Write a review
Brand new for 2009, the Lincoln MKS has made a splash in the full-sized luxury automobile pond. As the flagship of the Lincoln lineup, the five-passenger, four-door MKS comes loaded with features and safety, all packaged in an aggressively handsome body fronted by a grille based on the 1941 Lincoln continental. The ’09 MKS shares its basic chassis design with the Volvo S80 and is built to challenge the Volvo, as well as the Cadillac CTS, the Lexus GS and the Acura RL.
The ’09 MKS is delivered in two trims, FWD and AWD. Both carry the 273-hp 3.7-liter, 24-valve Duratec V6 with variable cam timing (VCT) coupled with a six-speed automatic with Select Shift that gets an EPA-estimated 17/20 MPG in the FWD configuration with the RWD getting 16/23. Lincoln hopes to introduce a turbo charged V6 for the MKS next year. Comfort and convenience features abound, including a MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear, 18-inch painted aluminum wheels, leather seating 12-way power heated and cooled front seats with driver memory, EasyFuel cap-less fuel filler system, a reverse sensing system, power windows, locks and mirrors, SYNC voice-activated communications system with Bluetooth capability, six-disc, six-speaker CD player with Sirius satellite radio, universal garage door opener, heated rear seat, cruise control, power-tilt, wood-accent steering wheel, 18 cubic feet of cargo space and dual zone electronic automated temperature control (EATC) among many other luxurious and practical touches.
Believe it or not, with such an extensive list of standard features, there are still a considerable number of options available for the 2009 MKS, including the Ultimate Package which encompasses 19-inch wheels, adaptive turning headlamps, voice activated nav system, upgraded seating trim and remote start. Available options also include 20-inch 11-spoke polished aluminum wheels, a dual panel power moon roof, 600 amp surround sound stereo with 16 speakers and 10-inch sub, THX-II premium sound system, Sirius Travel Link, backup camera, adaptive cruise control and a forward sensing system.
Safety hasn’t been overlooked in the ’09 MKS with features such as four-wheel ABS with brake assist, traction control, AdvanceTrac electronic stability control, SOS post crash alert system, rollover protection, 4- and 5-star NHTSA front and side crash test ratings, driver and front passenger side impact airbags and first and second row side curtain airbags.
Owners are, for the most part, impressed with the 2009 Lincoln MKS, describing it as comfortable and fast, though some have called the ride “bouncy” and that the MKS is not as agile as expected – but what full-size luxury sedan is? Owners are of a mixed opinion about the MKS regarding fuel efficiency, with some reporting better than advertised average mileage and some not so good. However, comfort, luxury, user-friendly technology and an impressive interior design all leave most drivers more than satisfied the ’09 MKS.

2009 Lincoln MKS is a large size sedan with plenty leg room. Leather seats come with full power and are adjustable . The vehicle sits as high as a crossover vehicle which is very good for people with hip or knee problems. The performance of this vehicle is very smooth and quiet and very comfortable. This vehicle comes with lots of space, including a large backseat for tall passengers. Lots of trunk space for people traveling out of town. This veh is very classy and stylish and has a dominant presence and I love it.Jan 15, 2022

Be careful of the V6 version of this car -- it has a ticking time bomb in the engine. The water pump is driven by the camshaft chain. If it springs a leak, it may leak water into the coolant ruining the engine.
If the engine is okay, it still cost lots of money to fix. Most models require the engine to be removed from the car. There simply is no room to get to it. While it is being replaced, might as well add a timing chain set to the bill. Thousands of dollars to fix, easily.
I recently looked at one on the used lot. It had an empty coolant jug and a milky oil cap and was a hard no, in spite of being way below book value. Oct 05, 2021

I think the Lincolns are pretty darn good cars myself. Nice ride, Fair price, great features, good value for a used vehicle. Very Little rust issues it seems. Compares to Cadillac & BMW maybe, but the Lincoln is better than both Imo. Feb 16, 2021

For the price this car was acceptable. The inside was very clean even though the back window shade did not work. It doesnt ride as smooth as I thought a Lincoln would ride. Overall it was a good purchase.Nov 12, 2020

I enjoy country road driving in this car, very responsive and comfortable to drive. Has all the options and just a really nice luxury car. The NAV and Sync System are outstanding. Has the Premium 12 Speaker Sound System as well as Bluetooth. Dual Suroof / Moonroof is a nice touch as well.Jan 02, 2014

You will need deep pockets if you have any problems..luckily I was still under
warranty & dealer promised to fix the issues mostly missing key fob,this car needs
2.This car was in the shop more than I can count. We traded it off shortly after
because it was a costly,beautiful lemon. It was also the 1st run of this car so bugs
are to be expected but I like to drive my cars. You can't drive your car if it's always
in the shop.Feb 02, 2013

The new Lincoln MKS is a good value for a luxury car. It beats the Cadddy CTX in features, room, and ride quality. The V6 is adequate but the new Eco-Boost would be a better choice. Mileage is around 19 in town and 24 highway. It is a very nice ridding car... lots of room and features. I would not say there is a fun factor in driving it but I have a Corvette for lots of fun factoring. Did I mention the air conditioned front seats! Dec 29, 2010

this car will run like a Ferrari its got the soul of no car you've never driven. Its the most fun you'll ever have driving a car. Plus it has 18 speakers and more luxury than any Cadillac, more stylish than any Mercedes. you can expect only the best quality from a Lincoln. the Lincoln MKS is made to hold up to 400K on it odometer. plus you get loads of car for a small price the Hyundai Genesis, well Hyundai clears it out a bit Hyundai is not in anyway made for quality in fact the Hyundai Sonata was so poorly built people would bring them in on trucks instead of its own power this happened to thousands of people who have ever bought a Hyundai.

Engine Oil Notification
My engine oil notification is set at 3000 miles. I choose to have my oil changed every 5000 miles instead. Can the notification be changed to come on at 5000 miles instead of 3000 miles ?
