Safest Car For Canadian Climate

Most reviews by experts don't like this car very much. I have to disagree, not just because I own one, but because I have driven and owned several of the cars that get better ratings. First of all, this car just gets better after about 8000 km. I have not had one issue and the learning curve on the sync system is now very small. The MKS is a fantastic family car, especially in the winter months. AWD with snow tires makes this the best vehicle (including SUVs I have owned) I have ever driven in the snow. I am extremely confident letting my less than experienced teenage son drive it to hockey practice without me sitting nervously in the passenger seat. Keep up the good work Lincoln!

Best of the best

I held writing this article until I had some miles on my MKS with all the goodies including the Eco Appr. Pkg. Just in for its 15000 mile service ( free) and after tranversing the 'Tail of the Dragon" in the smokies. I can state there could not possibly be a finer car made that also fits my wallet. Zero problems, 1/32 trend worn off tires, mileage 20-25, pending how I drove. What amazed me is how better she is performing after about 8000 miles. Ford has woke America up in finally making another great car. My previous garage had Cadillac CTs,Lexus GS 430, MB E 350 and Corvettes C5 & 6 and unfortunatly a 550i BMW. Alll wonderful cars ( except the Bimmer) But the MKS Eco., stands alone and surpasses in every category those cars ( except the C6 Vette on performance) Thank You Ford/Lincoln...

Very Satisfied

We bought a 2010 at the end of July. We've found it to be perfect for my wife's daily commute, a pleasure around town, and great for weekend trips out of town. It is amazingly quiet on the highway at speed. We find it very easy to push past 80 mph without even being aware of the speed. Zero problems so far in the first 3-4,000 miles. Really love the air conditioned seats!

All Advertised and More

I've been reading about the MKS for 3 years even before Lincoln/Ford started producing the auto. I purchased min in July 2010 and it is all that they said it would be and more. It's roomy in the front and rear for a 6'2 person such as me. There's plenty of truck space to pack my mine and my wifes golf clubs and 4 suitcases. I couldn't do that with my Lincoln LS. It has plenty of powwer to move you into the merging lanes of I40. The interior is modestly luxurious, but the plush heated and air conditioned seats make up for the modesty.

2010 lincoln MKS Ecoboost

I have owned a new S430, 525BMW, and even a 2002 Corvette and I can tell you this, not one of them is as luxurious nor performs as well as my new twin turbo Lincoln MKS. The features of this car are unmatched. The power is unreal and the handling is similiar to driving my 2002 Corvette Z06. The ride is absolutely amazing. No where could I find another car like this for this kind of money. Its no wonder Ford and Linoln are destroying the competition. I am so glad I considered Ford and Lincoln before going back to BMW again. The only problem I have now is getting my wife to let me drive my own car!

Love my MKS

I have had my MKS for abotu 2 weeks and i do love it! my boyhood dream was to someday own a lincoln - Im 52 and decided to do it in my 50's while i could still enjoy it - I have the MKS with the 104A package which includes EVERYTHING!! I am still amazed when i find out something new ! the ride is VERY smooth - mine is a FWD V6 and i am averaging mileage 18 in town to 26-27 on a trip - the interior is roomy and very comfortable although there are things I would change if i was designing the 2011 model - the driver door arm rest is to low for comfort - there is wasted space on the console which should be turned into a storage bin - It is difficult to see out the back while reversing but i have the back up camera which i love!! the gadgets on this car are amazing - the adaptive cruise control works great, the auto high beams are anoying at times as are the automatic wipers but i am getting used to them - the nav system and sirius radio are great. I have noticed many people look over my car ( which is candy red btw) as it is a very sharp looking car ! If you can get one you should - pamper yourself - the MKS is NOT your grandfathers lincoln anymore!!!

Outstanding

Being in the Executive Transportation business for more than 15 years; I have grown accustom to the Lincoln Town Car and Lincoln?s ability to manufacture an excellent vehicle that is able to service the most critical and demanding customers. I was the first in my state to take ownership of the 2009 Lincoln MKS. It was a good vehicle but my resent purchase of the 2010 MKS (AWD) provided once agene; that Lincoln and Ford are lessoning to their customers. My primary reason for purchasing the 2010 MKS was to take advantage of the updated ride/handling and to move to an AWD vehicle with additional amenities. Simply putting it; it is more superior vehicle than that of the 2009 MKS; with the upgraded ride, it feels and handles more like an expensive European Luxury vehicle. The interior is well equipped and not only looks good; but it feels the way it looks. The voice activated GPS and Media component provides a more concierge environment and the THX Sound System is nothing short of outstanding.

Great

I test drove the eco boost and the standard fully equipped MKs. The standard is just fine. The ecoboost not worth the extra $$ in my view. It is a great car. I traded my BMW 335i on it..and a BMW equipped like this would be a 7 series at twice the $$.
