Of course, Lincoln doesn't make sedans anymore since Ford decided to stop making sedans which Lincoln wasn't happy about since they wanted to compete with other luxury sedans that are still being made
People didn’t buy fords or Lincoln’s for there sedans. They bought ford trucks and the Lincoln Navigator. Only other vehicles they had great numbers on was the explorer due to the fleet vehicles bought by the government and the mustang bought by idiotic teenagers
I have the 2013 3.5 litter ecoboost turbo awd. It's a great car, especially in snow, during the snow storm last week in Ottawa, all the cars without awd in my neighbourhood cuz stuck mine and only other awd cars were able to get out before the snow pushers came. I just have clunking coming from the suspension that I need to fix soon
Always loved that model MKS with that color and the winged grille most people seemed to abhor … any time I see one I immediately turn my head to stare … definitely gave it character IMO.
Even some non-luxury cars such as the Toyota Corolla/Camry had back up cameras in early 2014. However, it wasn't included on the base model until the law went into effect in 2018
Always have been curious about these Lincoln sedans. Always hear that "they've got too much Ford on the inside", but the 365hp option (and final redesign and 400hp option on the mkz) never seemed to get any love.
I would consider a 2017 onwards MKZ Reserve or Black Label, if I didn't want to get a 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX/ 2019-2022 Nautilus Reserve or Black Label, as well as the 2020 onwards Corsair
That color. Ginger ale metallic was also used on some Fords. I have a 2013 Fusion in the same color, with a manual. I wouldn't be surprised if it is 1 of 1 in that combination. This color wasn't very common at all.
Wow the manuals are pretty rare and that color is even more rare, I have a 2014 fusion in sunset metallic with the 1.5T Auto wish I had the manual though
The Ginger Ale Metallic is just one of the colors that you don't see on a day to day basis and it just stands out from all the other colors that can be seen every day like black, white, silver, etc. I have a 2012 Taurus Limited in the same color.
My family has a Taurus SHO and we had The MKS EcoBoost for a few years basically the same car. Just like the Taurus it's pretty quick on the highway considering it's 5,000 lb it's a little bit more luxurious but it's no Mercedes
We have one. 100k miles and 10 years no trouble. NON of our German or. English expensiveve luxury cars did that! The tech features of the MKS took awhile to learn, and instructions long & complicated....why, it was only last week that I discovered that the car will read me my texts!
The interior looks good for a car with over 100,000 miles. Yeah lack of knobs and buttons to control volume and AC is stupid, probably mimicking Caddy.
Honestly, if you can keep this car past 200K-250K miles, that’ll be awesome The color is somewhat cool (in the sense that nobody has it) at least you’ll never confuse it with someone else’s car 😂 Looks spacious ✅ Looks stylish ✅ Looks reliable ✅
The climate and volume buttons design is stupid. Doesn't look easy to press. The problem with heat/AC in the screen is that if the screen breaks, you have no way to control it
This car also has voice commands, touch panel and steering wheel option for changing climate controls. So there are redundant options in case something malfunctions.
the only thing that kept me away from this Vehicle was the lack of physical buttons for the entertainment system. AC / climate control... I fear how much I would pay for them to be fixed when they began not to function anymore. surprisingly there was negative feedback. from the consumer toward this type of touch controls nonsense. I don't understand how they can repeat others' mistakes. ( Honda - Cadillac ) instead of eliminating the designers who implemented this mess. they discontinued Sedan's production altogether. that shows a lack of management intelligent. at the Ford factory. just like when they decided to build an internal engine water pump like an idiot. that water pump repair costs a lot of money to fix. if you are lucky enough your engine is not damaged when it fails. sorry, long comment from a frustrated person. but thank you very much for the review
A good car, but since this review is of a base model it doesn't give the best representation of the car. The nicest cars had V8 matching twin Turbos, wood panels on the doors, the same "Multicontour" designed massaging seat that Mercedes used, and full driver aids with automatic parking, before the orignal Tesla S
Lincoln has really stepped up the game the past few years. Shame they killed this (Continental) and the MKZ (Zephyr?) If Ford is focusing on trucks, crossovers, and SUVs I would expect some new models to join the Lincoln lineup. They need something. Luxury Mustang or Bronco? Lol
That's a weird color. I don't think I've ever seen avocado on a Lincoln. Maybe it's a 70s callback. Ford in the mid 10s was phoning it in and didn't really try on anything that wasn't the F-Series. Ford has been using that rear sunshade button with different uses/symbols since the early 00s. It's like Toyota using the same cruise control stick for 20 years.
This car would have sold better if it was equipped with a V8 and rear wheel drive as most luxury cars are. Not that it would have made it a better car, but it would have catered more to the luxury car customer.
Tactile hard buttons are much safer and easier to use IMOP, and running stuff through the infotainment screen is horrible. Your attention should be focused on driving; not playing video games. I don't even like the multigauge function - put some real dials on the dash. Not a specific knock on this car, but many 'modern' cars. I'd probably pass on this just for the interior design, though I'd still like to test sound the TKX. Oh, I also think Ford was stupid for killing sedans. Fortunately, other makes have not gone that route.
It’s not that I can get this car but the trunk lid will be changing cause I don’t like that type of trunk cover I always fuck with the one that spells LINCOLN across
I've been looking at vedios on this car doing research for my first car is it reliable and good gor a new driver ??? Which year model is good to own ofr a new driver
i have a 2010 MKS! there are more physical buttons and the center climate and radio controls area is MUCH better designed than this! i really dont like this era of fords with the weird kind of fake buttons.
Taste and preference are subjective so I can respect you not liking the car, I on the other hand, an owner of a 2013 MKS Base in Ginger Ale Green love the car, and find its design to be much more appealing than the zagging ass of the MKZ since the MKS rear is higher.
This is uglier than the MKZ you reviewed the other day...the green paint doesn't help it either. Lincoln ruined a lot of their cars designs when they introduced the butterfly grille. The MKT, the MKZ, the Navigator, and the worst offender, the MKS. Thankfully, they redeemed themselves when they released the Continental in 2017, and the redesigned Navigator in 2018.
Of course, Lincoln doesn't make sedans anymore since Ford decided to stop making sedans which Lincoln wasn't happy about since they wanted to compete with other luxury sedans that are still being made
Which is really coming back to bite Ford now. They've raised prices on trucks so much that they aren't moving any significant inventory.

Are you high? Ford still makes sedans
@@BrianGomez8888not in the US numb nuts
@@BrianGomez8888 In North America, Ford hasn't made any sedans since 2020.
Actively pursuing an Ecoboost. As dressed up as the base is, the Ecoboost is really something special
Is it bad that I ended up really liking this car? It woke up something in me I didn't know I had. I love it xD
Your secret is safe with us, I own an '11 MKZ hybrid, and it's tough to for me to drive my wife's Corolla when I need to

Didnt Lincoln use that type of green on their 70s cars too?
I agree, these are definitely appliance cars. They do everything well but not really worth writing home about. It's a Toyota of luxury cars.
so a Lexus? not really an insult there bud.

Does the heating for the seat work?
I have a very modern mustang seat are fuck dont work anymore

@@WildWildWeasel a lot of crossovers look way better than this, even from Lincoln.
mks came before the taurus
RIGHT! People should get the facts straight before posting vids and comments. MKS was released FIRST!!!
Huh? The Taurus has been around since the 80s while the MKS came out in 2008, however the MKS got the ecoboost before the Taurus did
you must have found the most hideous looking colour lol
