She Buys...He Sells

2012 LINCOLN MKS

From The highly attractive waterfall grill to the tasteful flowing body line...this car screams "Class Act"

Performance & Handling

(HS):
This is an incredible example of what the Ford team is capable of...They have taken it to the next level with this luxoliner! With the twin turbo 6 (SHO Taurus engine) in there this thing was all about the rock N roll. Handle the road nicely, the suspension took the bite out of harsh roads and it was so quiet inside while doing so. I liked driving this car so much it was close to causing marital disputes...did I mention the massaging seats in the front. That's right, you can be out laying waste to a set of tires and get a back rub and butt massage in the process, something very few wives can compete with.

(SB):

This car was a pleasure to glide…. I mean drive. It handles like a dream and was uber comfortable. I thought it had lots of get up and go.

 This car sits higher up than I am used to and I think it will appeal to someone coming out of an SUV or who doesn’t want a small car feel.

Build Quality

(HS):
 Better than average is a bit of an understatement, they took the time to get this car very tight and functional too. Materials were fantastic, fit and finish were all taken care of, and the colour s used were very pleasing to the eye...not my eye.but most eyes.

(SB):

Very solid and great quality feel to this vehicle. It felt like it was built to last.

Misc

(HS):
If you are looking for luxury but not willing to part with the money it costs to get yourself into a Rolls Royce Ghost you are going to find this more than adequate. Did I happen to mention that it has seats that will rub you the right way all day everyday...borderline wife replacement. You definitely know you stepped up to the big boy party when you climb inside this subtle leather engulfed cockpit, the combination of wood and brushed aluminium completes this luxoliner.  The complete roof lets the sun shine in if you chose, or you can close it and hide yourself from the sun along with a rear window shade to keep the light off relaxing eyes. I loved every minute with this car and could not find any faults that would stop me from recommending it to someone.

(SB):

I wasn’t near as taken with the clutch and grab massage feature, although I can see how the lower back massage feature might come in handy on long trips if you have a back that is prone to getting sore.

I loved the distance pacing cruise control feature – I took it for an hour and a half open highway run and it worked like a charm. Was great not to have to be constantly stepping on the brake, then re-engaging the cruise control every time you came upon a car doing a different speed.

A couple of things I found odd was that there is no digital speedometer – it stayed old school and I couldn’t find a thermometer for external temperatures.

Also, like the MyFord Touch, I found that the MyLincoln Touch chose to put emphasis on unusual things. For example, the gas gauge is less prominent than the temperature gauge. I don’t know about you, but I check how much gas I have left much more than I check to see if my car is overheating!

Practicality

(HS):
This car is the epitome of what every high class business type person needs, it drives well received great gas mileage and if needed you can cram 4 sets of clubs in the trunk to head off to the coarse with your business partners to work a deal. All will be comfortable as they can enjoy a laid back chauffeured feel out back while the driver and passenger can set the seats to cool and did I mention ... the seats will make you feel like you have a new mistress.

(SB):

The trunk is HUGE in this car. You could easily pack a family of suitcases in there and still have room for a last minute hitchhiker.

The back seat has lots of legroom and a cushy pull down console that holds a couple drinks. The console so cushy, our son fell asleep using it as a pillow.

There are plenty of drink holders and a nice cubbyhole for charging cellphones.

Final Word

I know I could easily justify buying this car to anyone....Male, or Female...I just have to put them in the seat and hit the massage button! Other than my favourite feature I have mentioned a few times, this car does everything well and after hearing that Lincoln has been voted #1 in American customer satisfaction, how could I not hold this one high on my list of recommendations. You have a winner here Lincoln!
