1. MKZ Hybrid is advertised as getting 40+ mpg city/highway. I promise you it will never, ever do that. The best my wife and I ever get is 36.6. Our average is between 30 and 35. So don't be fooled by the salesman. 2. The style is actually incredible. We both love the look and feel of the interior. The outside is pretty sleek as well, but the "white" version is not a true white - more of a pearlescent white. 3. At a full tank the dash reads 500 miles to empty, give or take some. We get maybe 350 miles before we have to actually fill up, so do not be fooled into thinking that a brand new car is any more advanced than its predecessors. My old pickup truck is more accurate in fuel estimation. 4. Here's the biggest freaking problem we had with this car: It has had 2 mechanical repairs and 1 fuel efficiency evaluation done on it since we drove it off the lot a few months ago. The dealership in Stockton put up a huge fuss about how this couldn't be really happening, it never happens to these cars, and we must be mistaken. Well we were not mistaken. A fuel fumes leak was repaired, a purge valve was replaced, and we insisted they give us an extra 10,000 miles on the lease because of the incredible disappointment this car has been for us. It will not get the amazing gas mileage promised, it has a very slow and low performing engine, there is minimal trunk space, and our dealership (even though they make it seem like Lincoln owners get treated SO much better) treated us like trash. I am not kidding when I say that I had to call them countless time to even get an answer on our problems. It was a full-scale disaster. My suggestion: buy Ford Fusion hybrid if you want the American made car. It's the same engine system as the MKZ Hybrid and its like 30% cheaper! Don't fork out big money for something that doesn't deserve it and won't earn it.

Devoted Lincoln MKZ owner - 6 so far (between the Mark VIII, the Zephyr and the MKZs) but this is, BY FAR, the best one yet. Strong, sure-footed and wicked to drive. Feels like a fighter jet when you sit in it; the climate control / remote start is the best improvement I've found (so far). I have NO complaints and everyone who's seen/ridden in the car are blown away. Quiet - luxurious fit & finish. VERY happy with my purchase - GOOD LUCK!

First of all, I own a 3.7 V-6, which was not given as one of the options on this page, so I entered the 2.0 option. I bought the car pre-owned (almost new, with 8k miles) and saved almost $20,000 in the process. My first impressions were very negative, but I've reconsidered them after living with the vehicle a couple of weeks. 1. The ergonomics are OK even though I'd like to see less of a drop from the seat level to the feet space. 2. Electronic controls were a pain in the beginning, and it takes a while to get used to them. They are not as responsive as manual controls, and sometimes they're over-responsive, depending on their mood. Why do manufacturers think that everything high-tech and automated is better when it's not? However, once you set everything up according to your preference, you can forget about them. 3. The car flies, especially in the sport mode. It has effortless acceleration and a beautiful V-6 sound. 4. I drained the battery when I first brought it home since I didn't know how to properly lock the car. You press the lock sign twice until you hear the sound. That kills all the lights after a few seconds. Make sure you check visually that all the light are off. I will probably consider buying another MKZ in a couple of years since the 2017 V-6 versions have 350 and 400 hp respectively and since both have twin-turbos. The 400 hp version is AWD to boot. Of course, it depends on whether I can get as good a deal on a pre-owned one as my current MKZ.

Trying too hard

Beautiful and unique exterior. Luxurious interior. Quality of interior materials still not up to the Lexus ES standard. Very quiet when cruising, but unpleasant engine noise on acceleration, and does not accelerate nearly as well as the Lexus ES hybrid. Electronics do all the things you'd like, if you can figure out how to use them. Excessively non-intuituve inputs for simple commands. The drivetrain and the design of the electronics interface need work. What's wrong with simple buttons and knobs? Back seat is hard. Still a tempting car with it's comfort and appearance.
