This car is a find. I stumbled on it while shopping for AWD sedans on the market. Very well done inside and out. The ride and acceleration are great. Comfortable, highly adjustable seats with memory. Nice, thoughtful touches throughout. I haven't yet had a 'gee, it would have been nice if.....moment' Definitely worth a test drive if you are considering a car in this class.

I did a lot of research prior to buying MKZ. I liked what I read about MKZ so I bought one. I love my MKZ. The ride is very nice. Consumer report graded it high also. Gas mileage not too bad (mid 20s). For now there isn't a luxury riding car with outstanding gas mileage. I opted for luxury. Don't have to travel that far.

5 month update

What a great car! Only problem I've had is a very slight pull to the right which I'll take care of at the first service. On a trip from Dallas to Houston I got almost 32 MPG with the cruise set at about 68. Back home which is a bit uphill, and with a strong headwind got 28.5 MPG. Day to day driving which is about 80% city and 20% highway, the gauge has been sitting at 22.7 MPG for about a month. On regular gas! After living with it for a time I think the dash design needs an update (maybe like the new MKS?) but I can live with it. Engine is strong, tranny is super smooth. Trunk is large and the fold down rear seats really have been helpful. Ford has hit a grand slam on this puppy!

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 had 2 Infiniti G35's from '03-'08, Needed to cut down on expenses, and got MKZ - Test drove a ton of others + this was by far the best value! Better, Smoother Ride (I drive a ton), Handles failing roads much better, better gas mileage, cheapter to insure, Better sound system (Get the THX - Its Hot!), better seating (ventilated, heated + cooled seats)! I'm 6'3 and I fit much better in it! But the best thing by far is the SYNC system - Its truly the most inovative system I've ever seen! I wanted an American, started with CTS but found this to be the best choice for the budget! Thought I was downgrading, but I find the oposite is true and I'm in love with this car and I'm a car guy!!
