The MKZ Hybrid is an amazing and beautiful vehicle. For me, I average in the city, 56 to 62 miles per gallon and 45 to 50 on the highway. The technology is, at times, unbelievable. Lincoln did a fantastic job with this car. I have had my new car now for about three months, and have absolutely no complaints. My hybrid is fully loaded...the only thing it does not do is tell me hello when I get in...which would be pretty cool :) I have read the review here on Edmunds and was shocked that the complaint was interior space. I do not find this to be true. Also, I like the simplicity mixed with the luxury on and in this vehicle. The exterior is sexy and beautiful...buy one you will love it!
Love this car

I've been driving a Lincoln MKZ 214, 6 cylinder, AWD since January and absolutely love it. I spent at least 8 months researching and test driving different cars. The Cadillac CTS had such a small interior and such a high price tag, as did the BMW 5, and the Audi 5. Plus their interiors were boring. I saw the MKZ in person and knew that was the car for me. I don't know why Edmunds gives it a C rating. I previously owned a MB C350 and an Infinity MX37 and they don't even come close to the MKZ as far as tech and overall comfort. I should've had the dealer include the module that allows me auto start the car with my iPhone....

I have owned 3 Lincoln Hybrids. A 2011, 2014 & 2017. All sweet rides. No maintenance issues, great gas mileage, comfortable ride with improved trunk space & looks over the years. They are simply the best overall cars i've ever owned.
Fundamentally a good car, with a few caveats

I've now owned a 2014 MKZ 3.7 AWD for about 3 years now, and by and large I have been pleased with the car. The best way to describe it is that it's good in the large majority of things, great in a few, meh in a few and bad in a few. The Good: the 3.7 V6 is easily the best motor of the group outside of the hybrid. Good power, very reliable, and smooth. Fuel economy is just okay, but I'll take it for the reliability. It's a simple motor that runs well. The sound quality with the THX system is really good, and the bluetooth is super reliable. I used to not be a fan of the weird touch-sensitive climate and radio controls, but as time has gone on, it's grown on me...it's actually pretty cool, especially for the time. Lots of storage freed up by the push-button shifter, which is also odd but becomes second nature over time. The Great: even 10 years in, the design still looks great. The Haldex AWD system is incredible in the snow. Handling on a front wheel drive-based car (even with AWD) is exceptional for what it is...incredibly flat through the corners, especially with the active suspension in Sport mode. It feels like an Audi with Quattro AWD on twisty roads, a huge compliment. Like all Ford vehicles, the A/C is ice cold, and heat is burning hot. The Meh: The cooled seats are hardly noticeable when they're on. The heated seats are decent, but nowhere near as warm as the old Cadillacs I had from the 2000's. The clear coat is soft, and bugs etch into it in days, not weeks or months. Fuel economy averages 22.0 mpg or so, not bad...but not great, either. The transmission hasn't had an issue over 50,000 miles, but the 1-2 gear shift is a little bit rougher than most cars I've owned. It also takes a while to change gears unless you're in Sport mode. The Bad: Electronics on this car are constantly failing. First the front speakers went out...bad amplifier (and very expensive). Then the rear-view camera went out. After that it was a litany of other things: front door won't lock with fob, back door won't unlock with fob, trunk close assist stops working, infotainment screen randomly shuts off every few months, and the door chime randomly changes over between the current chime, and the old 2000's Ford chime. Headroom in both rows (especially the back) is also very minimal. Lastly, the water pumps on these 3.7's are internal, so when they break (and they ALL do), the cost to repair is WILD...expect $2,500 minimum. That's the only issue with this motor, however. Also, if you have to replace a turn signal bulb, look out...you have to replace the whole headlight assembly, $500 per side minimum (the headlights turn with the steering wheel, so it's kind of a complex setup). Would I buy this car again? I think I would, mostly due to the bones of the car (engine, trans, brakes, suspension, climate control and design) being very solid. It makes it worth dealing with the electronic issues, and the other smaller things that pop up over time. Well worth the money on the used market, if you can find one in good condition!

Don't really know where to begin to explain on the pros about this car. I found this car on the cargurus website and got an amazing deal. I have owned this car for about a year now and put on about 30k miles since purchase. Comfort and safety was important for obvious reasons and driving as much as I do. I have nicknamed this car the 'Batmobile' because...she sure goes..and goes fast. Has great get up and go for quick navigation needs, handles very well. Even our SUV cannot live up to this car in the infamous windy, snowy weather here in Minnesota. Updated since last review: this car has become a part of our family, I have driven this car through snow drifts this past winter taller than the car itself—it still prevailed. I just love this car, she is my other baby. I have not had any issues other than regular maintenance.
