I'm a Ford man

1969 Mustang, 1971 Mustang, , 1976 Maverick, 1979 Fairmont Futura, 1990 Ranger PU, 1994 F150 PU, and now a 2009 Lincoln MKZ. Bought used in 2015 with 50k miles on it. Runs great. Only problem was with the gumming up of the variable valve timing [VVT] cam advance due to low mileage and not using synthetic oil. Love the big bright tail lights. Dosen’t come standard with daylight running safety lights for some reason. Took it from Texas to Florida and it ran great down IH10. Wife likes the heated and cooled seats.

A GOOD WORK IN PROGRESS

Bought my Lincoln used and got a great deal on it thus my high marks on value. However, would never buy this new because I believe Lincoln could've done better compared to the competition. First off is the trunk problem that many complain about. Poor design - you can live with it though. Second - the interior is definitely more Ford than lincoln and could use some more upscale touches. The OEM Brakes are a bit mushy but replacements improved that drastically. Now the good - car feels solid and handles wonderfully with a nice ride and quiet interior. The navigation and SYNC work flawlessly and make this car a true pleasure. 70K miles and no problems whatsoever.

I know a lot of these Lincolns can be Lemons, but gosh I got lucky with mine. I bought it at 100,000 Miles and in almost two years I have put on 80,000; still runs lovely. Had some basic Maintenance issues such as fuses and front wheel baring. But my gal has seen me to Colorado twice and Florida twice from Wisconsin. Love the sound system, Bluetooth can be finicky though. One bigger problem I had with it was about the sunroof stopped working on me and would of cost butt-load if I wanted to fix it since the way that its built in is difficult to get to. I gritted my teeth and had it sealed shut. They could of thought out the front area storage better than they did, but I'm no engineer. This is a daily driver and gets a TON of use and the leather just started to crease/crack. Big plus is it feels nice to drive, very smooth. I will drive this car till I run it to the ground.

Appears to be a good segment choice

So far so good after a couple of days. Was considering Mercedes C300, Nissan Maxima, BMW. The MKZ is by far the most bang for the buck. Standard features top all others, uses 87 octane, and inexpensive to maintain with good warranty coverage. Only quirks so far are the reflection of light dashboard onto windshield in direct sunlight and the dash clock makes a funky little sound as it operates ( why? ) Solid road feel, quiet, comfortable, sharp looking.
