What a beautiful car, there's nothing like a Continental.

[@richardbetz5531]

Rather have this than a Royce to be quite honest. This could bring Lincoln a dream comeback.

[@FMGLOBO]

Nice car...better than any Prius @

[@GeneralPrime]

guys he is just starting...u dnt expect him to be perfect.....who else just started running d moment they were born?.....i believe that with time he will improve...

I'm thinking of buying one next year in 2024,I'll most likely will get either the 2017 or 2018

[@BlackPanther786]

Finally a design that doesn't look like a cab and super cool to own it .

[@GordRobinson-ep7vu]

I purchased the six year old Lincoln continental reserve with the dark sapphire blue and the cappuccino interior! I’ve owned it now for a year, and I’m extremely pleased with it. The intuitiveness of the car is amazing. I have taken this car from Canada to Florida and back and it is riding in the lap of luxury. In addition, it sure does turn heads on the highway. I highly recommend this automobile despite some of the critics to drive the car for a weekend and think they know all about it, and then trash it in their comments. Love, my Lincoln continental

[@JCHMedia.]

That intro had me cringing so hard.

[@Yo_mama_wears_combat-boots]

I didn't see you there(?)

[@taylorb5681]

The introduction was the best part of this video. He's serious but a good all at the same time. Chill dude.

[@olhobbler]

nice review, very natural and makes me want to buy that Lincoln reserve. To be honest, the only problem i have with Lincoln/Ford is dependability. Maybe its the kind of car you lease and return after 36 months..but wow what a gorgeous ride.

[@dennisfinan7977]

Stop, they all have shitty reliabilty

[@chrisyoung4651]

Wow this is a beautiful car technology is getting crazy I didn't know there were so many features the seats omg wow crazy all the different settings the fan speed the radio USB ports the cup holders have light up with different colors and a actual outlet plug in and so many compartments man this car is insanely cool I want one the sun roof so big great review on this car unbelievably luxurious 👍🏼 I'm so impressed by this car 👍🏼👍🏼 #Lincoln #Beautiful #NowIWantOne #GreatReview

[@blackbiker1961]

Turn those rear door around as they did in 1963 and watch them sell out like hot cakes

[@PrometheusForever]

Yea that '63 Conti was gangsta killa. No pun intended. R I.P. JFK.

[@blackbiker1961]

Yes and if they do that today oh man i would buy one myself. Its time the auto companies stop messing around and give us what we want

[@ApatLang]

They’re doing the suicide doors for the next Continental refresh actually. Just announced

[@shaneconner174]

i like the cupholder on the intake cover. nice feature for havin a cod one while doing the oil

[@jasonschaeffer72]

you would think that somewhere in the almost 17 minutes of a review one would include the PRICE OF THE CAR and fuel economy

[@TheKingxj]

Oh hi I didn't see you there? Oh by the way I'm not a car guy? TF! turn off camera and walk away...

[@davidfedor7733]

Bye Felicia.

I just saw this. lol

[@Pinkpolo85]

If I may, I'd watch how others do car reviews so you can learn from them and then get a style of your own. I'd practice having some talking points on certain features. You seem like a nice guy, you will get better with time man.

[@scottpedroley5851]

Beautiful Car!!

[@timpaone5443]

Oh hi there, I didn't see you there=extra cheese please

[@PUBNave]

Tim paone I said, "Oh brother." when I heard that.

[@doug9066]

I bought a 2017 Lincoln Continental Reserve which have so much to learn especially the remote start. Anyhow I love this car. Plus figure out the kick trunk open which had tried but may never use it anyhow.

[@DR_SOLO]

I am waiting for the time when you give the introduction,........ ( " We Have The Goliath Of All Cars....." ). Love the amount of detail pages to the Evey day used feature's. nice review.

[@SirGeneTX]

A non car guy? Lol yup very evident. But hey if you enjoy doing this keep at it. One suggestion I have is to do a couple run throughs before filming one. Just do 3 takes and you'll see that the 3rd one your timing is much smoother. Also be sure you know what everything you describe does. People will instantly point out that you are clueless when a button is described incorrectly and they will be merciless, so do your homework before recording. Good luck!

