A Lincoln Disappointment

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.

The first year with 2021 nautilus was a rough one. Engine shaking, transmission locking and braking issues but weirdly, they self corrected after turning the engine off and leaving it for awhile. Since then only one issue fixed with a new battery. The car has numerous bells and whistles and I really enjoy driving it. The multi tone interior is impressive, comfortable and convenient. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone wanting to drive a luxury type SUV.

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!

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.
