I cannot understand the critics.. interior is NOT the cheap looking space they claim.. I am very happy with my new baby!.. driving in pouring rain, the headlights do cut thru and give you good sight.. the headlights turn as you are turning and follow the path.. the outside mirrors are coated and seem to cut the glare of the headlights following.. Take a little time and the 4 quads of My Lincoln Touch... is NOT the bad thing that the critics complain about.. Overall this car is fun to drive and a nice looking vehicle.. It's about as much a comparison to a Fusion as the Lexus are to the Camry.. Now after owning it for a year I still like it..in bad weather, the LED headlights really cute thru..the cooled seats are great and preconditioning it is nice in cold and hot weather

I took delivery in October 2015 of my new Lincoln MKZ and have never, ever been so delighted with a new car. I decided on the 2.0 turbo and it's quick. The car acts like a stallion that wants to run fast....and it often takes restraint on my part to watch my speed. You don't realize how fast you are going since the car is quiet and so smooth. I particularly love the Push Button Shift selection, which eliminates the cumbersome shifter all other vehicles have. Also love the sliding volume and temperature controls. After driving the Dodge Charger and it's obstructed front view I was so impressed with the MKZ panoramic front view. I also love the cool LED taillights...much more suttle than the GLARING Dodge Charger rear lights. Lincoln sold me on this car. It's a car that makes you want to drive it all the time. In closing, I highly recommend shoppers to test drive this car. Outstanding car to drive/own. (UPDATE) Unfortunately, my daughter "borrowed" my car and hours later smashed the front end resulting in extensive repairs. !!😵

I have had 4 MKZ's in a row and that should tell you that "overall" I was pretty pleased with the car. As they continued to improved, I continued to try the next version. First, the good stuff! 1//// Runs on regular gas. 2//// I can't say enough about that 4 cyl. ecoboost engine. My previous 3 had v6 3.7, so I was expecting an egg beater similar to some 4 cyl Volvo's I had tried. THAT ENGINE is incredibly quiet, quick and smooth. I can be going 70 and kick it and be at 95 in a flash. Really a marvelous engine. 3//// The quick fill gas tank that has no cap to unscrew...you'll LOVE it. 4///// Seats are better-than-average-comfortable but still not to die for like some of the Euro's. 5/////// Unlike the heavy iron Euros I've had in the past from Germany and England (at the time), the wheels don't get black from brake dust. 6////// The fold down rear seats have come in handy many times. 7///////// A lot of car people trashed the split wing grill but I'll tell ya, I've had more than a few tell me they like it a lot. HELL, if ya wanna trash a front end, look at whatever it is LEXUS is doing! Downright UGLY. I don't mind it all but if it were true chrome it may have added some sparkle. I DO like it better than the 2017 grill because that grill looks more like an old time heating regulator you'd find in old houses to let heat rise up from below. HOWEVER, from a 45 degree angle it looks REALLY good, head-on though, it's just doesn't look "refined". Surprised they didn't dress it up more in the Continental. 8/// The 4 cyl is pretty fuel efficient and I don't miss the 6 cyl at all and yes, I do have a heavy foot at times. 9///// It just runs well and drives just fine for a sedan. OKAY NOW FOR SOME OF THE BAD STUFF. 1///// The look of the dash etc. is just fine and kinda cool as well......BUT............THE NAV SCREEN (et al.) needs to be set in and angled to prevent sunlight glare. Mid-Day in Florida where the sun shines 350 days a year? Forget about it, you can barely see it at max lumination settings. Also, by sticking out at the angle it's on, it shows ALL FINGERPRINTS and you'll be wiping that screen continuously. Looks crappy. It needs to be set back with a hood and maybe angled more vertically. 2//////They did away with sync for life of car so it expires after 6 months. It's nice to have but not worth the extra money in my opinion. They're my two biggest gripes and that screen the biggest. I'm told there might be some interesting changes coming in 2018 and if some issues are addressed then, I'll probably get another. Otherwise, it's off to Europe again.

I Am Now Known As Mr MKZ

I took delivery of my 2016 MKZ in October and had my plates personalized as MR MKZ. I cannot express how wonderful this car rides and performs. I turn heads in my neighborhood (full of foreign cars) and are often asked who makes this car. I cannot think of one thing negative about this car. I did notice this car wants to run fast and often realize I'm driving faster than it seems. Kudos to Lincoln on a superior ride. I did opt for the 19 inch wheels since I think it gives the car a nice profile. 5 stars + Totally satisfied customer!!

What a value for a delightul experience

I bought my MkZ a month ago. It is delightful; the experience at the dealership, the car itself, the little touches that provide an experience of specialness combine to deliver the most impressive auto ownership experience I have had in nearly forty years of new car ownership. The MkZ is not a BMW, it is an American luxury experience that brings forward design and experiential elements going back more than forty years. The MkZ is unique in that it can be calibrated to ride and handle like a classic Town Car, or a responsive mid-sized car, or something in between. My MkZ is a Black Label, which is probably the best luxury/premium value in the marketplace between the unique trim like the Mark IV and V series of the late 1970s and additional services that no other luxury brand offers. Those few reviews that I've seen complain about the MkZ that it isn't a BMW - what a boring place this would be if every choice were the same. The MkZ gives the buyer who finds its qualities to be pleasing a blend of traditional American luxury, handling, and unique styling. Fully loaded, it's an absolute bargain as compared to its entire field of competition and the dealer experience is the best in the industry. My car has the 3.7L V6 FWD - Edmunds didn't offer that combination
