After having the vehicle for 3 years now with 58K on the odometer I thought that now was a appropriate time for a real world review, and this is what I found. I have had ZERO issues with reliability and have gotten everything I wanted out of the car. True, it is not exactly the most stylish car out there(pales in comparison to say a CTS) but also costs a good 10K less. Gas mileage has been 23.3 avg over highway (80mph) and city. I do about 20K miles a year. The heated and cooled seats are a fovorite in the winter/summer, I know it sounds somewhat rediculous to have A/C seats but trust me...when summer gets here it is a wonderful perk! Great car for the money.
Excellent snow machine and more !

Although not the most ‘beautiful’ car in the world, this vehicle is quite amazing. Throughout the entire length of ownership only one major issue happened at 120k miles(which ended up not being a big deal at all). It was a power steering leak because a hose had unattended at the clamp. At nearly 7 in. of ground clearance to the center brace on the frame together with it’s AWD system this car does so much better in the snow than it’s looks would perceive. This is a very reliable car. The only thing that disappoints me of this car is the chrome wheels. If you live in a place like I do that receives a moderated amount of snow - with all the salt and slush the chrome has basically disintegrated and peeled down to the bare metal. Very cheap quality wheels. Nonetheless if you’re looking at this car to purchase used I would say go for it! It’s really a good car.

Despite what the report says about not attracting the younger crowds, I am 28 and own 2 Lincolns MKX & MKZ. I looked at BMW, Mercedes, Audi and I still liked the Lincoln vehicles better. The options and value are by far the best on the market. Since I have bought mine 2 of my friends have purchased similar Lincolns. First and foremost I am a Ford fan, and Lincoln has just earned a my business for years to come.

This has been the most trouble free car I've owned, and that includes Lexus, Acura, Infiniti. Change the oil, put gas in, stick the key in and start, enjoy miles of smiles. I get a lot of looks and comments about the exterior. Strong V6, great 6 speed transmission, comfortable ride. If you can find a used one at a decent price and with a clean record, buy it!
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.

Purchased the MKZ used with 120,000 miles. vehicle is solid runs feels and looks great. Comfort is excellent. The only thing I noticed is that at lower speeds right around 20 miles per hour there is a vibration. It seems to warm up and stop doing this after it drives a while. As you speed up it stops. I’ve read that a new rear 2 piece drive shaft will fix this issue. The 2 piece drive shaft is 433 dollars for the part. In almost all cases this has fixed the problem. Wish Lincoln would make a recall but they have not done so yet. In any event I plan on replacing the driveshaft part from this website. https://www.wholesaleimportparts.com/Lincoln_MKZ_Driveshaft.php?gclid=Cj0KCQiAnuDTBRDUARIsAL41eDrjw9QT5f1Y4eykQY6ROt8YgggtZyArrxXtCoVYsACxGu_-zne2XlcaAgwVEALw_wcB Hope this review helps. The car is really fantastic. I’m very happy with it. At 120,000 miles it still looks and rides great. I will post again when my part is replaced. Well had the part replaced for free under the used car dealers terms and could not be more happy. The drive shaft did eventually develop a loud banging you could feel and hear in the cockpit. The problem was the original 3 piece drive shaft. It was replaced with a re manufactured 2 piece drive shaft and is back running sweet again. Love the Car and the dealer PAAUTOSELECT.COM was excellent.

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!!

"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.
No better entry level luxury car.

My Lincoln MKZ replaced a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria. I thought that the smaller size of the Lincoln MKZ would be disappointing, but it is not at all. The MKZ weighs only 200 lbs less than the 1999 Crown Victoria and the ride is great.
Love this car!

I bought this car as a back up so I had something more efficient to drive than my Jeep. This car is so comfortable to drive that it has become my daily driver. I recently returned from a road trip with the car where I calculated nearly 29 mpg. This car is dependable. I know I will drive it forever.

We looked at several "entry" level luxury cars. Was more ten surprised with the Lincoln. I drive 40 miles each way to work, at 70-75 mph I'm getting a solid consistent 29 mpg.We recently took a 1200 mile vacation and found the car the most relaxing comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. The power is equal/exceeds comparable Mercedes, BMW and Cadillac. The price was approximately $10,000. less then the above mentioned. This car is much more then a Ford upgrade.

I drive more than 40,000 miles per year. I chose this car over all other premium sedans, which I did test drive. I'm very pleased with everything about the car and feel it's under-priced compared to other luxury sedans. Handling is great! Interior is very quiet. Power is good for a v6 awd Comfort and ride quality are excellent. THX Stereo is Fantastic! GPS is somewhat intuitive, but interactive system is great. The only drawback is the lack of blue tooth phone, which may come later. I coincidentally bought one of the first off the assembly line. I found that this car is the best for the money - $10000-15000 price difference to other makes.

