General Comments:
It is like driving your living room. Soft, quite, smooth. The V8 seems perfectly adequate. It is not fast enough to impress me, but does a good enough job not to disappoint me either. We average 20-21 mpg, which should shame many smaller vehicles that the same or not do much better.
We have carried 6 adults in the car with no trouble. The trunk is massive. We get better gas mileage than my Mom gets in her Chevy Blazer and we have much more room.
The vehicle has been easy to work on, reminds me of cars from the 70s. V8 in the front, axle in the back, lots of room under the hood. I have done almost all the service work myself.
My only complaint is with the handling. Not only does it ride like your driving your living room, it handles like it as well. Don't dare swerve to avoid anything if going over 40mph.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The car sets itself on fire and you want another one?! I just don't understand all these positive reviews for this car, yet the reviewers go on and on about replacing this and that, this doesn't work anymore, this fell off, etc. And now, one that set itself on fire? This takes the cake!
I loved Lincolns from the 80's, but these newer ones sound absolutely horrible, and the fact that owners don't seem to mind spending all this money on repairs to fix things on them that don't go bad on other cars, and still give positive reviews is really disconcerting to say the least.
