There is no car on the road better than this one for the price. I decided to trade from my Caddy CTS and was ready to go back to previously owned models, and I've had them all. Infinity FX, Acura TL, Mercedes S and E series, Lexus LS, I could go on and on. If anyone had told me I'd end up with a Lincoln MKS I'd have laughed. I had decided on a fully loaded Lexus GS350 when I drove this car. My wife loved it, I was blown away by the technology and the combination of luxury and handling. What's the rap from the Editors? Good grief, there is no car on the road that compares at this price. Perfect combination of luxury and performance from a guy that loves both. Best car I've ever had.

I was apprehensive about getting this car; a terrific lease sealed the deal. 17 months later: GREAT CAR! The MKS is ultra comfortable, elegant and looks like a million. Sight lines require getting used to, after a while it's fine. Heated/cooled seats, sound system, SYNC, all add up to a fabulous experience. It was reinforced when I drove Chicago to Tampa at Christmas with 2 adults and 2 teens. Roomy, comfy, soooo quiet and happy to run 85+ all day long. My first experience with Lincoln, not my last.

I am a traveling salesman average 30,000 miles a years. My MKS AWD has 300,310 miles on it. I change oil about ever 3500 miles. The only thing I have had to do is put in a new oil pan, brakes, tires, and stocks. I change the plugs ever 100,000. I feel Lincoln made a big mistake down sizing this body stile. The Lincoln I had before this one was a Mark V11. I sold it with 423,000 miles on it. By the way my MKS still looks like new.

Sweet ride for long drives

Have had the car for about two years, and it has been a pleasure to drive. I drive long distances on the highway and no car would compared to MKS. AWD (and 19+ tires) gives you excellent traction on the road and in the snow. Comfortable seats, nice features, smooth handling, plenty of power. This car is not built for racing, correct. But it would not disappoint, and indeed makes you proud, when you punch it to pass foreign competitors up the hill. Not 100% pleased with the interior design. Major issue for us (coffee drinkers) is that you cannot fit two coffee cups in this car; it has got space for 1-and-a-half!

A REAL BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!

I recently purchased my 09 MKS AWD with 99,000 miles on the odometer. I was a bit hesitant, but with it being a one owner car, I took the chance. Boy did I make a great choice. The MKS really is an overall superb vehicle. I think I got lucky with mine, because for having over 100,000 miles, and being 9yrs old, it drives like a dream, and is a very snazzy ride. The MPG is not great, which for a boat of a car with AWD, this is to be expected. The handling is not amazing, but works for most. One thing to keep in mind is the shear size of this car; it's huge! Maneuvering into tight spaces can present a challenge, especially in cities. I'm very grateful for the front and rear parking sensors, as well as the back-up camera. The layout of the dash is simple to use, and in my opinion, is not stuffed with too many buttons. The sound system is exceptional, and the voice activated navigation is a life saver when you need it. Seats are plenty comfortable, and provide adequate support for long trips. This is a Lincoln, not a Cadillac, BMW, or a Infiniti. It's not designed for fast cornering, races down the road, or hardcore performance. It's a luxury "tank". It seems to appeal more to the "older" generation, and is designed to perform as such. The available AWD is a must for snow country, and makes all the difference with snowy or icy climates. Tires are not cheap, and are a bit tricky to come by. My only real complaint is that my sunroof does not work, which from what I've read, is a very common issue with these Lincoln vehicles. Other than that, I give it a two thumbs up, and a steal for just over $13,000.00.
