Most comfortable car on the road

An outstanding luxury cruiser. Superb build-quality, excellent soft leather, the most comfortable seats available on any car and I tried them all. Buy the optional 30 way adjustable seats -they are amazing. I own the Reserve model with the twin turbo 2 .7 Liter engine. It is powerful, quiet, fast and fun. I am getting 26.4 mpg and could do better if I drove slower. The car is very quiet, smooth and handles well. I just took it on a long trip and at the end of each long day's drive I was not tired or stiff. The massaging feature of the seats is really nice. I have owned many Mercedes S class cars and other high end car's. The Continental is my favorite of them all. The SYNC navigation and electronics system is really nice and easy to use. I cannot think of anything I would change on my Continental. A great car.

Very roomy, nice ride, good looking

It turns many heads driving it. Sleek design and plenty of room to get in and out. Will buy another one this new year. Many neat options included with price.

Yes! Most reliable car I've ever owned!

Good looking, reliable sedan with plenty of luxury features to go around. A real dream car. I wanted to own this car as soon as it came out for 2017.

A Dream car that can deliver on levels like Gold

One of the best riding car I have ever own in my life of 25 cars of my lifetime great brakes and power that feels it has no limits talk about the options they are madly great. This my first car with massage seats and drive my wife just wild to go out with me now after 32 years of marriage wow!!!!!!!!!!!! We now also enjoy the lights on the inside of the car at night time. Driving quite smooth ride and sound system sound just good as my recording studio as to play USB makes it the new wave of music format in a car so now I don't carry CD's anymore just a USB stick drive in my pocket that can hold crime up of people breaking in it for my music which is very important to me in my line of business with new artist. The easy use of starting the car has taken me in another zone after 25 to 30 cars in my life. Easy use of no gas cap to fill it up. And one of the best ventilation system of any car with heated & air cool seats . And with AWD make sure you get there in the snow as well

very nice car

only thing I see so far to improve is [ easy entry system only moves 2 inches , I have had several cars with this system and they move all the way back and down , if a short person gets out ,it is hard for a tall person to enter ] thanks for reading and I would recommend the car to others

Finally, a Lincoln worthy of the name Continental.

The designers of the 2017 have truly rolled up their sleaves, researched what the name Continental really means, and came up with the finest luxury car this company has turned out in fifty years. This is the car that can proudly takes its place next to the venerable Continentals of 1961 - 1967 without having to rely on those cars' iconic styling cues. This is an all new car built on it's very own platform. For the money, it blows the CT6 by Cadillac out of the water. It's base price is almost $20,000 less and it offers fresh, innovative looks, powerful performance from three impressive engine selections, and the ability to option up to stand tall along the great luxury marques of Europe. I highly recommend the 30 way, perfect position seats with air cooling, heat and massage. The fit and finish of this car's interior is remeniscent of a Rolls Royce. It gets the driver a lot of attention and never fails to make the right impression.

Best interior of any car I have owned

thanks to a great dealer Gwinnett Ford and salesman Finn the put me in a car better than an Equis that I owned. The value for the money and pure styling and ride are amazing. Thank you Finn for working so hard on getting me this car.

smoothest riding and so quiet

I love everything about this car, it is fantastic It rides so smoothly and is so quiet you can hardly tell that it is running. Love all the features especially the adjustable seats. They are very comfortable.

Not worth the money

We owned a Town car, loved it best car we ever bought. So when the Continental became available we were one of the first to order one. After 8 months of ownership, I am still trying to figure out some of the devices. We were one of the first 1,500 buyers supposed to have gotten some special commemorative thing.. still waiting. We ordered the car with the special light package which included heads up digital readout on the windshield. When we got the car, it did not have it, again supposedly Lincoln decided not to have it (safety issue so we were told when we took delivery), no one told us beforehand, had we known we would have canceled the order. That special service you see on TV where you get a loaner, they pick up the car, well it's only where you bought it so if you are out town and need service, too bad! It is not distinctive, it looks like an oversized MKZ. I regret having bought it sight unseen. There are better cars out there for less money.