[@scottpedroley5851]

Gene Naftulyev Yeh! really! not a car guy...on first gear? Then let someone that is.....and knows more....LOL.

[@davidfedor7733]

Thanks for watching and for the feedback. Everyone starts off in "first gear," and part of the fun for me is the learning, exploring and discovery of the cars. I appreciate your review. (We also got a Go Pro shortly after filming this episode which you can see on our newer episodes!)

[@guillermogranados1809]

Gene Naftulyev

[@theclutch19]

You were a lot nicer than I would have been. "Oh hi, didn't see you there" is seriously lame and VERY cringe-worthy. "I'm not a car guy" is very much a nonstarter and painfully obvious as the video continues. You do not do the car any justice and, in fact, leave negative sentiment towards the car...any car.

[@R281]

David Fedor A car show for non-car people. This idea might work. You should talk about how safe the car is, in case the people driving it don't bother putting down their phones.

[@DLewis2130]

where tf is saabkyle04 when you need him.

[@7071t6]

RECARO seating has always had thigh support extension electrical, i was going to have them put in my car, due to my disability re: Leg leg amputee ? But at over 2,500 per seat, which includes cooling and heating as well and 12 way adjustments as well throughout the seat ? which was back in the late 1990's ?

[@danstennis1817]

What a great automobile!

[@HISPEEDLEVEL]

backseat passengers have low space for their heads. Have back seats up/down control?

[@georgemartin4963]

Is there a privacy shield for the sunroof?

[@doug9066]

I found one with 54,000 some miles under 30,000 which brought me here for review/research.

[@10040was]

Hello is the lincoln Continental longer then the MKZ if so how longer?

[@MrZiggy019]

Sweet ride.

[@colinj5291]

The plastic cover over the engine has a pretty good size cupholder.

[@travardon4632]

love it !!!!!!

[@buddyanddaisy123]

Love these cars..but has anyone noticed an intermittent "shudder" in the steering wheel? Seems to happent at random..just a slight vibration for about 4-5 seconds?

[@rhammond1963]

NICE😂 TOTALLY AWESOME 👌 👏 👍 I REALLY, REALLY LIKE THE VEHICLE.

[@s2k4ever]

I wonder what happens if the battery or alternator fails and you try to open the locked door from the inside.

[@davidfedor7733]

There actually is a manual release for the door, I discovered later but wasn't in this episode. If you look closely, just a little bit lower on the door there's a similar looking latch. I test it out at 4:51, check it out. That's the manual release. THANKS FOR WATCHING!

[@jesusfourtwenty2948]

rear door hinges are on the wrong side

[@jayti2234]

I'm in love with this car 😅😄😍😚

[@therungofthemooring9253]

Nice Job Lincoln.

Son of the morning v

[@therungofthemooring9253]

Evelyn Chea your welcome.

[@doug9066]

Amazing how everything is one touch that I had found so far including windows. In my car which I had checked that when I pulled down the armrest in backseat mine has controls built into the inside of the armrest. Unless this was an option on the Reserve I'm thinking my car is a different trim level. I'll research.

[@tonytouchzz]

It’s the executive backseat option, it’s not a trim.

[@kenvoigt3636]

I HAVE A 77 CONTINENTAL WITH THE 460 ENGINE, ALMOST 20 FEET LONG AN AMAZING CAR.

[@ARSONPINNACLE]

Are you wearing a Breitling watch?

[@ZimaletaMotors]

Great video, I really like cars and Talking about them, I do many different things on my channel, but cars is my true Passion, I was thinking of starting to review interesting cars and I am defiantly ready, good Job and Yes I watched to the end, you did a good Job, who did the video recording, the car is Amazing for Sure its more luxury then i expected to see, I am more into German makes and Models But I really like this One and can Appreciate the Luxury a Big like for the video for you, I will be checking out more of your videos.

[@stewartfosterc]

is that a cup holder on the engine cover?

[@ctuck757]

I said the same thing lmao

[@taylorb5681]

Stewart Foster that's where the oil cap is. Just in case you actually didn't know what the cup holder looking thing was for.

