#1
Not Worth The Money
Source: Edmunds

...Repeated problems with the seats; it's been in the shop for 2 weeks this month with 3 different trips.
The dealer fails to see the problems with the car just because the computer isn't showing codes.
I guess codes are better than people in determining problems.
Yeah right. If my car was on fire and it didn't spit out codes there must not be a problem, right.
I wish I could get my money back. I'm wondering if I can get the vehicle returned under the lemon law even if the dealer won't recognize the problems...

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ETC.
Source: Edmunds

...The 2009 Lincoln MKS was my first and only desired car that year.
Initially when I leased it everything appeared to be fine.
About 1 mo. after lease, door locks began to malfunction opening by themselves without depression of the button on the key fob,
next the rear doors began to collect water sounding as though a swimming pool was behind you.
The water slished and sloshed back and forth. This was really scary!
Next the Sync system has a problem. You can hear all phone conversations like a loud speaker outside of the car!!! Not a Mercedes/BMW!!...

Lincoln Mks

...you can expect only the best quality from a Lincoln. the Lincoln MKS is made to hold up to 400K on it odometer. plus you get loads of car for a small price the Hyundai Genesis, well Hyundai clears it out a bit Hyundai is not in anyway made for quality in fact the Hyundai Sonata was so poorly built people would bring them in on trucks instead of its own power this happened to thousands of people who have ever bought a Hyundai...

#4
Missing storage
Source: Edmunds

...Had this car for just a few weeks 09 leftover dealer driver car.
Love the look and style but there is virtually no storage inside for anything.
Small door pocket and mini center console that once you put in an iPod in to hook to USB it is full.
Cup holders are useless with armrests extended, and with tapered coffee cups you can have only one and the other holder overlaps. I still love it though, shifts a bit hard between gears...

The "S" is for Starship

...and provides for a nearly fatigueless experieince.I have average 21 mpg on the all wheel drive version, with city lows around 18 and highway highs approaching 25 mpg. Although the starship is not a gas sipper, it is more than efficient even with gas again approaching the $3.00/gallon mark.Reliability of this vehicle has been unsurpassed, and the dealer experience has been second to none.This car is worth every penny, listing at nearly $46,000, but was loaded with ammenities that once experienced, no one should do without....including sync, nav, tons of safety, great handling, quite ride, and...

great american car

...I have had the MKS for 4months and have thoroughly
enjoyed it-The handling and styling as well as the
high-tech features are impressive-I receive a compliment
on how it looks from people on a weekly basis asking me what kind of car it is-I am pleased that I purchased it over the foreign selections I drove...

#7
More luxury for your buck.
Source: Cars.com

..."I traded in my 2006 Lincoln Town Car and bought this car a month ago.
The reason I did this was to get better fuel mileage which I am getting since this new car (Mks) its a v6.
I bought the ultimate package which comes loaded with all the optional features.
I am very pleased with the fuel mileage, I've gotten 29mpg hwy. The Navigation system is very user friendly and a lot easier than on other cars I've owned."...

If You Do A Lot Of Highway Traveling You Will Really Enjoy Riding In This Car.
Source: CarGurus

...The new Lincoln MKS is a good value for a luxury car.
It beats the Cadddy CTX in features, room, and ride quality.
The V6 is adequate but the new Eco-Boost would be a better choice.
Mileage is around 19 in town and 24 highway. It is a very nice ridding car...
lots of room and features. I would not say there is a fun factor in driving it but I have a Corvette for lots of fun factoring. Did I mention the air conditioned front seats!...

#9
Just Keeps Getting Better
Source: Edmunds

...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...

#10
Jury still out on this one!
Source: Edmunds

...With 8000 miles this one so far has had brake problems and acceleration issues that the dealership cannot seem to fix properly.
Pretty scary when you need the power and it's not there for you and when you need to stop quickly and get a crunching noise!...

Why should I also consider these?

The Lexus GS was the bogie for Lincoln, and the 2009 Lincoln MKS certainly hits the mark in terms of quietness.

Lincoln claims to be even quieter than the Lexus in certain important frequency ranges.

The Lincoln MKS is also on the mark in terms of performance.

Like the Lexus GS and the Acura RL, the MKS is powered by a six-cylinder (in addition, Lexus offers a V-8 and a hybrid).

The car targets a more luxury- and technology-minded audience with its myriad of features.

The rear-wheel-drive Cadillac CTS and STS have a more sporting demeanor, and you could shop either against the MKS, depending on how much room you're looking for.

The Cadillac STS offers a V-8 for those who want more power.

 
2008 Acura RL
The 2008 Acura RL is a fine luxury sedan, but others offer V-8 power and more distinct styling.
 
2008 Cadillac CTS
The new CTS can keep up with Mercedes and BMW competitors without mimicking them, and boasts some of the top tech features in its class.
 
2008 Cadillac STS
The STS is middle-of-the-pack in many respects, but it stands out as Cadillac’s technology flagship.
