2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
48 of 48 people found this review helpful
Ive had some premium cars in my life and I've never received so many complements on this ride by all age groups. In its reserve trim with the upgraded wheels and roof it looks slick. The car was a first year production run and if you recall Lincoln had production problems with the MKZ meeting quality standards holding up release several months. Its said Maulally then CEO of Ford was ready to scrap the brand because of it. I say this because the car has interior issues. Ive had several panels fall off, and squeaks and rattles have been a chore for me and my Lincoln dealership to iron out. That said, Ive driven the new ones and I'm confident all those issues have been resolved so buying a new Lincoln is a safe choice and a wise one if you like the look. In fact the new hybrids have been re worked and tuned to use more EV than my 2014 resulting in a quieter more buttoned up ride. Huge strides have been made in the material quality from my 2014 to the current 2016's in leather and interior panels. All that said I'm planning on leasing a new continental when this lease is up. Lincoln has won me over in their customer service. Beats BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus hands down. Lincoln picks up the car for service leaving me with a Lincoln loaner returning my car where ever I am. Essentially you never have to see the dealership for service and if you buy Black Label you just never need to go to the dealer even to purchase. No one else does this and it does make a difference.

4TH MKZ OWNED (Have 3.7 model)

Through 30 yrs had 5 BMWs, 2 Benz, 2 Jags & an Audi. ALL tire eaters. ALL ugly brake dust a wk after wash. All Premium gas. Most had me in the SERVICE depts on a reg. basis. BMW the worst. (Over-tech-ed) Got tired of it all in '07 & tried an MKZ. Cheaper to buy of course and luxury perks suffered but was pissed off. Then, things like REGULAR gas, no brake dust, tires getting 46k miles rather than 20k, free oil changes, rotations etc and NO PROBLEMS mechanically inspired the next one & so on. The car keeps improving & current one's the best so far. DON'T believe reviewers trashing after a day with the car. ASK OWNERS you see on the street then test drive. SUPPORT USA!

This is my third "Ford Corporation" hybrid. First was a 2010 Ford Fusion (great vehicle), Second, a 2012 Lincoln MKZ (another great vehicle) and this one, a 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. I purchased the 2014 Lincoln solely because it has "killer" looks, very eye-catching and the newest battery technology. I've had no problems with ANY of the hybrids and the gas mileage is fantastic. I really like Ford's hybrids because they look like "real" cars, not like "insects" as in the Toyota Prius. There's only a couple of things I would change, one is the CVT transmission (I don't care for the "drone" sound it makes under hard acceleration {although it does perform well at all highway speeds}), the second is a larger fuel tank and the third is the many touch screen prompts (I prefer buttons/switches and knobs). Dealer service is great, showrooms are high class and personnel are very friendly. Additionally, Lincoln does not charge extra for the hybrid edition. A nice feature is when sitting in traffic, the battery pack heats and cools the interior of the car without running the engine and only comes on temporarily when the battery pack needs to be recharged and that only takes a few minutes. Can't buy a better vehicle. One other issue I'm concerned about is the premature wear of the Michelin tires, although the tires are not a Lincoln issue, these tires do not wear as well as other Michelin tires I've had. The tires are rotated and balanced every 5 thousand miles. I purchased a set of Vogue tires and although they are not "easy rollers", they perform much better than the Michelins. I have noticed a slight reduction in gas mileage (MPG) with these tires however, the extended miles of wear and road-feel is a good trade-off. I had to replace the Vogue tires because of tread separation and purchased a set of Pirelli's and those appear to be doing well (the car only has 30K miles on it). Don't understand why the tires are a problem because I have them rotated and balanced every 5K miles. In closing, I can only say this car is terrific and am disappointed that Ford is not gong to manufacture sedans anymore. DUMB move!!

I almost brought a Cadillac until I saw that Lincoln Hybrid was the same price as the non Hyb. I have this car three months and it is comfortable, fun to drive looks good too. The electronics are not at all confusing as some pro reviewers have suggested, nor does it make noise when converting to gas from battery. Study the manual a bit and the electronics will become intuitive. The extra space provided by push button gears and no shift handle is awesome. I have compared this to friends' BMW and Benz and the Lincoln actually has some better features. The audio system being one. THX audio rocks. Crisp and clear sound.

I love the exterior styling on the MKZ and the lines of the vehicle are beautful. I love the look and feel of the handling. The fit and finish is amazing and the sound quility is the best. The ride is what I expected it to be excellent. Sure there are more expensive vehicles out there but I think Lincoln has come a long way with the design and build of the new MKZ.

