Faults:

The only problem was the air blend lever shaft for the A/C-Heat broke. When that happens you do not get either heat or A/C. Apparently a design problem for all Lincolns. Dealer wanted $500 to fix. Said had to take the dash apart. The part was $45. I fixed it myself by using crazy glue on it through the command center opening. Has been reliable ever since.

General Comments:

One of the most outstanding cars I've owned. Extremely fast for a heavy weight car- 6.4 sec to 60mph. Qtr. mile @ 99.7 mph. Powerful mid range punch yet delivers 22-24mpg on the road at 70 mph. Handles extremely well on secondary roads especially with 34lbs of tire pressure. Has chain driven timing belt so never any need to change.

Though the interior has leather seats, etc., it could have had a more luxurious dash, headliner, and door panel design like the Infinity's.

Faults:

The heater coil went out at approximately 87,000 miles.

Heater coil went out at 91,000 miles. Apparently a bad part, as a hole was found in it.

General Comments:

This is a very comfortable car.

I love the system check, because it makes me feel safe knowing the overall condition of the car.

I love the power and speed when it is needed. My son was very impressed with its response.

For a two-door car, it is so easy to settle into the back seat and then easily exit by putting one foot onto the pavement/ground and then lifting the body up and out of the car.
