A Lincoln For All To Enjoy

This is a very fun car to drive. The AWD system really helps out when taking corners or taking off the line. The dashboard is nice a bright at night and the controls are easy to use. The 6 speed shifts very smoothly and never misses a beat. I really love the 600 watt THXII sound system. Every tone is nice and clear. The seats are more than comfortable for long trips. The sync system is simply flawless. The heated and cooled seats are one of the best features on this car. The engine has a hard time getting going off the line but the power really kicks in fast. So far I'm getting about 18 MPG in the city and 22 MPG on the freeway at 80mph. This car really holds its own and you would enjoy it.

I'm 29, 6' tall, and I was going to buy a used Zephyr because I've never bought a new car before. I test drove the Zephyr and it was fine, then I test drove the MKZ, and I ended up buying a new 2008 MKZ! The safety features were explained, and they are thorough down to the "air-bag curtains" that drop to shield everyone from broken glass. I have a 1 yr old son. The design may be bland, but other cars like the Lexus are too. The curves of an Acura are nice, but otherwise it's bland. I actually like the design. Not elegant, but luxury and strength. The chrome is nicely placed on the side mirrors and underneath windows across the doors. I love the light leather, dark gray dash, ebony wood.

Have owned many new cars over the years and the last few have been either Honda or Toyota. Thought it was time to return to domestic. This car suffers from intermittent problems, like in the 8 months of ownership, the front two windows have rolled down when unoccupied four times. In addition, the seat positioning does not work from the key all the time. Lincoln (Ford) refuses to repair problem that are not seen by the dealer. I have serious problems, the car is not secure with windows rolled down, and Ford is saying if they do not see the problem, they will not fix. I regret not purchasing a Lexus! Never again will I purchase a Ford product.

From a long time Murcury customer, I made the choice to upgrade to the 08 Lincoln MKZ and was I really surprised. I just returned from a 1200 mile trip and the MKZ was great. 27.2 MPG and very comforable with power seats on both sides. The MKZ had a great price - $27000 after rebates and dealer disc. Compare that to Lexus and others...

Two weeks and this is a great car. Great features and nicely priced. Commute every day and am maintaining 22.5 mpg. Make sure you check out th e"standard" features - early 08s do not come with Microsoft Sync, regardless of what the Lincoln website and marketing materials say.
