Back in the game. Picking up an LS next week. Not sure if anyone here remembers me.

So, when is the next NY meetup ;)

MKS ownership I've owned this car for almost a year. The car in theory looks good, but there are only a few strong points in this car. (updating everyone on my mks ecoboost appearance package) Good stuff: *decently* fast. I've put a new v6 camaro in it's place. the new G37s give me problems...

Beautiful. I really mean it. Keep em like they are.

I reset the computer when I get into different driving modes. If i am on the highway i will reset to see what im getting, and then reset in the city. I get about 210 to 280 miles on a tank, and thats 17 gal with 1 gal usually in reserve (driving on fumes and then filling up i pay for 17 gallons...

My 05 LS with 52k miles really did well on the highway. K&N series 57 intake and that's it. At a 55 mph cruise with ac off, I have hit 31 mpg. more typical 65 mph cruise with AC on I have gotten close to 29. City is a different story. Stop and go with red lights I would get 10-13, and real NYC...

I will take a video of what I call NYC traffic next time. Stop light, then 15 mph crawl with no heavy acceleration, a string of 4 green lights going at 30 mph, then stop light for 2 minutes, waiting for pedestrians to finish crossing before turning, and crawling to a stop. If i do jackrabbit...

in my 3.5 ecoboost (awd) mks I consistently hit 28 mpg at 60 - 65 mph cruise. I have hit 30.4 mpg, according to the computer anyway, at a 55 cruise in light traffic with no ac. At 75 mph with AC on I've gotten 25 mpg. City, if you keep getting green lights and you coast, the most you will get is...

More trouble. check engine light is blinking, and the car doesn't want to accelerate. Hesistates, and there is a popping whistling noise as soon as I accelerate. Not happy with the car. I want to get rid of this lease.

My 2010 MKS has had a transmission failure, and now 1 month later there is either a misfire or some other problem. I want my LS back.

But under heavy acceleration I would imagine at least 50% of the power goes to the rear. I drove the FWD 3.7 v6 MKS, and on pushing hard on the gas, the front wheels would spin. On dry pavement... That NEVER happens on my car. Even when the pavement is wet, it almost never slips. It can't be...

Ill chime in here. I leased an MKS Ecoboost appearance package october 5th. I sold my Lincoln LS 05 and used some of the money for a down payment. I've posted pics here before. The Bad: Torque steer. Better hold on to that wheel. Not all the time, but sometimes when flooring it it swings wildly...

The Ecoboost is the direct injection twin turbo 3.5 v6 which puts out around 350 hp with awd. The base 3.7 v6 is very mediocre, but with the AWD it is a disaster. Car is very heavy. From what I understand, the Ecoboost has bigger stabilizer bars and a better suspension. Thanks for the...

My front lip already made contact with a driveway. As careful as I was. Lowering springs will be a disaster for the front. This car really is more about comfort and convenience. And it moves. The power transfers OK to the rear wheels when needed. But any aggressive turning and there...

Ok..so..I'm finally going to confess... I traded in my beloved LS to get another car..but I stayed in the family. For my birthday..since I got some crappy gifts...I decided to treat myself... 2010 Lincoln MKS Ecoboost with Appearance package. Ingot Silver on brown leather. Every option...

Went through the same. I know how it feels. Dealer wanted to replace ETC and the throttle position sensor and quoted me 750. I laughed in his face, ordered the ebay coils, and car is good as new. In my 26 months of owning the car, Besides for tranny flush, I replaced the rear rotors and the...

Mine is still for sale. Blue on Black ultimate package 05 with 57K miles. I am selling because I am moving up to a 06 with very low miles.

Side rockers do matter. Trust me. I had my 05 gray rocker panels painted body color, and while it looks very good, there is a gap between the panel and the door of the car. It's noticeable. The LSE / 06 ones won't have that gap. It's not a must though. You can get away with just painting it.

Nice pics. What kind of hangover was it. Was it the knife to the back of the head every 5 seconds or a dull pulsating pain in the middle of the brain.

I love it. Still paranoid of dropping mine (well on my next LS..doing a swap for an 06 when a nice low mileage one comes on auction), since I live in Brooklyn and these freakin potholes will destroy you.