After having cars in my life that could spin tires from a stop light or carry loads of lumber, I decided that I needed a smoother, quieter, more luxurious car. I am in my car everyday as a sales guy, so I wanted something that would make my very active day a pleasant, calming experience. I got everything I wanted and more in my beautiful, Tuxedo Black Lincoln. I enjoy the smooth,velvety,quick 0-60, the library quiet cabin, the 14 speaker THX stereo with voice activated everything, the heated/cooled seats, the huge amount of room and the subtle, tasteful design that people compliment me on almost daily. Great job, Ford. Who needs a stipped down, bland, boring Lexus for the same price?

I just purchased this car and am very impressed with it. I've already driven 100 miles and the gas gauge has barely moved so I'm hoping for some good MPG once I refill. The THX sound system is wonderful and has so many useful features that I'm still learning. I love the light colored interior and the heated and cooled seats are the best. My other car choices were a 2009 Camry SE and 2011 Hyundai Sonata. Those cars are also good but this Lincoln had more features for a lot less money. Even though it's basically a Ford Fusion, I like saying I own a Lincoln. Little more prestigious.

I love my AWD MKZ. It handles beautifully and is a fun car to drive! This is my fourth Lincoln and won't be my last. I had 3 Continentals prior to this car and loved every one of them but this car is a perfect fit for me. I feel so safe and grounded in this car and it takes curves better than the Lexus GS that I have driven so often. MKZ is a great value for the money. The only thing I am slightly disappointed in is the gas mileage but with just 6300 miles on it I am told it will still improve. MKZ is a lot of car for the money. I am a loyal domestic owner!
Lincoln has it going!

Traded an AWD VW Passat for the AWD MKZ. MKZ much more comfortable to drive. The VW felt like I was sitting 1 inch off the road and had to fall down to get into the car. MKZ AWD makes it up a 15 degree grade in a foot of snow! Very smooth ride and plenty of zip!
L is for Lincoln not Lexus!

Just took delivery of my MKZ AWD after months of researching BMW, M-B, Jaguar X Type and Audi A4. Lincoln offers far more value for the money than any of the others. Exterior styling is far better than past lincoln's and the interior finally resembles the high level that lincoln of the past was noted for. This car comes with almost everything standard. In Canada where i live it is also sold with 4 year fully paid up scheduled maintenance so all i have to do is put gas in it and insure it. THX II Certified Audio is a must have. Quality is as good as any import. I really suggest if you are looking for an entry level luxury sedan..check out the MKZ. you won't find a better deal on the market
is there a ford in your future ?

I researched just about everything currently available. I could not find anything, American or import, that matches value received for dollars spent. If you want a luxury vehicle, mid size, that offers excellent comfort, convenience features, and outstanding fuel economy on 87 octane, look no more. I only have 2000 miles on the vehicle, and I am already getting advertised fuel economy, plus. Recent trip on the PA Pike; 31 mpg at 65 mph. This vehicle is very attractive, well built, easy to handle, very quiet on the road, and continues the prestige associated with the Lincoln brand.

Car offers just about every option in the book for a reasonable price. The SYNC system is outstanding and provides the bluetooth capability some reviewers were asking for. On the other hand there are a lot of things that say Ford/Mercury and not Lincoln. The floor mats define cheap. The seats are not comfortable for long periods. The center console is too far rearward to rest elbow when driving. Transmission sometimes gives very sudden/harsh down shifts. And worst of all, there is a very annoying powertrain vibration/resonance at 2000 rpm that produces both an audible noise and tactile feel in steering wheel/gas pedal.
Worth considering

In short, financed an '08 in Vapor Silver w/ AWD fully loaded with 39k back in 2012. Ended up having a cracked engine block which caused a cam sensor to fail, the steering wheel to lockup and the car unable to drive at 123k miles. Sad as I liked the car. I don't have any bad feelings toward the Lincoln brand as the car was reliable aside from that incident and I don't believe that every Lincoln will have this issues. Good highlighta, Loved the styling, powerful V6 engine, great compliments about the car from strangers, how reliable the car was, AWD was helpful, ventilated seats are awesome, THX II stereo was amazing, Sync/Nav system works better than Toyota products and the quality of the paint and leather are great. Areas of improvement The ride wasn't as smooth as I had hoped, the interior materials weren't great Xenon headlights could have been positioned to aim higher up and project more light as the MKS does, No folding exterior mirrors, Gas guzzler, Seats aren't wide and I'm a slim guy. My engine issue aside, I encourage others to give this car a shot. It'a great car.

I love this car - have only had it 7 months and have driven it in all sorts of road/weather conditions. Recently took a major road trip (5000+ miles) without any trouble or hint of a problem. It is SO comfortable and stylish - not sure why there aren't more on the roads!My every driving wish seems to be its command - it is very responsive. You get a whole lot for your money with this car and I am looking forward to it being as good as the 11 year old Town Car that I traded in at 192,000+ miles. Why buy foreign cars when Lincoln is the best money can buy - and as American as baseball! Love my car - or did I already say that? ;))

My last car was a 2006 Mercedes Benz E350. It was a wonderful car and well it should be for $55,000.00. The standard equipment of the MKZ far exceeds the E. (leather seats, A/C and heated seats, a super sounding standard audio system, back up sensors) On a day to day basis, handling is more than comperable. This did surprise me. No charge for maint. and $200 to $400 less per month on a lease than the C or E respectively, makes this car as my choice, a no brainer.

