What a fantastic vehicle, for the price too. Unbelievable. Love the car, my salesman is Orson Van Gay at Galpin Lincoln...definitely great person to go to if you are in the market for this car. I love this car.

My Fantasy Failed! I'm Going Back To Cadillac!

Update: 70k Exceptionally serviced and maintained miles... Lincoln has lost my loyalty for many years to come, if not forever. MKZ was rapidly going downhill. Transmission slammed when quickly accelerating, suspension had gone to hell and cabin became gas chamber when accelerating over 50 mph. After two years of wanting one, followed by two years owning one I have never been so disappointed by a car; yet so relieved to have gotten rid of it. We traded it in for Jaguar XJL and couldn’t be happier, except for the trade in allowance. It was three/four years old, was a loaded high end model, performance 6 cylinder and in excellent condition; yet trade in value was only $6k. Previous review: Our car is a 6 cyl AWD but it was not an option on the drop down menu. After a year of wanting it we purchased it with 20k and at about 9 months old, to avoid massive depreciation of a new car. At 35k it has now been in the Service Dept three times. 1) Replace Heads 2) Replace most of the transmission 3) Computer and additional engine work (weeks after #2). The exterior and interior design of the car is very nice. The front cabin is ok for a luxury sports car. The technology is already obsolete which really angers me. The mechanics of the car infuriates me! When accelerating and idling we get gassed with exhaust fumes. I will be going back to Cadillac.
