2014 Lincoln MKS 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
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.

The car has no issues, its engine is used in taxicabs and police intercepters for a reason, with pull so hard you’d feel you could leave the eatth’s crust going off the line; that and its massive trunk are the three major selling points of this car. Other cars offer all the same features, some better implemented. The interior is very bland, handling (well this is a given) is very mushy, the transmission is never in the right gear always being several too low as well as very jerky, and engine sound is horrible; shifting up for yourself (which I have to do every time I drive the car) takes you away from the left hand dashboard screen where it keeps information such as fuel economy (using graphics that aren’t very good, and with awkwardly sized gauges especially for the tach). Visibility is very limited which forces a high seating position, small touches such as the missing wiper stock on the righthand side and the poor allignment of the woodpanels on the door and dash or the plastics on the center console drive me INSANE. I’m very attentive to details, for this reason the car doesn’t suit me by any means. It’s definitely designed for those who like SUV seating position, and enjoy having full power a half inch down on the throttle.

The car is great. Its a 2014. The sales team at the dealership I purchased my MKS at were great. Had problems scheduling vehicle for a miner cosmetic repair at another Lincoln dealership the car was not purchased at. I experienced poor customer service at Richmond Ford. I had to reschedule at a dealership across town.
