  Loses some of its Lincoln charm - 2009 Lincoln MKS
  By ponchoman49 - August 21 - 10:03 am

  Just bought the new Lincoln MKS. The letter names car manufacturers are all going over to are getting confusing. Even the saleman had to think a second when I asked to see the MKS. That aside, this car provides reasonable performance, ride comfort and room. The electronic features are worthy such as SYNC which lets you store a load of songs on board and talk hands free on the phone. The front seats are comfy and rear legroom is abundant. The dash is well laid out and looks attractive. The exterior leaves me a bit cold however with its plain slab sides and indistinct rear end treatment. The sides in particular are too plain and would benefit from a door molding to break up the tall doors.

  Whatta Deal - 2009 Lincoln MKS
  By Floridian - July 25 - 5:20 pm

  An unbelievable fun car to drive. Bought a 2009 "leftover" with a great rebate from the manufacturer. Looked around at a lot of mfgs and models and the MKS stood out. No regrets in purchasing this vehicle or the value for the money. Thanks to edmunds.com, was able to negotiate a good deal, actually got a better price for this new vehicle (only had 110 miles) than Edmunds had listed for a Certified Pre- Owned.

  Cant score everything just yet... - 2009 Lincoln MKS
  By brookse1 - June 6 - 4:26 am

  Wonderful car. Like driving your living room, with more toys. Lots of room, decent power, good looks. Brakes grab. Corners are wobbly but, *what did you expect*? Better tires would help. Uploading CDs and pics is finicky - hello Microsoft! Overall, as long as the reliability holds up, I love it.

  A beautiful piece of junk - 2009 Lincoln MKS
  By flaflamingo - June 3 - 4:24 am

  This was the most beautiful car I have ever owed. However, after being in the shop just first year over 10 times, the problems just got worse. The first week I owned it, put the moon roof and it peeled the headliner back from the roof. Then the drivers seat broke, 3 of the 4 locking mechanisms were replaced (this continued after replacing), AC would not be consistently cold, lumbar blew out in passenger side (also in drivers side 50 miles out of warranty), garage door opener never worked, door numbers worked hit and miss, swipe of numbers wouldnt work. This went on up until the time I traded it. They would not declare a lemon; Lincoln refused to work with me

  Love it! - 2009 Lincoln MKS
  By Rob - May 5 - 9:56 am

  After 40 years of driving nothing but Caddys I got an MKS because Caddy was no longer leasing. Love the ride, handling, sound system. Sync is SO easy to use. Gas mileage could be better. Biggest complaint is front seat bottoms could be at least 1 1/2 inches or longer. Not enough thigh support. Controls easy to read & reach. Love the steering wheel controls including being able to make phone calls. Outside mirrors a good size too. Like rear view camera, audible warnings on front & rear bumpers. Wish vanity mirrors had lights on each side instead of the top.

  Cross Country trip - 2009 Lincoln MKS
  By popeye1250 - January 30 - 5:10 pm

  Just got back from Reno, NV to Myrtle Beach S.C. and the odometer has 7,200 miles. You can do 90 mph in this car very comfortably. (in Wyoming) I averaged 26.6 mpg for the trip doing 80-85 most of the time. I got 28 mpg doing 70 for a good stretch so milage does improve with more on the odometer. Very comfortable car to ride in cross country! Engine and transmission performed flawlessly in the Rocky mountains. More than enough power. There were 3 of us and we had plenty of room for luggage. Gas mileage has inproved dramatically from when I had 1,000 miles on it! I ran it with "regular" gas. Changed the break in oil at around 1,800 miles.

  Quality and Value - 2009 Lincoln MKS
  By MrMason - November 19 - 1:50 pm

  Feels like a much more expensive luxury car, gets a great reaction from people who look it over. A joy to drive with all the bells and whistles. Looked at BMW and Audi but didnt see enough of a quality and performance difference to justify the large price difference. Great value! Even a crooked Southern senator would love it

  Lincoln MKS - 2009 Lincoln MKS
  By Linda McLellan - October 30 - 7:53 am

  I have been extremely impressed with Lincoln MKS. It has excellant styling, comfort and performance. The technology that is available is awesome. I could not be happier with this selection after looking at the Lexus ES and the Infiniti M35, I am convinced that I made a wise choice.

  Sweet ride for long drives - 2009 Lincoln MKS
  By irish35 - July 22 - 10:32 pm

  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!

  Not Worth The Money - 2009 Lincoln MKS
  By Joe - April 24 - 11:36 pm

  Repeated problems with the seats; its 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 isnt showing codes. I guess codes are better than people in determining problems. Yeah right. If my car was on fire and it didnt spit out codes there must not be a problem, right. I wish I could get my money back. Im wondering if I can get the vehicle returned under the lemon law even if the dealer wont recognize the problems.
