Used 2012 Lincoln MKS Consumer Reviews
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

Best Experience Ever
Was looking to replace 1995 Mercedes S320 that was on it's last leg. From the moment we walked onto the showroom floor to the final signing of our purchase used Lincoln MKS. Every bit of this purchase was above and beyond expectations!! This car is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
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.
