I bought a continental reserve late last year, and I couldn't be happier with it.
I currently own a 2010 Lexus is 250. Not one complaint at all. But, i'm thinking on buying a 2017 continental. But my fear is that it won't last?
Pedro Saucedo well you’re lexus would out last it. but how much do you drive a year?
@@pedrosaucedo9200 the Lincoln company went up to 15 on CR reports for reliability they are right under audi now which is close to Nissan and Honda. So i doubt you have anything to really be afraid about. Ford has been building those EcoBoost engines for years I know f150s reaching 350,000kms so the 3.0 V6 turbo should be ok

I’m glad there are still manufacturers who are building big luxury cars like this, I don’t think they all need to be sport luxury cars. In my opinion a luxury sedan is cooler then a luxury SUV.
Absolutely it is!
Can't agree more but the way its going sedans are dying with estates / staition wagons because everyone wants an suv or a cross over
@@danielallen839Sucks because I love wagons
When I was a kid in Chicago, you could tell a lot about someone by the car they drove. In the Fifties luxury cars were as follows, Episcopalians drove Packards, Presbyterians Drove Imperials, Catholics drove Lincolns and we had several, and everybody else drove Cadillacs. I worked for a Lincoln Mercury Dealership and certain cars sold to certain people. The Mustang sold to men, the Cougar to women.
Damn I guess I'm a woman. I've always wanted an XR7
Not anymore. Cant tell nothing
How about the blacks?
Daytona Says What?! After they moved from the back of the bus they started driving nissans. Or atleast that seems to be what many black people around Virginia drive
Hmmmn......in school they told me we were all exactly alike. I’ve been deceived by the system I trus.....No wait! I never trusted any teacher ,I knew they were lying
I finally bought a Black Label 2020 yesterday and I absolutely love it. It is pretty quick, it is incredibly comfortable, and it has a ton of space. Lincoln canceling this is an awful idea. What they needed to do it get it onto more of the Ford lots and have a 45k version of it. It would have sold gang-busters.
You bought one cool! How has it held up? Reliability, oil change cost, MPG?
And it’s pretty fast huh
@@landonc5355 we own a Lincoln continental reserve “1 trim under the black label” it’s very comfortable quiet cabin, mpg is great. It’s very luxurious and we love it!
They gotta make cheap junk
For someone who’s picky and tends to stay away from most American cars. Lincoln is far and away becoming arguably my favorite auto manufacturer with this new generation of vehicles. The black label interiors are beyond all the German and Japanese luxury automakers and are on about the level of range rovers but are more eye catching. Absolutely love them
Congrats...that's my dream car but the Black Labels are hard to find.
Idea: you should add another stat to the dougscore - dougs per dollar (overall dougscore divided by price). That would be a great metric for putting the cars in context. The Lincoln isn't going to get the same score as a Rolls, but probably beats it on a per dollar standpoint. It would be interesting to see what would be at the top and bottom of such a list.
Second this
Damn, good idea
but the "value" score is dependent on price. in statistic, you cannot have a score dependent on x then categorized by x
This is exactly why the Doug score sucks a fat one. It would completely upend his rankings.
Ford fiesta st
You forgot to mention that with the Black Label, you get their complimentary care service for 4 years. Basically, whereas every other car you have to bring the car into the dealership for service, Lincoln Black Label service will get staff to pick up your car from your home, and drop off a loaner car. They'll take your car to the dealer in for service and detail/car wash the vehicle before bringing it back in.
Skylar lol you did not buy much have you. I got that with my 2018 Camaro and 2018 impala too.... so what’s your point
Michel Linschoten < You did not English much, was you? It's still a nice feature.
It's also includes free maintenance for 2 years.. Which no, your impala did not come with. If you have it.
My Toyota Corolla does not have that,,, then again it does not require special service at all even after 300,000 miles :D

I have a 2017 Ford Explorer Platinum, which I got brand new for 70K CAD.

