Great car for the money
I went to the dealer to buy a Fusion or Milan, but loved the MKZ as soon as I saw it. The interior is beautiful, the engine is strong and it has all the options of a much more expensive car. I have been on several road trips and have found it to be a very comfortable ride and the gas mileage is better than average. Overall, I love almost everything about my new Lincoln as does everyone who takes a close enough look at it. Great job on this one Ford!!
Best Car I’ve ever owned
I upgraded to an 08 MKZ from a basic trim 06 jetta and fell in love. It had 116k miles when purchased, and it saw the repair shop one time during the year I owned it. A battery cable had gone bad and cost $38 to fix. I drive about 500 miles a week, and this car was extremely reliable. Sadly I lost this car to a deer totaling it but I would 100% reccomend it to anyone looking to purchase an older luxury car for an affordable price. One downfall I would say would be the MPG, but that was because I switched from the jetta and was used to 30+ MPG. I did find the driver seat to be kind of uncomfortable, I could never get my seat in a comfortable position. The SYNC feature was one of my favorites. Heated/AC seats were amazing. Sound system was spectacular for stock speakers.

An Excellent Luxury Mid Size Sedan
Purchased the MKZ after two months of research. Looked at all of the luxury models, domestic and import. The MKZ offers the best value for the dollar. Recently drove a 2010 as a loaner from the dealer; was not pleased with the recent changes, although cosmetic in most cases. The only feature worth noting on the 2010 is the dash lighting. It is exceptional. But overall, not the vehicle the 2008 is. Also; fuel economy is excellent. I am able to achieve 33 mpg on the Interstates at speeds up to 70 mph. City driving is in the 18-21 range, but that is just about average for any mid size V-6.
I'll never buy anything else
I love my 08 MKZ. Heated seats are amazing. Sometimes they get a little to hot. I know what I'll be getting when it's time for a new one.

I bought it after the 39 month lease
"Test drove" it for the 39 month lease, then bought it for the residual price, which was thousands less than similar retail prices on used ones. It's just a great car. Many features for the buck, and everything works. Quiet, comfortable, spacious trunk with fold down rear seats, A/C seats are wonderful in North Texas.