[@taylorb5681]

Jacob Rivera that's what I'm here for. Holler at me if ya need me

[@stewartfosterc]

interesting, what is this "oil cap" thing you speak of?

[@UnlimitedMangos]

Stewart Foster is that Luther because I was just watching it

[@atumre804]

Really! Hi there I didn't see you there....you just took me back to the 80s. lol

[@playad6332]

I love Lincoln cars I got a 98 Old School only thing I don't like is the shock problems and the ball joints I hope this one don't got those problems

[@letsgobrandon5524]

Does the engine cover have a cup holder !? Lol

[@Horizen3872]

I want one. Cool Car!

[@nathanwilcox6042]

that Lincoln is nice

[@djayt1215]

so the mechanism to open the door is fully electric? I feel like thats just asking to break, and unsafe in an emergency.

[@Smaillincoln]

Excellent point. The second button/handle I tested in the video is the mechanical door release. You can see the icon on the button at around 4:43, and then I test it out around 4:52. THANKS FOR WATCHING!

[@tnone7873]

you didnt test out sport mode? its nice!

[@pontiacgrandprix733]

Real nice car, drove a 3.0 reserve, ran well, quick, rode nice, lease numbers are not good rite now, Continental Reserve 3.0 leases like a Mercedes and it's not a Mercedes, it's a beautiful Lincoln, but close to 900 a month my CLS550 is 1000.00, and it's a 8 cylinder, needs a better lease deal to sell well

[@thomasjob4692]

What difference with the Ford and Mercury, only the Monogram and Emplem is correct?

[@sajigeorge6272]

thomas job Mercury doesn't exist anymore. What do you think is the Ford counterpart to the Lincoln Continental?

[@TheJared1445]

Saji George i believe the ford taurus is the counterpart to this car

[@user-pr4ju9yv3s]

Отличная машина!

[@s2k4ever]

Continental should have the light bar on the side.

[@glendaly6367]

I'm insanely curious about the front doors opening via the button. I'm sure if the car is in drive or reverse, if you hit the button the door doesn't open for obvious safety reasons. However, if you have an accident and don't put the car in park and try to get out, how can you open the door? I'm sure Ford thought of that but I'd love to know the answer.

[@jimalinc]

At 4:42 you can see the emergency door release to the right of the reviewer's hand, below the push button. Too bad the reviewer forgot to mention it while he had his hand right next to it.

[@glendaly6367]

Good looking out! I'm amazed you caught that!

[@jasonwilson8021]

Oh and get a couple of go-pros to suction mount inside and a DJI gimbal for the camera guy.

"oh hey, didn't see you there"

[@BladeEdge121212]

16/24 mpg?

[@yitzye5055]

Is it fast

[@jgpenniesworth442]

I think you should try developing a logical outline of the items you would like to talk about sand practice it before you start so that you can make sure you cover important things in a clear concise manner

[@darnellrogers8884]

I thought the rear seat had a entertainment console in the arm rest?

[@bigtuna9529]

Upgrade, black label

[@redjet86]

how could you hate on this car

[@dalestickel6733]

I want one !! I wish !!!: i am going to try to grt one !!!

[@psilk34]

More electronics to break or get stuck once the battery dies with no warning. Looks like we can't even be bothered to pull on a handle inside the car to get out. Maybe new cars should let us know when it's time to change the battery so we don't get locked in or out.

[@davidfedor7733]

There actually is a manual release for the door, I discovered later but wasn't in this episode. If you look closely, just a little bit lower on the door there's a similar looking latch. I test it out at 4:51, check it out. That's the manual release. THANKS FOR WATCHING!

[@mindyg8134]

lol.... Oh hi...didn't see you there...

[@prestonweitersjr.9460]

3/2/17, Just a Taurus w/more bling; sunroof is too large & doesn't have a panel to block the sun when you don't want it. I have a 2015 Ford Taurus AWD/LTD.

[@bigtuna9529]

The sunroof does have an electronic cover

[@gmp3699]

A fancy Taurus.

[@PUBNave]

I like it, but the more and more I look at it, it has the same features as my 2016 ford fusion.

[@coryhill6252]

What does the car sound like???!!!