20 of 22 people found this review helpful
I actually have the V6 AWD, but I cannot select it in the options list. Love the exterior design, I am just smitten by its sinister beauty, especially in SmokedQuartz. The V6 is rev-happy, albeit not as torquey as GM's; the suspension is tight, and the electronic steering is not numb, nor too heavy. In AWD form with Pirelli's summer rubber, the car feels glued to the road on sharp, fast turns. Acceleration is brisk enough, but remember, this is NOT meant to be a Mustang for Lincoln; rather, a luxurious performance cruiser, and it fits the bill nicely. Interior is plush, supportive, and it gets plenty of praises, especially the novel arch! Touch-controls are not bad at all, as some mags say.
Superb ride & FABULOUS fuel economy in luxury car-

I purchased this Lincoln MKZ hybrid as my primary business vehicle and LOVE. LOVE, LOVE this car! Its a very comfortable ride, which is important to me as I frequently make trips of 500 mile+ per day in my work. Feel comfortable and relaxed starting out and getting back. The fuel mileage is fantastic and encourage you to make long trips without worrying about huge fuel bill. Trips to the local grocery store often yield 70 mpg! Amazing!! Highway is typically around 38 - 40 mpg. The only thing that's not perfect is the roof height on entry, and that is because my car has the full panoramic roof that opens up all the way back to the rear passenger seat. The roofline is dropped to accommodate the retractable roof. A lot of fun to drive with roof open, feels like a convertible. Just have to "ease into" driver seat paying attention to the lower roof line. A really fabulous car, though, in every other regard. This vehicle is even better at 145,000 miles than when purchased. It rides extremely well, fuel economy has hung in around 38.5 mpg average, and comfort is super. Typical local trips have been running 47-53 mpg which to me is amazing. Changed out tires from original Michelins, seems to not have affected fuel economy or ride. We often use this vehicle for travel between our homes, about 1,000 miles each way. Always arrive fresh and relaxed. LOVE this vehicle!

Previous 3 new cars have been Acura TL's. Loved them but wanted better mileage and to get away from premium gas. I've owned the MKZ for 6 months and put 7,500 Chicago miles on it. Seems winter mileage (mixed city and hiway) 38 to 40. Now, April, running about 42 MPG, Very satisfied with that , but may get even better during summer. Love the lines and ride. Tech controls a bit too sensitive and complex. So far, VERY satisfied.

No place to review the TV ads? ;) Must say as a 33 year old and looking for a car that is reliable, sleek, feature rich, sporty yet sophisticated - I didn't think an American car stood a chance. Then Lincoln redesigned the MKZ in 2013 and boy did they do an amazing job! It turned my head whenever I saw one on the road... And I'm glad to say the features match the top notch style. I have the '14 MKZ 3.7 v6 FWD. Also has the Tech Package, 19" wheels and THX sound. My highlights: - Exterior look is bold yet sophisticated - interior is exquisite. The touch screens and knob/buttonless center console is awesome! - Noise cancelling technology makes the cabin super quiet - push button transmission! Uh, super cool! - Techology package is a must for adaptive cruise control (read about it), parallel park assist, Lane departure warning & more - the THX sound is incredible! 14 speakers worth of audio bliss - The car handles like a dream, even in snowey conditions and the sports mode is fun for when you want more muscle than fuel economy - every feature you want is included: memory seats, a remote start that works from inside a building, dimming & Heated mirrors, power open/close on trunk, voice control your phone (Siri) plus the car, heated & cooled seats... All of them! Plus heated steering wheel. This car is amazing. Give it a try, it's hands down better than all its competitors in overall value, features and perdormance.

I previously owned a Cadillac CTS, but I like the MKZ Hybrid much more. I'm glad someone finally recognizes there is a market for this kind of car. I respect that others want high-performance road racing cars, but I prefer a quiet, posh ride. The technology is unbelievable. The reviewers mention the computerized continually adjusting dampening system, but they don't mention that it "learns" along with brakes, acceleration, you driving habits, and road conditions to improve over time. The cabin tech is out of this world--not enough space here to even begin.
love the style

ride levels,one of a kind looks lincoln did an awesome job not to use any ford sheet metal on the outside or interior trim,just love the car,..the my Lincoln touch is easy to use and not complicated like the radio in the xts,too bad people dont know what they are missing,love the ability to set the mood lighting for the surround of the cabin ,when the doors are open the light on the end of the door turns red for greater vissability at night quiet lincoln ride,,test drove a caddy xts before this too loud,dont want people to here me rolling in,if I was in europe i would consider the xts but with the speed limits in the usa who needs all that rumble,the lincoln is just perfect for what I need

