The perfect upgrade from performance to luxury

Years ago I thought Lincolns were for the aging crony crowd but now as a well oiled senior citizen, I've changed my mind. I love cars. I love trucks. Through the years I've owned them all from stylish and fast Corvettes, to high performance Mustangs, to competitive upscale BMWs, and practical yet sophisticated 1/2 and 3/4 ton pickups. As I was waiting for my F150 to complete routine servicing I took a walk through the Ford/Lincoln dealer lot and spied a good looking 2020 Nautilus which I wound up taking for a test spin. That's all it took. As a 30-year military veteran, my body, especially my back, has succumbed to eight surgeries leaving me with chronic pain which I learned to live with. My Nautilus taught me that I could incorporate comfort, stylishness and spunky performance into my expectations of what an exacting senior citizen wants from his trusty steed. I was surprised to find the right combination of these characteristics in my Nautilus and have now accepted 'Mickey' as my ideal driving machine. I like it. I like it a lot. The perfect fashionable, yet peppy machine capable of providing comfort and luxury on those relaxing road trips to stylishly pulling a vintage Mustang to the weekend car shows. Wish I had transitioned a few years ago.

Executive feeling without the Executive Price

I travel over 100 miles per day to and from work for the last 23 years and this by far is the most comfortable car I have had the pleasure to own. Cooling seats for those hot Texas days and heated steering wheel when you have that once ayear northern blast that just chills you to the bone. Remote start says I have arrived when walking out to your car with your coworkers and the automatic liftgate lets Mom know she is valued. More cargo room than a Lexus and easier on the wallet. You can not go wrong keeping it classy.

Build Quality is Substandard

Love the ride / low noise levels / comfort features / style / color scheme. The build quality is poor as far as fit. Excessive gaps on doors and trunk and uneven alignment. Paint in general is OK but some sags and blotchiness in visible areas. Chrome burns chrome misses and dirt particles beyond acceptable limits. The cloth-wrapped A-pillars are not supported properly in the middle (design flaw) and after 2 years of sun exposure they have deformed beyond the blackout area. I will be very critical on fit form and function when I buy my next Lincoln as I do enjoy the comforts. BTW this vehicle was built in Canada St Thomas assembly plant.

Be ready for heavy negotiations. Lincoln not offering much but if you are a front line worker or a vet you will get additio nal discounts.
