Gurgeh Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 As thorough, balanced and well argued as all of his reviews. https://www.alexonautos.com/2019-lincoln-nautilus-coming-out-of-the-shell/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisguy159 Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Eh I found it actually annoying a bit. He had is in comfort and effectively reviewed it as such comparing it to other brands as more floaty. The whole point of the suspension is to adjust it.

walkabout Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 I've become increasingly less convinced by his reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one thing in the review that bugged me. I use normal suspension/drive mode only for a long highway road trip. Otherwise I keep it in sport suspension/sport mode and find the handling nearly as responsive (less so only due to physics of its larger size and greater weight) and the throttle just quick as my old 3.0 Q5. I couldn't see myself ever putting it in comfort unless maybe I'm working my way through a construction site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkabout Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 He did complain about torque steer, which is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisguy159 Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 The other thing is I think when he reviewed the mkx (it's been a while since I watched that video) I believe he mentioned how quiet it was. N supposed to be better in that area then MKX but he wasn't that impressed with it. Would have liked some comparis mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkabout Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 With the MKX review, he was just plain wrong about one or two issues. When he described the seats, he claimed the top part articulates separate from the bottom (as in the BMW 7-series). However, the MKX never had that feature nor does the Nautilus. It was a little mistake, but it did leave me scratching my head and saying, "huh?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkabout Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Just watched it. It's not bad. He overstated the"softness" of the vehicle but it's a mostly fair review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahbird7 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I did watch one review on YouTube several months ago where the idiot doing the review said the Nautilus was a replacement for the MKZ. I guess that means he didn't know crap about Lincoln....but I never liked that letter naming system either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKXMark Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 I ordered a trailer hitch for my MKX, said MKX repeatedly on the phone, and they ordered one for a MKZ. I'm glad they're getting rid of these stupid names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkabout Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 You have an mkx? I thought you had an suv like the rest of us? Why would you put a trailer hitch on a sedan anyway? Timmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmos36 Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 If I was interested in a MKZ, I would order it with a trailer hitch to pull my MKX. walkabout and CARR142 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to find out what they plan to do before they start hacking away at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkabout Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 that's probably a minor trim, but it would make me nervous too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heat shield needed to be trimmed, not the bumper. It's pretty beefy. The MKX without the towing package can pull 2000lbs but I'm just putting a bike rack on it. Sorry to hijack the Nautilus thread but I assume this applies to that vehicle as well! Timmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
