A great driving car...nice smooth engine with strong acceleration...The interior is a home run...the prettiest that I've ever owned...No bugs at all after 6 months...My only complaint is disappointing fuel economy...about 17 mpg average including hwy.
Bravo America!
This car proves we can compete with the imports! It has a much more luxurious ride than most cars in it's class. Over the road it feels a little light, but overall I am really impressed by the quality both in and out.

Lincoln MKZ
I am 48 and have finally found a car that combines my youth filled desire to have a sports car with the luxury features and comfort I deserve and have earned. I honestly cannot think of one thing I dislike about this vehicle. It is priced right, I get good value, the quality is there and it is freakin awesome to drive. The only shread of issue is in the blind spots in the side mirrors and I cannot honestly tell you whether it is me or in the design. Otherwise, especially if you get an A plan, this car is the best value around.
Best American car I've owned
Most miles I have ever driven an American car. Least maintenance, awesome performance and just got 29 mpg on road trip.

My Fabulous MKZ
Over the years (I'm 60ish) I have bought Fords, Chryslers, and Gm vehicules, now my first Lincoln. This car is by far my best car ever. It currently has 22,000 miles and each one of them a total pleasure. It drives like a dream, very comfortable and fuel economy is great. A frequent 1200 mile trip, which includes 200 mile of hilly country roads, I usually average 25.5+ miles per gallon. My only complaint is with the exterior design, the rear lights which are too large.
The best
This car is better then I expected.The ride is great and quite.This car has everything you want for the money.The power is great and smooth riding.
Real Head Turner
What can I say about this car but unbelievable! This car is a real head turner. I been driving this car since mid January and I get compliments weekly. The interior is excellent and has a luxury feel. Love the MP3 plug in for my ipod. Very roomy car and the dual seat settings are a plus as my husband has been taking my car everywhere and it is so much easier now that all I have to do is push a button and my seat is back where I want it. The car is absolutely beautiful exterior. When I am parked in a parking lot nothing compares to the beauty. The ride is smooth on the highway and very controllable on the back roads. I travel both to work. Both feels great. Love It!
DANGEROUS
CAR WILL KEEP RUNNING AFTER KEY IS OUT OF SWITCH.. HAD IT REPAIRED A COUPLE YEARS AGO, NOW THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING!

Great near Luxury Vehicle
This car has great styling. Good performance, handling, power. This car is over priced as a new vehicle by Lincoln.Ford/Lincoln dealer should be Order by Ford/Lincoln to give trade-in value equal to or great than value for as example :Honda Accord, Toyota Avalon,Lexus, ES 350 ,Cadillac CTS ,BMW 3 series, Mercedes C class etc. These car's the Manufacturer guarantee a range for trade-in value. It is undervalue by dealership for trade-in. Most dealership will give you a low-ball trade-in value.

Excellence!
I love my MKZ. I gave top dollar for top car. This is an awesome ride. I only wish the trunk would raise up when button pushed. I love the THX system navigation and the maple trim in my model. This is just great. Can't wait till the MKR is out.
Awesome Car for the Money
I am 47 and this car suits me very well. This is one of the best cars I have owned. I love the comfort and style. I love the characteristic Lincoln ride and quietness. No problems yet (12,000 mile mark). Gets 27 mpg at 75mph as well. Cruises like a dream. Good cold A/C for hot Texas summers! For the money it is an excellent value. I was also able to use an employee discount feature to lower the price as well. I bought this car after driving a used Zephyr that I bought for my Mom.
great car
this is the best car i have ever had
Great Value as Late Model Used Car
We bought this car in mid-2008 at a time when dealers were hurting. It had 9,000 miles on it. We are now over 27,000 miles and the car has performed wonderfully. No this is not a European/Japanese luxury car. But it delivers good gas mileage, 23/29, great comfort and it looks sharp. It has also proven to be very reliable. As a late model used car, the MKZ can be a super value!
Nicest car i've ever owned
Spectacular handling, very comfortable, fun to drive, a ton of horsepower, very well redesigned from the 06 zephyr. Nicer riding than the 5 series and the avalon. I am coming out of a maxima, and it does not compare to the ride and quality of a ride than the mkz. If you are looking for a car with all of these specs you have to look at this vehicle. One of a kind.
Excellent Handling and Smooth Ride
If you had your eye on a luxury import sedan check the MKZ out, this car offers excellent handling, power and a smooth ride. The MKZ is a luxury car that is fun to drive and it has so many features for the money. In my opinion there is no better value for a mid- sized sedan.
lacks power
I had a 2003 LS which had much more power than the MKZ. I bought this car with every option, love everything about this car but it definitely seems underpowered.
BMW Sniper!!
Just have a few words to say, What a car! Fun to drive! Very sleek, classy, and elegant! Makes open roads and highways incredibly fun! Blows the BMW 530 and 535 out of the water! And at a fraction of the price. And no, i didn't buy this car because i couldn't afford the BMW. I could have bought the M5 if i wanted to, but, I bought the MKZ because i legitimately feel that it's a much better ride, much more comfortable. Much more space in the back, and a great Bang for your buck.