First off I got really lucky with finding a MKZ with everything I wanted with only 5000 miles on it. The other MKZs had over 20k on them. so far I've had the car for 3 weeks and it's been nothing but a dream it's almost brand new the ride is super comfortable I came out of a Cadillac CTS and before that I had a Mercedes Benz 350 so I know what Comfort feels like in this MKZ is perfect when it comes to comfort and styling the interior is super quiet the exterior is strikingly beautiful. I love the I4 ecoboost engine gives you the power when you need it I feel like I'm still in my V6 and when you go into sport mode it is really phenomenal on how it handles the technology package is not for everybody but I love it some of the older people don't like it they want knots and you'll see the 2017 MKZ they went back to knobs but I prefer the Sleek styling that they have an in MKZ. You will not go wrong with a MKZ. Lincoln did a great job in this car..

We traded our A6 Audi for the MKZ hybrid and couldn't be happier. We took delivery in Arizona and after about 300 miles drove it to Minnesota. We find the seating more comfortable than the Audi but we did get the messaging seats because of my wife's back trouble. We averaged 40.2 on the trip and now at 3000 miles it is at 41. We have had two shorter trip gas fills with one at 48 and one at 44, but I have to say that we live in a rural area with a lot of 55 mph roads and we have paid close attention to acceleration and braking. I appreciate the lack of a shifter since they only connect to wires anyway. The interior is very attractive and close to the Audi's quality.

I recently purchased a new MKZ. I feel compelled to write a review after reading several negative reviews written by "professional" reviewers. Please sit down...I'm in my late 30's and traded in a relatively new Audi on the thing. Technology is truly important to some of us along with handling and a nice compliant ride. This has all the above. My Audis handled well but had none of these other qualities. Reliability is also key. I'm truly pleased with my purchase and feel that the styling is anything but cookie cutter and offers a great combination of features. Rebadged Ford.. so is Lexus....so is Acura....so is Audi.... so what!

This is my second winter owning the car. Last winter I had few issues with the power decklid not opening and closing automatically. It would still pop the trunk but my auto closing switches didn't work so i had to open and close it manually. No big deal. This winter, it wont even pop the trunk. I am locked out of the trunk of my vehicle unless I fold down the back seats and pull the emergency release. Then I had a dead battery....Once I got the vehicle started, it displayed several warnings (Service TPS, hill start not available, Service steering system) but the car was running. I realized i had a problem when I was unable to turn the steering wheel. If you live in cold climates, this is a terrible car. Everything is electric. Other than this issue, its a great car to spend time in and drive. I absolutely love it during the summer when everything works. *UPDATE* after taking the vehicle in to figure out the problem, they told me the trunk module was the cause of the draining battery. $400 to fix. After that was fixed the car hasn't had any other issues. *update 06/27/18* Car is still running great! Keep up on regular maintenance and it runs and drives great. I do think I need to get new brakes soon but no major issues this far other than the trunk module and battery issues I had last year.

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....
Great luxury for less cost.

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.

Great Great Mileage. Not as quick as pure gas models, but very good. Bought used w 18,900 miles. Orig Michelin s lasted only to 30k. Adaptive suspension is awesome! I use comfort mode driving Uber/Lyft and back axle never "bottoms out" regardless of passenger & luggage load. Backseat very comfy. I drive around town over 150 miles per weekday and average 45mpg. Electric mode is on 50% of time. Highway trips average 42mpg due to less electric mode used. Have put 70,000 miles on since purchase and runs perfectly. Only defect is one rear seatbelt latch. Wonderful car. Looks great, runs great, Comfortable. What is to not like? Update: 103,000. No problems. Remote start is the Best for winter!

Ford, and now Lincoln Motor Company will never admit it but they now offer us vehicles that drive themselves. Between the available Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assistance I have in my 2013 103A Zephyr, I'm driving with more confidence than ever. My wife and I took delivery today, we chose the Ecoboost in a FWD as we have quite the commute. She had three stipulations: Has to have the BLISS, Rear Camera and Rear Sensors that I currently have in my Fusion. I can never live without them, she stated. My only stip was the Adaptive Cruise because of our inconsistent traffic in the metro area, I easily get frustrated with the stop, start, increase speed, CONTINUED under Favorite features:

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..
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!

I bought one with Panaromic roof. Yesterday, a good friend of mine saw this car for the first time and he was in awe with that car. With that note, he was about to get off from the front passenger seat. Since the car has a lower seating and the door was far from him to hold on to, he held on to the top frame of the car with his right hand fingers over the roof that I had just opened to display. With rain coming, I decided to close it with his fingers still on. The glass roof rolled over his fingers just as tight as one can imagine. His 3 fingers are now fractured. Owners of the car with this roof, please be aware that this could happen to you or someone with you.

