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.

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!

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.

Love My MKZ Hybrid

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.

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.
