How it scores for you10 scores
Roomy, quick in twin-turbo form and generously equipped, but anonymous dynamics, clunky tech and a costly water-pump weak point keep it second-tier.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; 1 of its 3 recalls was serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Limited history so far, so this score may move as more recalls are filed. Adjusted -7 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,950 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 35% of cars we track.
19.2 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 91% of other sedans we track.
Big-sedan cabin with a huge trunk, though the sloping roof and high deck cramp perceived space.
The 365-hp EcoBoost hustles, but numb steering and Taurus-based mass dominate.
MyLincoln Touch was slow and widely criticized.
Soft, quiet highway cruiser with roomy seating.
Luxury brands like Lincoln tend to lose value faster than average.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