Drove a Zephyr bought an MKZ
Excellent car. The 3.5 L engine really stands out from the previous 3.0 L in the Zephyr (which I bought one used for my Mother). Fuel economy is still down from what I would expect, but this car blows away the competition for the price. I love the light tan interior and light colored wood. I was surprised that the moon roof, when closed, doesn't add interior noise as I feared it would. I have the THX-II radio in this car and although it sounds very good, I am disappointed in the bass level, especially with two 6 X 9" "sub- woofers" with that spacious trunk as an enclosure. The bass is just not there as it is on the regular standard radio! Rock and roll requires some thumping bass!
What a car!!
We have had our MKZ for a couple of months and still love to drive it. The design is fresh, inside and out. The MKZ is also surprisingly spacious and the engine packs quite a bit of punch.
Love my car
After driving Mercury Mini Vans for years I finally have only my husband and myself and was able to get my Lincoln. I love everything about this car. It is fun to drive and the gas mileage is wonderful. I am getting 29 MPG on the highway. The only drawback is the NAVTEC map disk are updated every 2 years. I purchased my car in November 2006 and received the 05 map, the new 07 map was released in December of 06. If I want an updated map Lincoln is saying I have to pay for an updated version which is in excess of $150.00. I don't like the fact that a $2495.00 option is already costing me $$$.
Very classy, a head turner
My previous car was a 2002 lincoln continental. I loved it, but was ready for a new car. This MKZ was the perfect replacement. It is so classy looking and so much fun to drive. I looked at other cars but this one met most all of my needs and wants. And did it within my budget. It is very responsive for a 6 cyl. But gas mileage is not quite as good as my 8 cyl Continental. Averaging 21 mpg city and road. Could be it is not broken in yet, only had it for 1 month. So far I love it. My 29 y/o son even approved of my choice.
Delight and Surprise
A classy looking car on the outside with a classic Lincoln looking interior design, very nice. Comforable seats with nice sporty feel and drive. Not my former BMW 330 CI, but very enjoyable ownership experience. Reliability is outstanding. Lincoln has changed for the better. I would recommend to others!
Love it to bits!
Saw the MKZ on the road one day on my way to work. Love at first sight! I got the alloy color and I absolutely love it. I am riding in style at a great price. I think Lincoln should advertise this car more. Most people are not aware that it exists! The style is classic and the comfort and quietness of the ride is wonderful.
Love it!
I bought this car four days ago after researching it and the Zephyr for about a year. So far, I am in love. Everyone coments on how nice the car is. It really turns heads! My only complaint so far is that the trunk can be awkward to close without leaving a huge hand print on the glossy black paint.
Compare one
I'm really impressed with the MKZ's styling and overall design. The ride is smooth but stable though acceleration isn't as strong as the Acura or Lexus I test drove.The interior is clean and well laid-out with everything within easy reach and easy to see. The THX certified stereo has nice sound. Hours of MP3s can be loaded into the 6 disk player. I have to say, for the price, I feel you can't beat the options (standard or optional) that are available. There's lot of American cars that really do compare in quality to the Japanese. They'll have a tough row to hoe to convince everyone to pass up the Acura or Lexus lines but I think they're well on thier way.
First Lincoln
This is my first Lincoln and I love it. The car drives so smooth and handles well.
Love it so far
This car is great so far. Drives smoothly. The nav system is useful as well as cool. The interior is just a little too plasticky. Having the Sirius radio built in is a real improvement over the add on set-up in my old car. Power is good but it's not as peppy as my Grand Prix GTP which has 20 less horsepower. I did read every review on here before buying it, so thank you to everyone that took the time to post.
Fully satisfied
We bought this car about 1 year ago. It has more than fulfilled our expectations (and we have experienced about every other car in and around its class). Not a single problem so far. Very smooth, comfortable, quiet, and secure ride. Solidly built. No irritating vibrations, rattles, wind noises, or transmission quirks. Wonderful suspension engineered to minimize the feel of the road a.k.a. riding on a farm wagon, that several other cars in its class are lauded for (quasi-professional reviewers apparently have a unique sense of whats appealing to many drivers who might consider buying a near luxury car). Excellent acceleration and power for other than the Datona 500. Highway ~ 27.5 mpg.
Outstanding
Best vehicle I have owned in 10 years. The navigation system is very user friendly. Seats are comfortable, sound system outstanding and we love the fact that we can plug in any MP3 player through a connection in the center console. Driving on long trips is pleasurable and a joy. The vehicle handles well and the ergonomic layout of the interior makes changing stations or adjusting the temperature level easy. Plus these is dual climate controls. The memory seating feature is much welcomed as my wife and I are different sizes. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone.
