I purchased AWD V6 turbo with 21 in wheels. It is powerful and offers a smooth ride. I shopped for a long time and very happy with my decision

I purchased my CPO '21 Nautilus when it was already three years old with 45K miles. I traded in a 2015 Lexus RX450h, which was OK, but I missed all the special features of a Lincoln, having previously owned a '16 Lincoln MKX, which I absolutely loved! There's just something special about driving a beautiful Lincoln that makes me want to get in it, get comfortable and drive. Mine has the 2.0 4-cylinder, which has been fine, and consistently gets 25-28 mpg in mixed city/highway driving. According to Consumer Reports, Lincoln vehicles have a lower cost to maintain and repair than most other vehicles. That's been my experience too. Mine also has the optional 22-way power seats with massage function, that are the epitome of comfort and relaxation. Some of the little things I love about the car: the welcome lighting when you approach the car with the key in your pocket, absolutely beautiful! Also, there are cornering lights that activate when you turn the wheel in either direction that give you better visibility at night. There are other thoughtful touches. For example, if a call comes in while the fan is blowing on high, it automatically lowers the fan speed to provide a quieter environment during the call. That's clever. The Revel audio system is excellent, and the instrumentation is clear and pleasant to look at. The ride is comfortable, smooth and quiet. I really love driving and looking at my Nautilus, and highly recommend it!

Nothing but problems.

Nothing but a pretty car. Under 30k miles needed a new transmutation. Had to go back in for more transmission work after the “new” transmission was put in. The sunroof constantly makes a loud knocking noise. It has been in 4 times for this noise and still wasn’t remedied only to be made worse. They have replaced the shade, deflector (twice) and the front pano glass. Not only is it still knocking, but it’s now crooked and the entire thing rattles and has the worst wind noise. The stereo blacks out. The leather is soft but stretches quickly making it wrinkly so we resorted to everyone sitting on towels. The seat’s bolsters are too close together making it uncomfortable. We loved the beauty of this car but after everything we traded it and have walked away from Lincoln permanently. Oh and the trunk! I can’t count how many times the trunk hatch tried to kill me and my daughter when unloading groceries. It is foot sensitive so if your foot even barely goes under the car when you try to get things out, it closes on you without warning. My 12 year old wouldn’t help me get anything out of the trunk after the third time when o had to yank her out before it completely closed on her back. Lincoln’s are just a beautiful lot of lemons and this one is no exception.
