Love the MKS

The touch screen for control of fan speed and touch screen for radio volume control are terrible. Way to sensitive! The dashboard controls in general require you to take your eyes off the road for to long of a period to operate.

Backup camera and other driver aids make up for poor visibility.

I picked up my 2014 Lincoln MKS (3.7L) about 2.5 years ago with around 40,000 miles. I was coming from a Corolla, so I didn't have much of a sense of what a "fast car" was. I went from dealership to dealership looking at Mustangs, Chargers, Challengers, and they all performed well enough, but they felt cheap. All of the plastic was creaking, broken, or just ashy from age. (I was looking at exclusively used cars, after all..) I saw this MKS on their website and it reminded me of my late Godmother who had passed earlier in that year. She drove exclusively Lincolns for as long as I can remember. Before leaving the dealership, I asked my salesman if I could check it out. Mostly for curiosity and sentimental reasons. I sat in the car and the smell of the leather immediately took me back to backseat rides in her Town Car in rural Mississippi. I put the car in drive, and started to leave the parking lot. I was immediately impressed with how easily the steering wheel turned. Almost as if it knew where it was going already. The accelerator pedal was much more sensitive than the other cars I had driven up to this point. Oddly enough, this felt faster than the some of the sports cars I had driven previously. It felt very heavy and the FWD is still a concern when cornering at higher speeds, but it handles competently enough to have fun. Just enough power to enjoy myself, but not enough for me to get myself in trouble. I got it out onto the highway and immediately was hooked on this car. The ride was quiet like a luxury car, but quick like a sports car. (an entry level sports car, of course.) The tech in this car hadn't even registered yet. It wasn't until I was done with my joy ride that I noticed the car had a huge sun roof, self parking, a THX sound system, heated, cooled, and massaging seats, and much more. I stayed parked in the dealership lot for a little while just walking around the car in circles. I was more impressed with this (no offense...) grandma car than I was with the V6 Camaro/Challenger! (That 5.7 Charger was QUICK though.) I went from test driving this car for sentiment's sake to trying to convince myself it wasn't the perfect car. It had the performance I was after and the bonus practicality of being a full size sedan. It was smooth, quiet, and sporty. Here I am, 2 years later, at around 79,000 miles. I take great care of it and still get compliments on how new it looks, even though its a 10y old car. The paint looks like it just came out of the factory. After 78,000 miles (30k+ of my own) the only maintenance I've had to do are ignition coils, spark plugs, and a catalytic convertor. I drive this car much more rough than the intended buyer, so it is very impressive that this vehicle has been as durable as it has. This engine feels bulletproof, but if I had to buy again, I would probably go with the 3.5L EcoBoost for the extra umph. It isn't a sports car, and it isn't as luxurious as some newer vehicles, but it almost balances out when you consider how affordable they are even with very low mileage.

This has been a surprisingly nice car, its what you would expect from Lincoln, it has a couple of issues, the Sync system is terrible, the radio turns up and down for no reason, Ford no longer support the Health Report so there is no way to know what if anything is wrong with the car.