[@dwalk9239]

"Wow fasts car I've ever been in. I thought my Prius had power until I got in a real car." Lmao!

[@evelynchea3518]

D Walkie

[@tspriggsabq]

Push Button Xmission? Takes some fun out of shifting. Easy to press the wrong button? Future Shock? Good camera work & nice review.

[@GordRobinson-ep7vu]

The car also has paddle shifters on the steering wheel. I put mine into sport mode and upshift and downshift, making the car even more sportier the horsepower, and the kick of the twin turbos will put you back in the seat.!

[@shawnthomas397]

Lincoln iam still waiting for a two door sports car lets go /happy new year 2017#$

[@jadanclendenny5336]

This the one

[@jerrymiller3320]

It's OK if you like the CTS6, but the Continental was not designed to appeal to you

[@dwalk9239]

Yes that a hole. Called a storage space. 😂😂😂.

[@Nards_1997]

O hai! didnt see u there

[@glendaly6367]

I gotta say, my father had several Town Cars and he had a 1998 Continental. That car was nothing more than a very fast Taurus. He did handle well, but not exceptionally. The back seat was barely large enough for me, I'm 5'10". This Continental has been thoroughly redesigned, and they didn't seem to cut any corners. It looks well thought out, those seats look impressive beyond words. They didn't fuck around with this one. Now let's wait and see how they sell,.

[@yeetyahh950]

i test drove one and was about to buy it but they pulled the "well this one is already sold" BS to try and get more out of me. Rides better than a cadillac and im a sucker for american sedans. Looking to get 1 second hand rather soon

[@jbird431]

new Lincoln smokes the whole caddy line

[@yippie6862]

6 speed in a luxury car? Come on Ford.

[@michaelmcmillon2012]

Yippie there 8 speed should come in 2018

[@Roadmasterism]

I like the rear of the car but not the front grill design. The current luxury Fords are basically a Ford Taurus with different seats front and back. The crease in the middle of the back portion of the front seat doesn't look comfortable. Overall the car isn't sharp looking I'd rather have the Cadillac CT6.

[@tonytouchzz]

I was very happy to see how surprise and euphoric the dude was at a opened sunroof as if it just got invented by Lincoln 😂

[@fahimgodid4221]

Hi nice car ٠

[@nyacoustics8373]

Looks cramped in the front seats.

[@MrOscar5690]

In the age of 4K, how do you manage 480?? Your sound effects made my ears bleed

[@90sdancehallkid40]

How much is it?

[@davidfedor7733]

It's going to depend on the trim level. This one is in the $65-$60k range. www.smaillincoln.com/new/Lincoln/2017-Lincoln-Continental-0d0e7f5e0a0e0ae75af8e0841f8cad99.htm

[@tspriggsabq]

3.0L engine seems under-powered for a luxury icon of a car.

[@66skate]

400 HP and 400 LB torque under powered?

[@tspriggsabq]

amazing that it gets that from a small 3.0 L. My Infiniti I30 is that 3.0L engine, thus the I30 name. It doesnt have that kind of power.

[@stephenjones62]

Oh hi I didn't see you!..., Give me a break. And the review got worse. You are correct when you say you aren't a car guy. And even with someone in the back seat with a camera, the shots were terrible. Work up a basic script before you say something.

[@joestephenson1227]

