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.

Over 150,000 miles and no issues whatsoever

Only weird thing I've had to replace was the servo in the vents that changed the air from floor to defrost, at 115,000 miles. I'm over 150,000 now and it's had no major issues, that one minor issue, and no other real complaints for reliability. It's started no issues in -30f up to 105. One thing I would've liked is if the processor in the touch screen was much faster. It takes a good full 1-2 seconds for it to respond to anything you do. Just having a faster processor in that to make it instant response would make the car feel modern even today. But it felt aged brand new due to the terrible slowness from the start. Come on Ford. Power is perfect, don't need more, don't want less. Handling is incredible, especially if you put Michelin Pilot 4 (all season) tires on it. Braking is great, I did front pads last at 105,000, and at 146,000 I put new pads on the rear brakes. I've done one wheel bearing around every 50,000 miles now, it's never really certain how long a bearing will last but they're part of normal maintenance. Black seats are VERY hard to clean. With the perforations for the AC seats, any dust particles that are white will get caught in the little holes and are basically impossible to get out to make the seats look clean again.

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.

got the black on black with wood trim. very classy. 2020 update. Still loving it. Under 25,000 miles on it. Regular maintenance at Lincoln keeps everything working smoothly. Solid. Update: 5/2025 purchased extended warranty with Lincoln. Good investment to keep everything working electronically. Presently at 31,500 miles.
