NOT WORTHY TO BE CALLED A LINCOLN

Written by: Mike38 on 07/22/2009

Vehicle

2008 Lincoln MKZ 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Bought my first used car. After many miles in a full size Lincoln via a former employer I gave the little MKZ a try for my wife. I liked the looks and it only had 6K miles as a former spotless fleet car. Was enjoying the car until we went on a 300 mile trip to Florida. My wife was the first to say my GMC Sierra truck rode a whole lot smother with much more comfortable seats. Never have liked the foreign type tilting wheels very limited positions and sorry but better in the GMC Truck. I do like the way the seats lay down way back but are not very comfortable when down. Over all nice car but far from being worthy to carry the Lincoln name.

Favorite Features

Sound System, A/C in Seats, Over all looks except bumpers,

Suggested Improvements

LINCOLN QUALITY SUSPENSION, Trunk Net Better Center Arm Rest, Pop the trunk wide open and something to grab on to to shut it, CROME BUMPERS, factory tinted windows, rain drip guard for windows, check out the adjustable steering wheel in a GMC Sierra. TONS BETTER than this car.

Rims

2008 Lincoln MKZ 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

the mkz is a great car overall but we had to have three rims replaced do too hitting minor pot holes that other cars went over I believe these rim are defective and are not the quality that you would expect on a lincoln so far the answer I get from Fords is it is a insurance claim or cash out of my pocket too the tune of $600.00 dollars all rims were in a four month period with two of them less thsn two weeks apart and happened on major roads even fords admits its very unusual for three rims in a short period to go bad.

Favorite Features

I like the looks and comfort of the MKZ also the straight dash instead of the european type on the new Lincoln

Suggested Improvements

re-engineer rims to be more robust

2008 Lincoln MKZ 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Traded an AWD VW Passat for the AWD MKZ. MKZ much more comfortable to drive. The VW felt like I was sitting 1 inch off the road and had to fall down to get into the car. MKZ AWD makes it up a 15 degree grade in a foot of snow! Very smooth ride and plenty of zip!

Favorite Features

AWD, 3.5 liter engine provides plenty of zip!

Suggested Improvements

Must get used to checking for a big blind spot when backing up, but once you do it a few times you are OK

My Little Smoothie

Review

After having cars in my life that could spin tires from a stop light or carry loads of lumber, I decided that I needed a smoother, quieter, more luxurious car. I am in my car everyday as a sales guy, so I wanted something that would make my very active day a pleasant, calming experience. I got everything I wanted and more in my beautiful, Tuxedo Black Lincoln. I enjoy the smooth,velvety,quick 0-60, the library quiet cabin, the 14 speaker THX stereo with voice activated everything, the heated/cooled seats, the huge amount of room and the subtle, tasteful design that people compliment me on almost daily. Great job, Ford. Who needs a stipped down, bland, boring Lexus for the same price?

Favorite Features

THX Audio (best system in any car on the market today), the plush, climate controlled seats, the 20 miles per gallon average with my heavy foot, the sleek, tasteful and conservative 'bling' styling, the interior design, refinement and quiet. Amazing highway ride (that ol' Lincoln magic carpet ride)

Suggested Improvements

Improve the interior plastics quality, GPS programming via voice, Sirius traffic integration with GPS, park assist for the front, quiet down the pedal-throttle feedback/vibration from the engine, bring back a little of the old, Lincoln air float/pot hole swallowing ride in city driving...too rough.

Review

I am very satified with this car. The quality was better than the others in this price range. I love the sync radio system and the sound is clear. I bought the FWD for better gas mileage and have driven it in a few inches of snow and it seems fine. I love the air conditioned seats. Lots of room in the trunk and a quiet ride. It is not as much fun as my BMW 528i was to drive when I was lucky enough to have it running. The oil changes and routine maintenence is cheap compared to BMW. This is the first American made luxury car I have owned in quite a while. I always liked the chrome. This had nice details and a eye catching look.

Favorite Features

Air conditioned seats, keyless entry, adjustable seats memory system, exterior looks, stereo is great, love the chrome rims and trim. Sunroof is standard. Solid ride, quiet. Love how the seat moves back so its easier to exit. Dials light up real nice easy to see at night.

Suggested Improvements

Trunk has no latch to grab onto. Thought about buying a chrome trim piece for edge of trunk. Slippery in the rain. More room for sunglasses or ezpass. Floor mats are so cheap was too embarrassed to have them in the car. Heated back seats. Hidden rear wiper would be nice.
