This is my big red baby

Almost @ 2 years and 50k miles of ownership. Bought my MKS used and haven't had any major issues. The infotainment is slow but who cares. The controller for the hvac and radio volume went out. Part was discontinued but got a used one and haven't had a problem since. The car is inexpensive to maintain rides wonderful and outside of regular maintenance costs less then a corolla to maintain. That 100. Ford did this right. A guy on here said he had one and bought a Cadillac and forgot why he liked the MKS. These and short term owners that don't hold on to cars long. Mine tho I look at it drive it and love it. My car is happy. My wallet is happy and seeing these for sale all over with 300k miles plus and still going gives me hope that Lincoln is still Lincoln. Former owner of 2 Town cars and a continental for the 90s and early 2000s. Just can't be Lincoln reliability. GO FORD... Next investment is a continental for the late 20teens. Or 2020.

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.

Nice Car

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.
