Quiet, smooth, and efficient

This is not an exciting car. In fact, probably don't buy a Lincoln if you want an exciting car (and definitely don't get a CVT). I have my e39 manual for that. However, what Lincoln does very well is make quiet, smooth vehicles that are excellent and luxurious daily drivers. This car is also great for long cross country trips thanks to incredibly comfortable seats and convenient charging ports for devices. Trunk space is good for long and narrow items but on the smaller side for boxier shapes. Just keep up with preventative maintenance and this car will last. I'm over 100k miles and it's still smooth and efficient. I like the design before they changed the front end so this year is nice and these cars can be found relatively cheap. Mpg can easily be ~40 combined if you pay attention to braking and acceleration.

Excellent value for a hybrid vehicle

Purchased the hybrid in June 2013. What can I say - this is a very fine car! I looked at all hybrids in its class and Lincoln had the quietest ride among all. Lincoln invested in what's not available in other 40K range cars: improved sound insulation and, consequently, reduced wind noise. Looking at its' expensive looking elegant exterior, it's hard to guess that it's most practical and versatile hybrid in a class, due to its folded seats capacity. I have no problems picking up relatives from the airport or even loading small furniture/bycicles in the car! I love the audio sound quality, the trip report and mpg screen, Lincoln Mobile apps and push-buttons star.

Stay Away from This Car

2013 Lincoln MKZ 4dr Sedan AWD w/EcoBoost (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I own a 2013 MKZ fully loaded with all options. This car has problems left and right. The build quality is very very cheap. I honestly now understand why I should never buy an american car. The key is broken and the dealer is saying it is not covered under warranty. the plastic cover on top of the windshield is broken and not covered under warranty. How is this not covered under warranty? and they are telling me it is $450 to have that replaced.

After looking at the Hyundai Genesis and the Equus, Audi A6 and A7, and the BMW 528XI, I ran into the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. It is fabulous. The lines are awesome and the drive is smooth as butter. I wanted an all wheel drive 4 cylinder and this one fit the bill and the price was wonderful when you look at the other vehicles I was considering. The car is awesome. Will update when I put it on the road.

Tank specs states it has a 16.5 gas tank, max I've been able to fill is 13.5. I think it might have the tank that belongs to hybrid. Drivers side back seatbelt does not work. WORST part are the doors latch have a defect, two of my doors at some point would not close. I had to tie door to middle console to drive to dealership. Very dangerous if you don't notice it didn't close.
