Base 3.7L MKS The Underappreciated Vehicle

2015 Lincoln MKS 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

I really wanted a Taurus SHO. I liked the spacious trunk and really wanted the performance. Ended up with a deal I couldn't refuse on a base 3.7L MKS. I thought I was settling to save money with this base MKS. I was wrong. Pictures don't do the vehicle justice. In person it looks like a Hawk from the front and a cross between a Jaguar and Maserati from the back at the right angle. The trunk is like having a full blown SUV for family trips. It's literally ridiculous how big it is. The complaints of a tight feeling front are overblown. It actually emulates a sporty cockpit feeling without having anything uncomfortable rubbing against you even if you tried. As far as handling it has a normal, sport, and comfort mode for suspension. You can set it to be full time any of the three in drive. It has paddle shifters to play in the mountains holding gears or assist with slowing down. A secret in performance I learned is the car really comes to life by dropping the shifter into Sport Mode and letting the transmission do the work. This move seems to make the engine torque curve more aggressive, suspension tighten up, shifts firmer, and it holds gears longer at medium, light, and WOT. I really like that this car can be driven like grandpas old Lazy boy feel Lincoln in comfort mode and get a little frisky I'm sports mode. The styling does a great job of reminding you of grandpas Lincoln you fell in love with and a newer version that is yours. The ability to travel the whole family and luggage in comfort in a sporty looking sedan is pretty cool. Best of all it stands out from all the yuppies who bought Beemers and Benzes dealing with all their maintenance bs and ticking time bomb after 100k mile costs. You can't go wrong with any model of this vehicle. The base gets better gas mileage and and still gets up and goes in a respectable manner. Also no premium gas which is huge savings. The Ecoboost I've never driven but can imagine how much more I'd love it. This car is a hidden gem. The flagship vehicle Lincoln between the Towncar and Return of the Continental. Get one while they are still in good condition, cheap, and unappreciated.

The trunk is terrible you knock your head whatever you tried to get access to the back of the trunk. The lid needs to be larger. Great space poor getting out at it Leasing anMK r tomorrow.

Spacious Luxury sedan

I JUST purchased a 2015 MKS fwd, and I am pleasantly surprised. I wanted something full-midsize sedan but with quiet interior, but at least a 3.7 V6 because I am switching from an 07' G6 GTP, 3.6 V6. I wanted style, speed and quiet comfort. I couldn't ask for more!! Although my MKS has 60k miles, the only downfall is learning all the spaceship-like dash, that a exhaust looks a little rusted underneath. Other than that, GREAT CAR!!!
