2009 Lincoln MKS consumer reviews

I purchased this car brand new and have had it in to be looked at four times since my purchase 5 months ago. The week after I bought it the radio would not work unless i restarted the car several times when I got in and first cranked it. Also there is an extremely loud popping sound coming from the speakers when you first crank the car. 5 months later this is still occuring. Also, there are constant rattles in the dash in three different locations. Just this week there is now a new rattle in one of the sunroofs. The rattles are so annoying you have to turn the radio up loud to drown them out. When your radio doesnt work half the time, no luck drowning out those rattles. I have taken my car in several times and the technicians themselves have heard the rattles and the popping sounds from the radio and have seen where the radio will not work most mornings when you first crank car unless you cut car off and re start it several times. They are unaware of WHY these problems are occuring but according to the technician this is not the first complaint they have had from owners with these same concerns. Also, the cup holders in the front are entirely too small. It will not hold two cups at one time. The engineerer should have definately made those larger. The car is a smooth riding car and very comfortable but the rattles and popping and radio problems are a bit annoying and quite frustrating. When you pay this kind of price for a car you do not expect to be riding around in a "rental" while yours is constantly in the shop having people trying to "figure out" what the problems are. Overall, I am dissastified with my purchase and wish I had chosen another car at this point. I have had my car at the dealership at least once a month since my purchase and it is currently in there now. Still not knowing what is the cause of the radio and rattle issues.

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.

I saw and drove the new Lincoln MKS the for the first time yesterday. All I can say is "Wow!". The amount of technology features on this car will blow your mind. The ride was very smooth but firm. It handles very tight and is very responsive. I didn't expect this caliber of car that kind of price. This one is a must see for anyone considering a luxury line vehicle. Best part, it was born in the USA! God Bless!!!
