2009 Lincoln MKZ 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Review
Having owned 2 Lincoln town cars previously, I was disappointed with comfort of seats and ride. Road noise very annoying. Lacks the quiet, lush ride I was used to. Poor use of storage space on front doors. Needs indentation on truck to raise and lower it. Trunk could be deeper.
Favorite Features
Exterior body design, headlights, and navigation system.

Review
I've been driving lincolns since 1959.My last car was a Lincoln.The 2009 MKZ is NOT a Lincoln It is a Ford. I would suggest that anyone considering this car should look at a Ford Model,and save between $5-$10 thousand dollars.

Excellant Nav System,Decent Sound System

2009 Lincoln MKZ 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Review
The MKZ drives well, is comfortable, and gets decent MPG. However, many gremlins have popped up over the last 2 months....2 broken trim pieces, replaced weather stripping due to wind noise, and multiple hard to isolate squeaks and rattles have dropped my opinion of this car down several notches. One thing to consider: Lincoln is till Ford and unfortunately you don't get stellar service due to this fact. Like the drive, not sure I'll keep it due to lots of time spent in the shop due to annoying minor issues.
Favorite Features
the ride exterior appearence
Suggested Improvements
improve the quality of interior and provide service appropriate for an entry level luxury car....

Review
Very pleased with everything except the trunk. There is no handle to hold while opening and closing and the car lacks a cargo net to keep groceries, etc., in place. Fit and finish excellent, responsive acceleration, smooth shifting, handles road bumps very well. Overall very satisfied except for trunk.

So far, an excellent car. Was between this, a SAAB 9-5 and Volvo S60. This car is superior hands down, great ride and very fun to drive. Classy interior with the dash vent open.

This is a great entry-level luxury car. Lots of features for a low price. The engine has plenty of power, the SYNC system is user friendly, and the seats (back seats too) are comfortable for traveling. Thumbs up from the whole family.
Favorite Features
SYNC system, seat memory-presets, comfort.
Suggested Improvements
Pull-down strap and cargo net for the trunk.

Review
So far so good after a couple of days. Was considering Mercedes C300, Nissan Maxima, BMW. The MKZ is by far the most bang for the buck. Standard features top all others, uses 87 octane, and inexpensive to maintain with good warranty coverage. Only quirks so far are the reflection of light dashboard onto windshield in direct sunlight and the dash clock makes a funky little sound as it operates ( why? ) Solid road feel, quiet, comfortable, sharp looking.
Favorite Features
Road feel, solid feel, sporty-ish drive for luxury vehicle, standard features
Suggested Improvements
Windshield reflection of light interior dash, clock makes funky noise.

Review
I was debating between a Volvo S40 and the MKZ. The MKZ was the better deal but also provided more head room. My requirements were comfortable, safe and something my husband would also enjoy driving. I went with the MKZ and I have not regretted it. I love my car, I feel like I finally have a real car for the first time. I already drove it in the snow and ice and it handled beautifully. I would recommend getting the brushed nickel interior- it looks awesome and much better than the tacky fake wood that is standard. Also love the bluetooth & the heated seats. There is also little to no road noise and gas mileage is okay- I get about 21mpg with a mix of highway and local driving.
Favorite Features
Bluetooth, heated seats, sun roof, mp3 plugin, little to no road noise, brushed nickel finish with leather interior.
Suggested Improvements
Gas mileage could be a little better but it still isn't bad.

Review
I traded an '06 Zephyr for an '09 MKZ. I obviously liked the Zephyr well enough to come back for more! While the '06 was a bit underpowered, the engine change back in '07 took care of that. They finally added vehicle stability control in the '09. The MKZ is a good balance of price, comfort, and features.Gas mileage on my Zephyr averaged 24 mpg combined, the MKZ is already matching that with less than 2000 miles on it. I'm no hot rodder, but I don't waste any time on the road. MKZ isn't for everyone, but it's worth a look!
Favorite Features
THX audio system. SYNC. Quiet road car, decent gas mileage. Very comfortable for 4 (middle of back seat might be problematic for more than short trips)
Suggested Improvements
Rear visibility when backing up is tricky because rear shelf design. Needs some sort of pull down handle for trunk lid so one doesn't have to get "paw prints" all over the place to close the trunk.
