Key fobs break easily. Engine went out at 130,000miles, replacement engine went out at 90,000. Lots of front end work done. Electrical issues. A/C failed.

Excellent Car - with a few irritations **UPDATED**

I had the itch to trade and had researched the MKZ, E350 and BMW 5-Series in the previous weeks. My irritations are with build quality - which I blame on Ford shipping their luxury car brand assembly to Mexico. As this was the most expensive car I've ever bought or leased, I expect ZERO defects. My MB and 2012 Taurus were perfect during my entire ownership experience. I expect the same from what was America's luxury car leader for so many years. remains they are left to clean up the issues caused by mother Ford/Lincoln by farming assembly to Mexico to save costs, but still charge a big price for their vehicles. ***************** Update after 3 years of ownership: Quality of the interior controls - cheap plastic. Push button transmission selector is cheap plastic. The "ok" buttons on the steering wheel are the worst. Contacts require you press firmly to engage the contacts underneath. Seats: Comfortable on long trips but they do wear you down after 400 miles. MPG: On interstate at 75 mph I average 32-33 mpg. Around town between 23-25. Engine: Built in Spain. The 2.0L EcoBoost has some nads! Value: For what you pay, it's not worth the price. You can pick up a 1-2 year old E350 or 5 Series CPO for the price paid new for the MKZ. Maybe the redesign of 2017 has taken care of the "cheapness" of the interior finish. I've ordered a new F150 King Ranch. I'm spoiled but the F150 is built in the USA by American workers. Get smart Lincoln/Ford and bring MKZ/Fusion production back to American soil.

I've had the car for a while as I've driven nothing but Lincolns for over a decade. The car is incredible. Rides great. Great Mileage. Acceleration is awesome. Handling is awesome. The only thing I miss about the older Lincolns is the feeling like your on your couch in your living room..

This is my first American car; I have had Jaguars, a VW, Mercedes and Audis. I test drove a Cadillac, an Acura, a Lexus, an Audi and an Infiniti before I ended up at my local Lincoln dealer. At first I really liked the size of the car and it drove as nice or better that the before mentioned. I thought the interior was really modern and the exterior was as handsome as anything else out there. I have only had the car for a month. I hated maintaining my last black car, so I wish I had waited for the color I wanted. I got a black one with the 19” painted grey wheels, it kind of looks like something Darth Vader might drive. I hate being in a dirty car, I have been dusting every day.

2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
1 of 2 people found this review helpful

I have had several Lexus's and was leary when my car leasing company suggested I try this Lincoln. Mine is the hybrid, btw. I not only tried it, but have now been driving it almost 3 years and love it! I love how it looks. Love how it handles. Good on snow. I love the air conditioned seats. The sound system sounds like you are sitting in a concert hall. The moon roof is awesome. Just about everything about it is great. I do, however have two small complaints. The trunk is rather small and the back seat is not conducive to a very large person sitting there. Legroom is fine, but the head room is tight for someone over 6' 2". My lease is up in a couple months, but I am going to keep this MKZ hybrid and continue driving it for at least another year. I love it. Did I mention that I get about 40 mpg in the city?
