I've owned 3 Saabs, 2 BMWs, 1 Cadillac, 1 Mercedes, 1 Lexus, 2 Volvos, plus multiple cars from GM, Ford and Chrysler. This Continental is the best of all of them at providing a complete "luxury experience."
Don't believe everything the automotive press says, they are biased toward performance cars (I've owned one, a BMW M3). This Continental Reserve is the best at making you feel special, it is a true high style luxury car and it doesn't seem particularly "American" . The only thing "American" about it are a few aspects of the interior, such as the word "Lincoln" on the inside and the outside. Nothing wrong with American (I owned a Charger) and this is actually made mostly of American components here in the USA. It just feels more like a European car.
That said, it isn't cheap. The major downside is that to get to this level you have to pay a bit more than it appears. I think you have to get the Reserve Trim or better. The basic seats aren't good enough, you need the 24 way to get in a comfortable position. I don't like FWD cars in general (at least not big ones) , and I like a bit of performance too. So you need the Reserve trim at the very least imo. That bumps the price up. You could almost get a 'Vette for that which certainly will provide more performance.
However, once you pay up for this, I don't get the feeling that anything was forgotten, that I've been shortchanged on anything. Not switchgear, not interior, not comfort, not performance, not style. This Continental delivers Everything and not one thing at the expense of another.
Can't say that about any of the other cars I've owned. Reliability remains to be seen as I haven't had it that long.