When I was a teenager I could have gotten me a new car for only 1700.00 dollars. No it did not have all these very nice features, but they did have options. If you did not want the options you did not order your new car with a clock, and a radio and maybe a few more features, But what do all these new features cost> well i bet you cannot buy all these new features for the price of 1700.00 dollars, right. What can you buy now days for 1700.00 dollars> nothing at all. Now you see i am comparing apples and oranges. Of course new cars cost more now days, we all understand that. but what would a new car cost if we did not have all these unnecessary features> well i bet you would not have to pay 45,00.00 dollars for them but i bet you , that you will pay around 50 to 75 thousand dollars for this rig, and you do not need all these fancy features.. I would like to be able to the old split bench front seat. Can you get that? no. why not? why can we not order one with the old style split bench set in the front? well its easy to see with all the new features you have to have the new split seats or bucket seats as the youth of today call them. i am not buying a submarine or a hot rod, or an airplane. Personally for me, i won't be buying one. i have a nice older car and i will keep using it till i die. Why you ask, because i like what i have and i do not like all the new costly features, and i want a front seat , so that when I drive i can have a flat seat to put my hemorrhoid cushion in and be comfortable and i cannot do that with the bucket seats. I have to have a flat seat, bot a contoured one. So the moral is why cannot you buy what you want any more? Seems like we are bing told what we have to have. Well not me. i will let my friendly mechanic take care of my car and save me $75.000 dollars which i do not have. I am an old senior citizen on social security, and they do not pay you enough money to buy a new car. Well thanks for letting an old timer sound off, and i did try to be nice and not cuss, or denigrate anyone and not the car companies. i just said why cannot we decide on all the new features which we do not want or need, and why pay extra for what we do not need. I have all my old bad teeth pulled and guess what? i no longer can chew steak any more. All the old molars are gone. i just have my front teeth. Not the car companies doing, just my own. If I had taken care of them i could still eat steak. Well you say what does eating steak have to do with the price of new cars? Well I can still have my choices, and no one dictated to me. like we are being dictated to, today. life sure has changed a lot in my last 80 years. 1935 and 1940 are long gone. We really did have it better I think, except medical science. The best medical care you could ever want exists today and i am proud of the medical profession.. I had a back operation that could not have been done when i was young and i suffered with pinched nerves till my last few years and now i can get my back fixed, and the pain is gone. Thank God for the medical profession. You did hear me say one extra nice thing that is happening today. I just do not feel the same about the car companies and why we still cannot get the old split flat bench seat which i have to have for my hemorrhoids, lol. Thank you for letting me pull your ear. Take care and have a good day. God bless. The old timer.

[@joshuacampodonico6554]

It looks too much like a Ford on some of the finer points and that’s kinda hard to swallow to justify the price point MSRP.

[@mrlbattle1]

nice car but it doesn't hold a candle to the new Cadillacs

[@carlosv6635]

so disappointed that they didnt put factory suicide doors on this car.

[@mikedc2206]

no reclining back seats?

[@rbeygarcia]

This is a TOTAL entry level, pared-down model. I see a ton of stuff missing up front, and especially in the back seat from the one I saw at my dealership. That pull out seat compartment in the back with the padded lid? Try it should have a touch screen lid with wood and chrome and shiny knobs akin to what you can find on Maybachs. It would also appear this model doesn't have the rear windshield bar that goes up the glass to melt ice and retracts back under the trunk lid. The rearview mirrors on the doors on this model don't have the blinker lights along the outer edge. How very strange. The one I saw was not any special model, either. It just wasn't as economically-equipped as this seems to be. Oh and the backs of the front seats didn't have that airplane looking pocket. It had zippered, logo-embroidered leather compartments where you can store laptops, tablets, etc.

[@seanp2221]

What's with the key features? Was this written by Johnny Two-times? Heated and cooled leather seats? No really, heated drivers seat , cooled drivers seat? leather seats? I didn't get all that from the first sentence where it clearly states "heated and cooled leather seats" just in case you're dyslexic they tell you everything twice, yea turbo, NAV , satellite radio, then just to be sure, it's turbocharged with navigation and satellite radio, way to go guys have another drink before you write your next review, maybe I got it wrong and it's got dual turbochargers and 2 drivers seats that are heated , cooled and leather and a separate satellite radio in back for the passengers. Maybe another set of aluminum wheels in the trunk just in case. Maybe proofread before you post or not, pretty funny tho. 😋 pretty funny, try proofreading before you post. lol

[@davidfedor7733]

Thanks for watching! Thanks for watching!!

[@7071t6]

What the hell is a lincon doing at a MAZDA dealership, should it be right at home at a FORD Leadership ?

[@Smaillincoln]

The Mazda building at the end of the video is right next to our Ford Lincoln store. The angle of the shot does make it look like it is at the Mazda store, but the car is parked immediately in front of Lincoln.

[@j9670]

Please just make the video less shaky, and use less zooming in and out...Thanks!

[@HardROCKERfromHell]

Average MPG 19 ? wow hello 1960s model engine
