at 150,000 water pump leaked this water pump is inside the motor internal water pump. 7 hours to repair parts hard to get as wanted OEM parts 3.7 and 3.5 motor has this design FLAW, I call it internal water pump inside the motor. More than # $1500 repair bill.

Really a sweet ride! My MKS with Ecoboot is an amazing car. It was great in the winter, going uphill on a road with 4 to 7 inches of snow--even with 20 inch wheels and tires! The only other vehicle that didn't get stuck was my neighbor's Tahoe. I was really impressed. There is a ton of room and I really like the leather they use. It feels really soft but has held up well (20,000 miles)

2010 MKS

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.

Suprisingly Sporty

Really nice car with excellent performance and handling. Nav and entertainment package is great. Steerable headlights was a surprise. Haven't had long enough to comment on reliability. So many automatic featues there are lots of things that could go wrong. Hopefully they won't but time will tell. Back seat room is awesome. Paddle shift in manual and adaptive cruise. The only thing I don't like is location of trunk release in glove box. I'm in car love!

Should be named the Lincoln SHO

I mean seriously, this thing is insane 355 HP it’s literally got every dange option available for its year. The ride and handling is just smooth like butter but if you need some power it bunkers down and hugs the road, I’ve actually drove a SHO before and what I like the most about the MKS is, it has all the power of the SHO but the quiet and serene”ness” of Lincoln. Would totally buy it again and this one I got has 116k miles and still feels brand new.
