Used 2008 Lincoln MKZ Consumer Reviews
Great Car
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.
I can't believe this!
I've had this car for less than two years, and take great care of it. Started hearing noises in the transmission and it also started to slip. Still under warranty so I took it back to a different dealer because I moved. Dealor wouldn't give me a loaner because I didn't buy it there! Needs new transmission after two years? I've heard an acronym for Ford and we all know what it is. As soon as it came out of the dealership I drove straight to Cadillac and traded it in for a CTS, before the warranty expires and it falls apart on me!

Rims
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.
Not so Impressive
I have owned the MKZ for all of 45 days, to say the least, I was impressed with the outward appearance and the interior features for the price. After purchase, I noticed several items of poor workmanship. As a previous Honda, Infiniti and Lexus owner, you recognize quality. This car is not quality built, I am afraid if I pull or push on something too hard I might damage it. I've had problems with the seal around the windows to the point objects have gotten down inside the seal and window and scratched the glass. This area also accumulates moisture and the windows are left dirty once you let them down after rain or car washing.
NOT WORTHY TO BE CALLED A LINCOLN
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.