You are pretty dumb
They've been using that for decades. Surely the patent is expired by now.
My Dad just bought an '18 Continental, Reserve trim with 2.7L V-6 AWD. Although factory rated at 335 HP, I think this engine is underated like so many Fords from the past. This is an excellent torquey engine that moves this 4500 LB sedan with ease. Build quality is exceptional, just a really nice car, and he got it for 16K less than MSRP. Really nice Ford Car!!
How many miles and what trim?
I got a 2019 Lincoln mkz hybrid 2.0 liter its an awesome car. We took a road trip to Texas from California a total of 3200 miles. What an awesome economic car and extremely comfortable wow wow. I'm really happy with it
Does the noise when you accelerate hard drive you nuts? It's one of the things I hated about my old Camry Hybrid.
Doug the type of guy to migrate north during winter
GY actually laughed out loud at this
Why not? Some people like snow and cold :)
Ryan P same here
Surprised you didn't mention all of the Lincoln logo shaped patterns in the car. The seats, the grill, and those fancy headlights and fog lights.
It's because they weren't in the shape of hexagons, Hexagons, HEXAGONS, HeXaGoNs!!!!1!!
Ha! Yup, that's it.
We'll see you at More Doug Demuro
As someone who drove one of these every day for 8-12 hours (as opposed to out and back on the dealer's driveway...), here's an addendum to what Doug said. Under all the fancy stuff, it's a Ford Fusion. The good: The AWD system is excellent and with the standard tires the car is well planted in bad weather, and has a surprising amount of grip in the dry, too. The base V6 should be plenty for almost everyone, and the brakes are face-pulling strong. The button shifter looks cool, but more importantly, it's fast and easy to use, which is great for when you're a working driver. Everyone loves the comfort of the rear seats. The standard audio system sounds nice and Sync for the most part works flawlessly. The driver's seat is very comfortable. Doug mocks the drive select system, but it's actually nice, because you can set "D" to have eco throttle response and soft suspension for customer comfort, but sport (firmer) steering. The rear running light bar looks like absolute sex, the unlock/lock effect on the running lights is really slickly done, and I think in general it's easily the most attractive car Ford has made in close to four decades; it lacks the...awkwardness...that so many Ford cars have, and I think in 10 years this car will probably still look good, whereas most ten year old fords are extremely dated.
The bad: the driver's area is...cramped, and I'm a pretty small person. The wood is overly glossy and the glossy clearcoat looks cheap as it wears a bit, and doug is right - they get really, really close to getting this all right, but the back panel controls in particular don't age well. The trunk isn't big; it's small compared to the 7-series, though not as small as the S90 (these are the three popular cars for fleet limos in our area.) The fancy door handles break in livery service, as does the trunk closing mechanism. Nobody knows how to get out of the cars (which is a plus in our circles, as it stops clients from opening their doors into traffic and such.) The base V6 drinks gas like crazy compared to much more fuel-efficient cars like the S90 (a car that makes the interior of the Continental look like a joke.)
There are, however, two big flaws: one is professional driver safety. Any time the doors are unlocked, even if someone is inside, the door buttons light up red. If anyone wants to rob you - limo drivers often do have a fair bit of cash on them - they have a nice handy indicator as to whether they doors are unlocked or not. The second biggest flaw is that the transmission in this car is HORRID. Customers like a smooth ride, right? Well, many times you'll be crawling in traffic on the highway and the transmission slam-shifts from 1st to 2nd with a big, violent lurch. Every single car I drove in the fleet did it.
It’s a Fusion underneath it all? I thought the MKZ was the Fusion counterpart?
I get that manufacturers have parts bins, I mean I have a Lexus LS (70+k car), and the rear vents are the exact same as a Corolla, but it’s still a Lexus.
How much of this Lincoln is a fusion?
It’s not a fusion inside bec😊its bigger

