I am always on the road. I have put 180k on my MKS.I have had NO problems whatsoever with this car. I had a LS before this one. Of course the MKS is a more comfortable ride. With adaptive cruise it saves me a lot of radar worries. Everything works great. THX sound system makes my long drives enjoyable, Moon roof is nice, not sure I would purchase again. The AWD with snow tires and rims work great when the roads get messy. Too bad they are stopping production. Looking forward to the continental.