I tried a bunch, MKZ fit me
I wanted a mid-sized sedan, and ended up looking at 35 vehicles and driving 22 times in a 5 month period. MKZ was the best fit for me, and after 1500 miles I can't find flaws. Mileage is averaging 21, and got 27.3 on a highway-only trip at mostly 70mph. I didn't opt for the NAV system or THX sound, a small Garmin GPS unit fits fine in the console cupholder. Step-in height is more comfortable than a TL, and usable space much better than an IS. Console and instruments aren't trying to be the space shuttle, just useful and tasteful and readable. We're looking forward to feeling the AWD in snow, and a circle-lake-superior trip. All cars involve compromise, MKZ is one to look at.
An Overall Disappointment
This car has been a major disappointment as we came from a 2003 Lincoln LS V8 that was averaging the same fuel economy :18 MPG. While the MKZ is AWD, it has less power and a smaller V6 engine. The build quality and the materials is way below sup bar. The hard plastics and the gaps in between the interior and exterior panels is ridiculous. The wood trim looks fake, the dashboard has this twin look going on, that seems as if you could move the steering wheel and gauges over to the other side. Speaking of gauges, the retro looking dash is not cool, its very cheap looking! Note to Lincoln: Hire some better designers and stop looking to the past. This will be a long 3yr lease.
MKZ
All wheel drive was not on our "must have" list, but we are pleased so far and look forward to some winter weather to really test this feature. Interior is as advertised. I like the retro feel of it. The seats are a little lower and therefore a little harder to get out of when compared to our Park Avenue. Would be nice to have some way to close the trunk other than grabing the sheet metal and hoping your hand has a good grip. The trunk opens wide and the lid itself points straight up. Akward I feel. The power is nice and the gauges easy to read. Quiet riding after a short break-in period in whick I felt the suspension was going to be too stiff.
Almost Perfect...
I did a lot of research before leasing an MKZ. In terms of style, features, and AWD, it is a great deal. This is the first American car I've owned, and so far I'm very satisfied. Obviously Lincoln still has a stodgy image to overcome, but it's on well on its way with the MKZ.
A good start
I am a prior Lincoln owner and a most recent Toyota Avalon owner. So far the two are about equal with the Lincoln feeling more solid. Acceleration is good, but the Avalon seemed quicker. Lincoln feels better on the long trips. Large back seat seemed wasted in the Avalon which has less trunk space. Lincoln handles better around the curves.
Best car I ever owned
This car is amazing. Even in FWD model it seems to grip the road on curves. On acceleration it gives a powerful purr and takes off like a rocket. By far this is the best luxury sedan I ever owned and I've owned lots of luxury sedans.
Very Happy with My New Lincoln
I replaced a 1996 Subaru Legacy with a new MKZ. I wanted greater comfort with the safety of all-wheel drive, and the MKZ met my requirements best. It is very comfortable to drive, has plenty of power, and gets good comments on its appearance. So far, after 5 months, I have had no problems at all with this car. I would recommend it to anyone.
A Very Nice Car
At 3700 miles in 4 months this car has performed to expectations. 1300 mile trip from fl to nyc was a pleasure with one exception (see below). Gas consumption very good on highway
Comfortable, fun, fantastic car
MKZ AWD driven 120 miles a day with frequent road trips avg 6+ hours in the car. Seating comfort was #1 priority, followed by fuel economy. The 10-way power seat can sit upright eleminating stress on the lower back. Average mpg 25 commute, 27 trip, city 23. Handles nicely, quick excelleration, fun to drive. The controls are all in easy to reach/use places. The upgraded convenience featrues are new must haves. Dual driver memory on the seats/mirrors programmed to the keyfob/keyless entry pad; auto dimming rearview and side mirrors; well lighted entry; cooled leather seats! MKZ has many options you can program to your liking. THX stereo system provides amazing sound. Highly recommend this car.
Right sized Lincoln
The MKZ not only looks good but it comes very well equipped. The only option that I paid for was the cooled seats, which have already come in handy here in Kansas.
Superb value
Superb value for the money with all the typical luxury features which would cost $3-6K more on comparable models. I gave up a BMW 740i [drove for 8 years] and have driven numerous BMW 300 series. I was looking for a smaller car since my kids are grown up and wanted to downsize with the following criteria: a] reliable b] safe c] fun to drive. The computer came up with BMW, Audi, Acura & Lincoln. When I saw the Lincoln, I thought you must be joking, but I researched all, test drove and picked the Lincoln. It's a choice I have not regreted; I am enormously satisfied with the handling, comfort, THX system and reliability. It's a sharp, sporty luxury car. Firm ride so might not fit all buyers.
Good Value
This is not your grandfather's Lincoln. The sporty design is just sassy enough, yet restrained enough to be classy. I replaced my SUV and Volvo with this vehicle and found it superb in terms of overall reliability, style, handling. I get 22 mpg and the AWD performed competently in mountain/winter driving. Very pleased with it and would buy it again.
Pleased
We just purchased the MKZ and we are extremly please with it. The car is fun to drive and is very quiet.
Overheating issues
We bought the car in April and generally like the car. We have had an overheating problem three times on hot days in heavy traffic. The thermostat has been replaced but the problem is still there and they can't seem to duplicate the problem when I take it to the shop. It seems like the cooling fans don't always come on. Very troubling.