it actually make sense. You want your butt to be warm but at the same time dry.
"Lincoln Cottonnettle"
I saw this car at the Atlanta auto show and boy was I impressed! It's definitely as good as a high end luxury sedan and should be treated as such.
I like seeing an American luxury car maker rediscovering its roots.
I agree. In the early days the Lincoln was a high-end luxury automobile but by the 1980's this changed drastically when American cars were shrunk down to nothing with embarrassingly small motors. The Thunderbird was yet another prime example of this. In the early 70's my family had a 68 T-bird and they were very large, very heavy luxury cars with a 429 ci V8. In the 80's the T-bird was reduced to a boxy 4 cylinder POS and 14" wheels with only four lugs, which were typically only used in compact car designs.
@@johnhancock6114 that was because of the oil crisis and people wanted small efficient cars, this is where toyota shone and became a big automaker.
agree. too bad no one else does. they will be gone in a few years.
John Hancock The t-bird had a v8 and super charger models into the mid 90s. They also had 16 inch rims maybe 17 with 5 lug. Not sure what you’re point is.
This is a euphemism for old people don't want us anymore and neither do young people
I honestly don't want sedans to die :(
Me too, this is a very sad era for our favorite segment.
They will never truly die, Camrys and Accords aren't being phased out anytime soon.
I agree. If memory serves in 2017 2.1 million sedans were sold in the US. Why Ford would be so stupid as to completely walk away from a segment that still has millions upon millions of sales for the taking is beyond me. Especially when they have always been a solid contender. My 07 Focus went 10 yrs and 231k miles with no major issues and was still running great when I sold it. Now Ford is forcing me to change companies the next time I buy a car even though I wanted to be loyal to them. I've even seen Ford employees saying they will have to buy from other companies now that Ford has given up on sedans. An absolute shame.
Replace your battery every 3 years youll be fine.
@@dmax5678 Because they're dying, and the people at Ford probably want to lead whatever eventually replaces them, like electric crossovers.
Love how the grill is a bunch of lincoln logos
should have a green lock for unlock... would be much easier to see
I think it's smart, prowlers would easily see the car is unlocked but they might miss a red lock missing a small segment.
Seriously. They completely dropped the ball on that. That’s the one flaw I noticed. Otherwise, this thing rules.
If you bring up the Lincoln continentals trunk my mind always asks the question how many bodies you can fit into there
At that price point, you have an employee haul them!

I have a newfound appreciation for Lincoln. They brought back the Continental, a car that had a long heritage with the company compared to Cadillac who ditched their heritage cars like the Fleetwood, Eldorado, or the Deville in favor of letter coded cars!! Am I the only one who thinks the CT6 should have been called the Deville or the Fleetwood?
Yes, I love my new Lincoln! Magnificent automobile!. I'm so glad Lincoln has brought back traditional American luxury. I would have loved center opening doors though. I've been a long time Cadillac fan, but moved to Mercedes and Jaguar....also Bentley & Rolls, but very very satisfied with Lincoln smooth ride and comfort & quality and dependibility!- Greg in California

Fun Lincoln fact! When you're talking about the gear lever, it should be noted that when the car is warmed up/has been driving for a bit, the gear selector will not shift through every option to get from park to drive or vice versa. I don't know if it's just a cosmetic thing or if the transmission needs to warm up, but it's something to know nonetheless.

