2010 4dr Sedan 273-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 seat comfort see full Lincoln MKS review
2009 4dr Sedan 273-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 This the best point of this car. The leather, from Scotland, is the best I have experienced in a car... And the room is such that my 6 foot son feels separate from me when along for the drive. see full Lincoln MKS review
2009 4dr Sedan 273-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Front seats are the most comfortable ones I have sat in, the lumbar adjustment is great, not only goes in and out ( harder / softer ), it also has an adjustment for up aand down. see full Lincoln MKS review
2009 4dr Sedan 273-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Honeslty hard to explain. My kids feel like they are on a couch. Heated. see full Lincoln MKS review