I haven't owned a Ford product since 1984 (to me this is more Ford than Lincoln) and have owned no American vehicles since 1996. I have been dying to come back to American cars and this was to have been the triumphant return for me. While I was wowed by the exterior design, it stops for me there. I am 6ft tall and mid fifties. I think the new average buyer's age. I bump my head every time I get in the car (roof too short). Lumbar support is poor, quality of the leather interior is not plush and comfortable (what I consider luxury is a plush interior) and I have never once gotten 40 mpg much less higher. I do not drive over 70 on the highway and am definitely not a speeder.

You have to get used to the all push button drive controls, but now I prefer it. I love the unique looks in and out. There have been a number of recalls on this car, but nothing major. Just more of an inconvenience.

This is a nice car. Definately not a family car but very stylish and comfortable for front seat passengers. The rear seats leave a bit to be desired with little or no leg room but in spite of, offers the same luxurious feel for those who can fit comfortably. The car has a sleek aerodynamic design that can create a bit of a challenge for a larger person getting in and out of the car... definately something to consider. The interior of the car overall is very nice. Not a ton of compartment space but enough for daily use. The quality and workmanship is exceptional. Definitely what I've come to expect from Lincoln. It comes with plenty of bells, whistles and technology to peak your interest for the long haul. It's good on gas and performs well when you need to hop out in traffic quickly. The interior lights on the doors, ceiling, floor and exterior light on the rear add another level of wow to the car. Its a nice cross between sport and luxury if your someone that likes a lilttle of both. Definately an eye catcher that won't dissapoint when they see you coming.

It's a large car, spacious, but outward viewing could use a re-design. The front is too low and causes problems - probably should have an autolift at speeds below 5 mph. It has a oddly placed blind spot where the driver's outside mirror sits that should be moved elsewhere. But otherwise this car is amazing and everybody mentions how beautiful it is. Get the front proximity warning.

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.

2014 MKZ 2.0 with the Reserve Group

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.
yes yes yes

I am absolutely pleased that I purchased this automobile. 5 years interest free is a nice incentive. It is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. I still learning all the bells and whistles.

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?

Disappointed in the mpg. sheet states 45mpg. Dealership rechecked 04/01/2014 for mpg and no problems found to justify why I'm only getting 34.3mpg. I'm going back to Audi,VW,Honda or Toyota. I've own these vehicles before and they live up to their build sheet. American brand name vehicles are flawed and people selling them are either more enterested in selling the car than telling the truth or they don't know enough about the product their selling. Price too high for really what your getting.

After 20 years of driving a Buick, in 2012 my husband and I bought a 2012 used MKZ with 18,000 miles. We purposely looked at Ford and Lincoln because they did not take the bail out money; and because my old Buick was the best riding car I ever owned. Two weeks ago we traded that car in on a 2014 MKZ with 22,000 miles on it. There are a lot of things I like about the 2014 over the 2012... It's much sportier looking, accessing the climate, phone, and media is much easier. Gas mileage is about the same on both cars. But that's all the good stuff I have to say. It rides like a wagon. Honestly I can't believe it has the Lincoln name on it. When I test drove the car it had General tires on it. The dealership offered to put new Michelin's on the car, but only after I made the purchase. While I didn't love the look of my 2012 Lincoln, but I sure liked how it rode. In the settings I have changed the setting from sport to comfort and I don't think it made any difference. One problem is probably the low profile tires, but I am not a fan. Two weeks in, and we are thinking about trading it. But never will I purchase another Lincoln.

Luxury car fob fails big time

Key fob falls apart and can leave you stranded. Never owned a car that had this problem. This from a car the company has the audacity to call a luxury car. I definitely do not recommend buying any Lincoln with such a piece of junk for a key fob. Try a different luxury car company. The transmission was making a noise, car was under warrantee and dealer had a two chances to fix it, did not, so I sold the car.

The mkz I owned had v6 3.7l engine. I loved it. The way it sounds and accelerated makes you love driving. I think the exterior is one of the best designs of that year. It was just so unique and elegant that I knew I had to have this auto first I saw it at the ford dealership. The car I owned was certified pre owned but flawless outside and inside. But there were few annoying problems I have to mention. Dashboard rattle. I had it on fusion with which mkz shares many parts. But the most annoying thing my local ford dealer couldn't fix was the outside rattle at high speed. On addition, a number started to show a discoloration just after 2 years of use. I will not buy another of your cars, Lincoln, even though I loved this car. The quality to price ratio is not acceptable at the price this car is sold right now.
