What Owners are Saying About the 2018 Lincoln Continental

"A wonderful long range cruiser. Totally satisfied."

"I purchased the Reserve model with the 2.7 twin turbo engine. I love the car and I love the engine with its 380 lbs. of torque. There is no turbo lag and the power is always ready when you need it. The engine is extremely quiet and pulls well at all speeds. With about half city and half highway driving, I am averaging 24.7 MPG. I think that is great for such a big powerful car. This Continental is the smoothest and quietest car I ever have owned and over the years, I have owned many S-class Mercedes and other high end cars. The Continental is by far the most comfortable of them. I continue to be very impressed with the fit and finish of the car. It has been flawless since I picked it up in January. Everything works just as expected. I love the Sync navigation and command system. It is very easy to use and I quickly was able to learn the functions. Lincoln gave me an hour with an factory trained expert on the cars systems and he went over how to use the many functions. That was well worth the time spent. I have taken the car on a long trip and am very pleased with how quiet and comfortable it is. The optional 30 way seats are by far the best seats on the market. After driving for awhile you can turn on the massage feature of the heated or cooled seats and they will make you feel refreshed and relaxed. At the end of the day you are not tired and worn out. These soft, genuine leather 30 way seats are a wonderful option and I highly recommend you spend the money to order them. I have driven every high end car on the market and nothing comes even close to the comfort of the Continentals seats. I also love the cruise control which allows you to set the distance to maintain behind the car in front of you. This is really nice on long trips and make the trip much less stressful. I continue to be very impressed with the service and quality of the Lincoln dealership. Lincoln will come to your location to pick up your car for service and leave you a loaner car to use while it is being serviced. When the service is complete, they will wash your car and return it to you at your location. The car has an excellent bumper to bumper warranty. It is an elegant car that gets a lot of compliments. If you are looking for a top quality car that is truly comfortable, offers great performance and handling, is fun to drive and is built with very high quality materials, you should drive a Continental. I also like that it is made in the USA by Americans."

"Update on my original review"

"This is an update on my original review. I have owned the car for seven months now and like it more each time I drive it. We have taken it on several long trips and it really is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. After a long days drive, you arrive not tired or sore. The seats are wonderful and I love the massage feature. Driving at interstate speeds, the car averaged 26.5 MPG. This truly is a great long range cruiser. Every system on the car continues to work as advertised. I love the SYNC entertainment/navigations system. It does a lot and is very easy to use. I can think of nothing else to say except this is a really nice, powerful, quiet and comfortable car. I get many nice compliments from people who stop to ask about the car."

"Ditch the foreign and try this car on for size"

"After owning a BMW 750 IL and getting left in the hinterland with a flat on run flat tires I decided to go back to S550 MB. Guess what?? Run flat tires. So we went and drove the Lincoln. Absolutely the best move we ever made. The electronics make BMW and MB look like Model T's and the interior is beyond description. We bought the Black Label and I hope it lasts the rest of my life. Don't pass up checking these automobiles out. They are thousands less than the competition and I think as good or better in quality, ride, quietness and handling."

2018 Lincoln Continental Depreciation

This is not a guarantee of actual depreciation. Local weather conditions, market factors and driver performance will also impact your vehicle's actual depreciation.
