Ok to hate as long as you tell the truth, LOL! But yeah, I get it. I believe, personally, the EB vehicles like highway/long drives WAY more than city/stopngo driving, and the turbos, while providing some sweet performance, are also forcing early demise compared to their naturally aspirated siblings.
That stutter should be addressed by Lincoln. I can understand Ford saying it is "normal", but Lincoln? Sounds like they are replacing Lincoln staffers with Ford "rejects". Not good. Any EB MKS of 2013 vintage in your area up for sale? A comparative drive is always enlightening ... You did top up the fluid like LME recommends, right?