This is the issue with the Lincoln, THEY DIDN’T PUT SUICIDE DOORS ON IT.
Ya fair enough
I said the same thing the first time I saw one; a big opportunity missed. There's NO reason they couldn't do it.
I saw an article that talks about how Lincoln plans on doing it fairly soon. Lets pray
That's the least of it's problems. Unlike what everyone thinks, when people buy a 70k+ vehicle, they care about the fact that it's a fwd v6 enlarged fusion.
I agree
got a navigator about 4 months ago. its literally amazing.
I have a 20 Continental Reserve AWD with the 2.7 V6 335hp. There are so many features and quirks you forgot to mention. Such as, how do you open the driver door if the battery is dead? Or, that the seat controls on the door are the same as the seat control on the dash. There’s a hidden cd player. How the car welcomes you with its lighting system when you approach the car. One aftermarket feature I added to mine, the front grille emblem lights up just like the newer Lincoln suvs.
12:18 speed limit sign says 40, lincoln says 50. Very useful HUD
Don't forget that you are paying 75000$ for this
Maybe he was in a 50 area drive to 40 area
Maybe it was 50 before the sign? I guess it take some moments for the gps to know you came into the 40 zone.
The speed limit sensor works just as "well" as any others. It's new and needs time and if this car was German you'd ignore it.
Book em
Ford has been doing the pillar key code thing for decades now.
Yeah, and it's still an amazing feature
@@nothat0therguy992 hell ya
An amazing feature? Hahahahaha!
yea shit is old and we all have wireless key entrance now.
It’s my favorite feature I literally use it a dozen times a day. You can also press your code and the first two buttons to unlock everything/last two buttons to lock everything.
I’m a chauffeur, and we have this car as well as the XTS that we drive clients around. I’d say this drives smoother than the XTS, BUT, the seats are horrendous on the Lincoln vs. Cadillac. My back is always aching after driving more than 30 min. The seats suck!
I notice they look "thin" in the front. The leather is so thin that it crinkles when you use the leg lifts. Not crazy about the seats.
Love these things, just wish it had different tail lights, they seem oddly low to me. Love those door handles hidden in the chrome, that is clever.
You can not used the cooled and heated seats at the same time? Bummer. I presume you can not set it in drive and reverse at the same time either? That's the first thing I check before buying any car!
anytime I think Lincoln I think of an old Town Car a family friend had that would only go in reverse and they actually drove it to the dealership and traded it in in reverse. Perhaps he tried to put it in drive and reverse at the same time and failed lol
Some cars allow you to warm your ass and cool your back at the same time
What I really look for in a car is whether I can turn the front wheels in two different directions at the same time.
That's actually how most automatic transmission work in the park position.
Yeah, what if I need to warm my left butt cheek, and cool my right butt cheek?
As a sound technician, I can see that that "demo" is actually a way for the system to recalibrate itself by "listening" to vibrations in the speakers, it recieves those different feed back vibrations that "bounce back"due to adjusted seats or different people in the car to know how to distribute sound, it'll move and adjust its frequencies and tones make the best quality music, that's actually an impressive feature to have.
Thanks for the info. It really is a great feature then.
If it was made up of one or more FM sweeps then I would agree. A music recording is a terrible signal source for calibration.
Briand Gaudet not necessarily, my mastering engineer listens to trusted recordings to reset his ears to make sure the last job didn’t “change” his perception. This is very similar concept.
Temperature, over time the speakers harden, leather hardens, foam degrades etc. Funny as the demographic of Lincoln is old people who generally cannot hear these nuances anyway.
DRIFTKING haha, great point
That drive mode confusion is actually brilliant, you can choose sport but reduce the stiffness by selecting normal, mainly suspensions!
The big downside of Lincoln is depreciation. I just saw a certified used 2018 Continental (lesser model than Black Label) with 27K miles on it for $31K. My mother had a 1995 Town Car that she bought certified used in 1997 for half the original sticker price. Were I to buy a Continental, I would go certified used. Big Lincoln sedans are great - like living rooms on wheels.
Facts I had an 03 town car, now I have a 95 town car. Great cars, I love lincoln!
Better check how many European luxury cars loose their value as well. I am told that because European become money pits as they age, people are afraid to purchase one for fear of large repair bills due to the cost of replacement parts and hourly service fees.
If I had to guess: It is probably because OLD people usually buy luxury cars, and OLD people tend to KEEP their cars for 2+ decades, not sell them off in a few years, which means there's not much competition on the resale market?
I don’t care what car Doug reviews. I’m watching it till the end every time

The only thing I would change is removing the center window post and reversing the rear door like the old 70’s continentals. That would make this thing a whole other beast
I fell in love with this car at the Detroit Auto Show and I believe it won the event. Im just not a fan of a Turbo V6. I can't help but wonder what a V8 would do for it. Had it been offered with a V8 I'd have purchased one without a doubt. Also something to note is they coach built a limited number of these with suicide doors. That'd be the one to have.
Ya full size luxury sedans belong with a v8
Although that V6 is the highest HP engine ever put in a Lincoln.

