  • Lincoln is back!! - 2017 Lincoln Continental
    By -

    The Continental is by far the best car I could have purchased for the money. Silky smooth/quite ride, excellent performance and top notch materials. And as always the treatment and service you receive from your Lincoln Mercury well Lincoln dealer is always superior to anyone else. I highly recommend the Continental to anyone who is looking for a comfortable and luxurious sedan. Also 400 horsepower is a great thing to have on reserve as well. So glad Lincoln brought back the Continental.

  • Great Car - 2017 Lincoln Continental
    By -

    I just got the car from my dealer. First of all the Dealer experience was above the expected service. They delivered the car to me in a pristine conditions. Fit and Finish is great, the seats are out of this world, I had a Mercedes E350 and the comfort and ambience this Continental has is way above the Mercedes. The power of the engine and the way it is delivered to the 4 wheels. Its feel in a category above. The only thing I would criticize is the fuel economy, if you get to happy with the engine revs then the fuel economy goes down...sad because the engine is a silky machinery that calls to be pressed.

    I purchase this car because everything I had read about it intrigue me. I was impressed with the interior design as well as the exterior design. Now that I own it I have a few hundred miles on it all I can say is I made the right purchase. It right is fantastic.. its the nicest car Ive ever been in.

  • LUXURY AT ITS Best! - 2017 Lincoln Continental

    The extra cost is worth every dollar. We tend to keep a car a long time, and the quality of this Lincoln Continental tells me it will last like our Towncar did.

  • Amazing beautiful car! - 2017 Lincoln Continental
    By -

    Currently have less than 1,000 miles on the car and couldnt be happier with it. Initially got lousy gas mileage the first week but the dealer assured me it would get better and was stunned to get 32.6 mpg driving down I95. Usually runs about 20 to 24 mpg around town which I am pleased with. The car is extremely comfortable riding and people fight over who will sit in the front seat to get massaged. Still trying to figure out all the gadgets and functions. Love that people stop and walk around the car and always comment on it. I have the white gold color and it is stunning. Did 6 months of research on about 10 different cars, luxury, sporty, muscle cars, etc. and am very pleased with our choice.

  • Small, hard, fatiguing seats - 2017 Lincoln Continental
    By -

    Lincoln Continental Town Cars and Mercury Marquiss of the past offered large, soft, deeply foam padded from seats. But this new 2017 Continental has small, hard, economy car like front seats. So this is not a comfortable long trip car like the Town Car was. The push button gear shift is dangerous because the buttons are not clearly marked or color coded - I ended up pushing Park when I reached for reverse and vice versa and once I even pushed Park when I intended to select Drive. The ultra-wide 19" wheels with 45 series tires detract from ride comfort as compared to the previous Lincoln Town Car. Road and tire noise is well suppressed, but exhaust noise is prominent. At idle, engine vibration is transfered to the steering wheel - yet another economy car like characteristic of this car. Directional stability at highway speeds is only fairly good so the driver needs to maintain attention to keep the car in his lane - yes still another economy car like feature. After renting this car for two days, I had no desire to own one.

  • Simply Awesome!!! - 2017 Lincoln Continental

    What a car! Was leaning towards a BMW 7 series and drove the Lincoln hands down a way better car for way less money.

  • Surpising Improvement - 2017 Lincoln Continental
    By -

    My fourth Lincoln in the past 10 years and first impressions are very positive albeit limited miles on the car so far. Of the two MKXs and the MKZ hybrid I owned prior to this car, the new Continental is a winner. The fit and finish inside and out are of the level of a higher priced vehicle. I also own a 2015 SL 550 which I used as a benchmark. Ive got the 2.7L which I find to be quick and smooth for its size and a little noisy on takeoff. The updated Sync 3 system is solid compared to the previous ones Ive owned. All still much better than what Ive got in my MB. Ive got the perfect position seats and theyre pretty perfect. These seats make this car and a must if youre considering buying one. I got the standard radio which is disappointing for the overall price of the car. Ill switch out the speakers with better aftermarket as a workaround. I would have bought the Revel radio if they had one. After I log a few thousand more miles, Ill update this review.

  • Broken Wings - 2017 Lincoln Continental
    By -

    While the company raves about the position seating, intense instruction on the "key fobs" and how to position the seat without damaging the "wings" of the driver seat should be given. Beginning on the first day of ownership figuring out all the "new features" seat positioning has been difficult. The information that the seat will only reposition back 2" when the car was turned off, was never mentioned; making it difficult enough to enter the seat the next time causing the wing to pull away from the plastic base to which it was secured. Car has been in service department twice in 6 months and with the car being so new, there are no replacement parts.

  • Beyond Expectations - 2017 Lincoln Continental
    By -

    I ordered the Continental in July. I was starting to get inpatient and wondering if it was going to be really worth the wait. Well, let me tell you that from the second I seen the Continental Pull up from getting out of detail, right away I knew it was worth the wait. This car is just BEAUTIFUL plain and simple. The pictures do it no justice, they do not capture the elegant curves that this Lincoln has. While I was waiting for it to be built, I was considering Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Cadillac. I am SO happy I waited it out and stuck with Lincoln. There is just something special when you stand back and look it at. It has many throw backs to the classic Lincolns while also including all of todays modern technology. The ride is so quiet and smooth. The massaging seats are AMAZING! I never wanna get out of the car! The door handles are awesome, just pull and the door opens effortlessly. All I can say is go to a showroom and go see it and drive one. Like stated above, all the elegant and classy curves are not captured on the photos that I have seen so far. Im SO impressed. By the way, Im 35yr old guy and Im proud to drive this AMERICAN CLASSIC! I have the Black Label, Diamond Black exterior, Thoroughbred interior (gorgeous combo), 3.0 AWD. I would recommend at least getting the Reserve if able, the Black Label is just incredible.
