Great Car

Car is very quiet. Nice power from 2.0 L engine. Safety features, lane keeping and brake warning work well. Took a while to get car to synch to home wifi for updates. SYNC works well with both android and apple products. Seats are very comfortable, but some people have to play with settings for a while to get it right for them.

Underrated Crossover

I cross shopped the Lincoln Nautilus with Audi, BMW, and Land Rover. Ultimately, the Lincoln had more standard features, more power (especially in the 2.7 twin turbo I opted for), and came in at a better price. And frankly, I don't see as many of them on the road as the German counterparts - I'd rather not be a lemming. Perhaps the only things I wish came standard, especially at the higher tier, are adaptive cruise and a front camera. Not deal breakers, but I wasn't willing to pay for $1500 for the package to get them.

Warning re Phone Charging

I have a Lincoln Nautilus and it has some problems. 1 DANGER WARNING The wireless charging system has no cut off. I purchased a new LG L6 phone specifically because it offers wireless charging. After about a 2 hour drive the alarm on the phone went off indicating a high temperature. And wow was it ever hot. If we did not have the door to the pocket open we would never have noticed and perhaps the LiOn battery would have exploded. The pocket is unusable if the phone is on the charger. The glass is facing up and nothing should be put on it. This was not thought out too well by the designers. 2 It rides like a pick up truck. This is my 3rd Lincoln. First two were MKX. The dealer has balanced the tires twice and rotated them. No help. The tires are 245/40R20 Continental made in Portugal. The web site lists them as a type of sport tire. Why are they on a large luxury car? I have over 4,000 miles on it now. There are 3 ride settings but they make no difference. 3 The windshield has been sloped down and back. This makes it difficult for a large person to enter the front seats. My passenger is 6 foot 2 and if the seat is forward at all he cannot get in the car. He must put the seat back and down to get in. I have hit myself on the door while getting out. Hard on my nose LOL This is a design flaw but we can live with it. Beyond that I love all the buttons, displays, options, radio, etc. I was skeptical about the 4 cylinder engine but with the 8 speed transmission and turbo it is great. Hard to tell what gear you are it due to the smooth shifting. I would like to hear if you plan another review after other people have driven it for a while.

This beautiful car would be great if the voice commands would work like it is supposed to. Very frustrating! Also. too much unnecessary stuff on the screen....too cluttered. MOST IMPORTANTLY, VOICE ACTIVATION BARELY WORKS!!! Like I said...do you really want to know?

Transmission is a deal breaker

I seldom post reviews but feel compelled. If you are considering this car, pay attention to the comments here and elsewhere about the transmission on the 2.0L turbo. I have owned an Acura, Lexus and 2 BMWs and this engine is an engineering failure. It is fine at highway speed but most people use their cars for commuting or driving in their community. At lower speeds it is like riding on a bucking horse, particularly when downshifting. It will rock back and forth at idle. I have tried all combinations of driving mode and fuel grade and there is no difference. The car does have some luxury but also head scratchers like cheap plastic and lack of standard features. It is built on the Ford Edge platform, would suggest the Edge is a superior vehicle for much less. Or you could get the 6 cyl for another $10K.