@@The_MEMEphis it matters a lot with how it drives, feels, behaves etc. A V8 would deliver the power a lotttt smoother. The turbo'd V6 will feel all raspy and choked out with the high revs delivering the same power as the V8.
That's why every Rolls Royce, Bentley, and Maybach comes with a V12/W12 despite being pure luxury cars that aren't focused on sport. They're just inherently smoother engines to drive
@@anthonym6918 My brother has that engine in his pickup truck. No issues like that. It has more hp than the v8s Ford offers. My biggest concern with the engine is are the internal parts strong enough to handle the work load. I think it will be fine in a car.
Immediate user interface fail for not making the lock icon go green on unlock.
A red "unlocked" indicator is stupid even if it does have a tiny segment of the hasp missing.
should be green. Also, as the car ages, what if parts of the light burns out?
@@RajeevSadasivan LEDs rarely ever burn out
@@pavansohal1030 Combo lock is a great standard feature.I've owned 1Taurus and 2 Lincolns with the lit keypad. Never had any problems with the LEDs or it working perfectly in all kinds of weather. I've had one Lincoln over 15 years.
lincoln really needs to be appreciated. i love lincoln bt they are extremely underrated.
They sure are. Ford invested Billions into the Brand and they're made on a different assembly line. As well as having different Engineers.
They seem under-appreciated by even Ford. They had he limo/car service market locked up and then did away with the rear drive v8 models. Lincoln needs to make a rear drive v8 boxy towncar ala Rolls Royce. Who better than Lincoln? I still think the 80s and 90s towncars were iconic. Big, boxy and affordable.

At my work there is the shortest lady all of 4'11" that drives a Lincoln Town car. Too funny. But a beautiful car.
Bring back the Towncar
And under reliable.
That style of door handle harkens back to ‘50’s T birds.
You gotta talk like Matthew McConaughey when you drive a Lincoln.
Doug the type of guy to fit a turbocharger on a Tesla
Theoretically it is possible but it wouldn't introduce more air but cools the motors and a bank of big ass capacitors
Lmao "Theoretically it is possible" nigga it is possible just get some duct tape dumbass.
Where do you get high pressure air to drive the turbine?
@@olekkuvppl probably the Batterie yeah its an idiotic idea but you could build an air driven performance enhancing part in a electric car
Electric turbo
any video always start with "ddthhiiss is.."
💀💀
And everytime he drives the car he starts by saying "driving the (car model)"
I think I saw your video of the Lincoln Town Car Continental a while back . Thanks for giving me a different perspective on that car and the newest model . I was thought it was a car for old people
The 1958 Mercury, Lincoln and Continental all had a 430 cubic inch V-8. Mercury had 360 HP and the others had 375 HP. There was also a 400 HP version of the same engine available on all three. The Lincolns and Continentals were huge and heavy but the 0-60 time was 8.7 seconds...
Doug the type of guy that tips the server before the food comes out
Rolls Royce for ballers on a budget
Or if you don't wanna shed out 200k for the s class and roughly 150k for a caddie
@@ethanl440 There is no Cadillac today that sells for 150K.
Yeah, until you purchase one across seas, then the price tag will be ridiculous. It's cheaper because it's domestic
Curt Hominid not necessarily the case where I live (Kuwait). The surcharge is about $3-6K across all models and trims. I wouldn’t say that’s terrible at all.
@@AbdullahQ1993 It depends on how the country is taxing per luxury vehicle. Not all countries are the same when taxing
Exceptional review! You didn’t miss a thing Hate they are no longer made but nice low mileage examples available
You forgot to show us the pull down arm rest in the back seat : ) i really enjoy your content its very easy to watch your videos
Doug is the type of guy that pays extra for ice cream cone sprinkles.
Doug is the type of guy to look up the word "dictionary" in a dictionary

@@captainfangle2245 look it up in a dictionary
Flex Seal™ ok

Great review Doug. Watch you all the time. Calling it “a plain luxury car” is a little unfair thought. True it focuses on luxury mostly, but my ’18 2.7 dual turbo does 0-60 is 5.5 seconds. That’s Audi C7 territory. And it’s AWD.
12:29 Sweet the engine has a cup holder. That is a rare feature.
Lmao
😂😂😂
Did you notice that doug never talks shit about a car if he got it from a dealer?
those GTs and AMGs wontpay for themselves
It's because the dealerships pay him. 😂
Yeah this Lincoln is quite a wet fart and he's calling it underrated lol. But we all know Doug is a shill, bought and paid for
@@yootoob6003
Why is it a wet fart?
@@NeoHCgbz
Aside from brightness control, what other stuff? I presume the heated/cooled comment was a joke since no manufacturer allows that.
