When I saw the Diamond Blue Metallic 2018 Continental Select, I had to give it a close look. It had the options I would have selected: twin panel moonroof, CD player, 20 inch aluminum wheel , and climate package. Since I live in a snow belt AWD with a 61,235 sticker. I was impressed with the power and torque of the 2.7 twin turbo motor that uses regular gas. It’s torque rating is only 20 ft/lbs shy of the optional 400 horse motor. So I took the plunge and am amazed at 30mpg at 65 mph and 24 mpg overall ( more hwy driving than city). No quality issues so far. People compliment my color choice! It’s a comfortable car wit limo like back seat. I didn’t get the optional stereo, and it’s not necessary. In short so far so good and a good value!

Tires don't last

I have owned a brand new 2017 Lincoln Continental Reserve and 2018 Lincoln Continental Reserve. They are good looking vehicles and fun to drive. However, you will only get 25K miles on the tires. My alignment is perfect but the inside of all tires are gone. I thought it was maybe bad tires to then have the exact same experience with the 2018. Then, after spending $2500 on new tires, I got only 25k more. I was told by service that the engine is too heavy. What, to heavy? If I knew this, I would have not bought the second one. I also keep having a low engine oil pressure warning. When I take it in for service, they say they fix it but I happens every 3 months. It is clearly electronic because all you do is turn the car off and back on and it is fine again. They can't figure it out and I have given up on it. It sucks to pull over on the interstate to turn it off. When the warning comes on, you totally lose power if you hit the gas. So, hard to understand how just turning the car off fixes it but I am done with the dealership telling me that I need to change my oil. It has happened 4 days after oil was changed. It has now happened about 10 times and took it in 3 times. The 2017 has the rear seat package. It is a nice package. Looks real sharp. You would think it would come with a DVD player for the money. Also, the 2017 battery fried at 28K miles because the alternator was hooked up backwards, they tell me. The 2018 battery fried at 45K miles. Luckily it was still under warranty. I have owned tons of vehicles. For the money, the Continental seems to have to many problems. My favorite car has been Jaguar XJL. I have had plenty of SUVs as well. The navigator has been the best with the 3rd row having a ton of leg room.

No large American sedan choices so I ordered a Continental in March of 2018. My husband picked all the bells and whistles he fell in love with from the tv commercials. We waited until the end of July for the delivery. Within the first few weeks, the ac went out. Dealer probably goosed the Freon but it lasted until the weather changed. Fourth month the trunk refused to respond, not to the fob, not to the dash button, not to the emergency pull in the trunk. After TWO WEEKS in the shop and supposedly a latch change and a complete reprogramming of the car, dealer admitted that the car was "too new and no one knows much about it"... but they did get the trunk to work. Month six, no more exterior sensor warning system or parking assist. Decided to drive it from Virginia to Florida anyway and guess what we found in Florida, NO AC - again. Dealer's response, we verified the ac is not getting cold but couldn't find a leak. We charged it and added dye. If it acts up again, get it back in and they should be able to find the leak. Dealer's response to no sensors - they worked fine for them, "it's going to have to be one of those things that needs to bring back when it is happening more often." It hadn't worked for almost two weeks the day it was taken in so I have no clue what "more often" might mean. I'm not thinking I'm going to keep this car long if this becomes a pattern.

I drove this from the selling dealer to my home, then directly to the repair shop! My "new" 2018 Continental Reserve was my worst new car experience out of 16 vehicles I have purchased! Very disappointed in its initial quality and multiple malfunctions which so far has the vehicle in the repair shop 3 weeks and counting to make it drivable. Switching from foreign to USA made vehicle seems to be a mistake!! My patriotic move to support USA made vehicles didn't pan out!! Very disappointed they did not replace the vehicle to make it right, rather was told I had to accept the extensively torn apart repaired vehicle!! Who knows what else I might find wrong with this "lemon!!!" Drove a Continental from the selling dealer to the repair shop!! Pretty sad for a "luxury" vehicle!!!. Malfunctions/failures include Audio system malfunction, Speaker failure, Fuel system software, Oil pan leak, damaged drivers panel, Welcome lighting intermittent failure, Collision alert intermittent, Adaptable suspension iffy (drove similar Reserve and found much smoother). I hope the other buyers have better luck, because Lincoln certainly did not live up to their name on this one!!!! My expectations were high going in, which I'm sure is the reason for the huge disappointment. No combined fuel rating can be given due lack of ownership and malfunctioning fuel system.
