Most comfortable SUV out there!

2022 Lincoln Nautilus Reserve 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

Due to my wife's nerve pain I was seeking the most comfortable mid-size SUV I could find. Drove the top five and settled on the Nautilus as best meeting her needs. I'll be honest, I never thought I'd be driving a Lincoln. The car is loading, over two years remaining warranty and seemed to be fairly priced. Other than not wanting a red or black color we had one must have - dark interior (large dog). Today she even suggested taking a drive out to the coast. Doesn't sound like much but this is the first time in years she even wanted to get in a car. Bottom line - this is a beautiful, very quiet and smooth riding vehicle. It meets our needs in most every way, even the dog is happy.

Garbage - avoid at all cost

We bought on car on 7/8/23 and today is 7/12/23 and the car has been in the shop twice - in fact it is still there and we have no idea when we will get it back. Three times the steering has quit working, no not 'firmer' steering as the disinterested Service Manager said, put you cannot turn the wheel with both hands So we are praying for a 3rd failure so we can get out of this piece of garbage and get on to another car line.

A Lincoln Disappointment

Ella, 11/16/2023
2023 Lincoln Nautilus Standard 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

The 2023 Nautilus has been a huge disappointment. 1. The road noise doesn’t allow you to enjoy your ride with windows down or partially down. 2. Position of the drivers side mirror creates a blind spot for the driver. I’m shocked this hasn’t been a concern since it is a safety issue. 3. Poor stereo sound. No matter how many times we’ve adjusted the fade, bass etc features we cannot get a rich surround sound in our Nautilus. 4. When compared to the three Ford Edges we’ve had we are shocked how Lincoln eliminated storage compartments in the Nautilus. 5. There are only two features the Nautilus has that the Edges did not, very comfortable seats and the navigation monitor. We assumed since we were moving up to a Lincoln the car would automatically be an improvement over the Edge. We were wrong. The Nautilus is not worth the price. The features in the Edge were superior to the Nautilus (except for the monitor and seat comfort) Our second car is an Audi A4 (10 years old) and it is better designed then our Nautilus.

Getting used to it

Getting used to touch screen controls. Many features same as MKX just in new location. Would really like hard copy owner's manual. Nice to read when not in the car. Once understood seldom looked at again. So far very satisfied ((7 miles on OD)

Disappointing!!

The technology does not live up to the hype. Apple car play is far from dependable. Typically Google maps does not load the full screen. At times, the sound system sometimes only works on one side of the vehicle. But, by far my largest disappointment is the quietness of the ride. The wind noise is ridiculous. With all the claims of “luxury”, this should be a basic requirement. It has been back at the dealer several times with no fix. I have been told that it is no different from other Lincolns. My prior vehicle that costed at least $25,000 less was much quieter!!