Not a bad car but, the Lincoln LS had a lot more going for it. Where is the power articulating steering wheel? Why doesn't the "Easy Exit" go all the way back? Any kind of pull down for the trunk would be welcomed. The front of the headliner across the windshield seems to be missing a trim piece. It's kind of raggedy along the edge. No AC vents for the back seat. Even my VW has that. Mileage seems par for the niche. I do like the ride, and I like the look of it. Not a bad car just fell short here and there. Still a good buy for the price.

We traded in a 1994 6 cyl.Buick Park Avenue for the 2008 6 cyl. The PA had the most comfortable interior, GREAT gas mileage 27 mpg. All the bells and whistles. The Lincoln MKZ listed 18/28 but so ar has only 17/21. MKZ is zippy but the front seats are not comfortable on long trips. The MKZ price was about 5g more than it should have been. The MKZ is NOT the car that the Buick was. Wish we had not purchased it now that we have experienced it. Buick is much better!!

I am definitely not the target consumer for Lincoln as I am well under age 65 (under 30, actually), but after owning an AccordV6, an Acura TL and a Lexus ES, and putting 100k miles on each, I drove the MKZ. I was initially drawn by the price, but when I drove it, I was hooked. I have had it 2 months (and 5k miles) and it's by far the best car I have owned insofar as initial quality and handling. The SYNC system really works and rarely misunderstands a command. Oh and get this: I bought the base model-- absolute no additional options. Very very impressed with the car, the value and the deal I was able to get on the vehicle. Looking forward to my next Lincoln in 2011!

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!!

I had two Jaguars prior to the MKZ and they could not hold a candle to the elegance, features and handling of the MKZ. I love the wood trim, reminds me of the Bentley interior. Will definitely buy another and would recommend to anyone.

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!
Love it!

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.

This is my first time with a Lincoln vehicle. It edged out the Camry XLE narrowly. Generally speaking, I am very pleased and am quite satisfied. After test driving the Camry XLE, BMW X3, and Lincoln MKX, the MKZ emerged as the better choice.

Moved out of a small SUV because I wanted to go back to sedans for the ride, comfort and better gas mileage. I researched the heck out of the market (love the actual owner reviews rather than the editors, who only like driver's cars like BMW). Looked into Taurus, Sable, Malibu, Aura, Milan, and MKZ. Got the MKZ due to incredible standard content, price, and importantly (in Texas), the standard air conditioned seats. Bought at cost less $2000 rebate. It's an unbelievable value. Quiet, smooth, fast, roomy. It's got it all for the price of a loaded Accord or Camry!
Love mine

I am very satified with this car. The quality was better than the others in this price range. I love the sync radio system and the sound is clear. I bought the FWD for better gas mileage and have driven it in a few inches of snow and it seems fine. I love the air conditioned seats. Lots of room in the trunk and a quiet ride. It is not as much fun as my BMW 528i was to drive when I was lucky enough to have it running. The oil changes and routine maintenence is cheap compared to BMW. This is the first American made luxury car I have owned in quite a while. I always liked the chrome. This had nice details and a eye catching look.
New Lincoln MKZ makes me want to drive

I just love my new MKZ. I was all set to buy a Honda Accord V6, but with my friends telling my to buy American I thought I'd test drive the MKZ and ended up walking out with one. Everything is super. I am so excited about this car. I love the features like beautiful interior, SYNC with hands free bluetooth phone, satalite radio, and heated and cooled seats. The car is so comfortable. It handles great and fuel economy seems good so far. The best thing is that it was and incredible value. It was by far better than the Honda and I'm loving it. The dealer was super. Only problem is that I just want to drive. It is just fun.
Love it!

Great car, just had it for about a month. Love the interior and the sync system, even though at first it was a little hard to understand. I love the gas mileage of this car. Traded in my Navigator for this car. That car which averaged about 14 mpg, while I'm getting about 23.4 in my 2008 mkz awd.

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.
Lovin my Lincoln

08 brings std. cooled seats, reverse sensing and new sync system with hands free, voice activated mp3 and phone features. Drives,rides and looks great! Don't waste your money on foreign competition, give this car a test drive first! We can pick any car apart,but with the money we save on this car, it will come in handy with gas prices headed way up!

This is simply the best car I've ever owned - and I've owned many. I just got out of an '04 Lincoln LS, which was great. I wasn't pleased that Lincoln stopped making them and decided to shop the field. I test drove many. I went with the MKZ and could not be happier. There is really no comparison. There is nothing that comes close to the MKZ at this price point. If you're even slightly considering the MKZ, don't hesitate. If not, you should. You will be shocked at how great this car is. By far the nicest, most comfortable, quietest ride I've had in over 30 years of driving.

Beautiful looking car. Needs more interior head room for anyone taller then 6'. Trunk lid should be easier to operate. Powerful, comfortable. No mechanical failures 2400 miles. Good buy for the money so far. This is my 3rd Ford product.
