Not my father's Lincoln

A few years ago, I decided I wanted a hybrid, and I started looking into the various types. I decided I like the way Ford did it, and I found a good deal on a used Mercury Milan. I liked that car so much, when it came time for another one I decided I wanted another Ford - with features. Adaptive cruise was important, rear camera, blind spot monitoring, parking sensors, lane keep assist - these were all things I knew I wanted. Oh, and leather upholstery. And a good stereo system. I looked and Ford didn't have it, at least under the Ford badge. But Lincoln did. After a few months of searching I found an off-lease Lincoln MKZ with Reserve package, Technology package, THX sound system, and for good measure the seats with Active Motion (a massage feature). As a 2016, buying in 2017, I paid about half the price new, and I got it as a Lincoln CPO, which extended the warranty to 100K miles. I've had it for several weeks now, and I love this car. It's rated at 41mpg, I'm getting about 43 on my commute. It's comfortable, it makes my drive less stressful, the ride is smooth enough to relax, yet taut enough to give handling confidence, and I'm so glad I bought it. I've only played with the seat massage a few times, but on long trips when my legs start to cramp up, this will be exactly what I need. Good job, Lincoln.

Crazy 'bout the mkz

I love mycar, a 2016 lincoln mkz hybrid. And now in 2019 I am still just as happy. It is comfy, easy to drive, sips gas and, best of all, I have been averaging 41 mpg!! It also looks great and has an awesome panoramic sunroof. Its been in the 80's - 90's this summer, so the cooled seats and ac have come in handy and work great. There are plenty of cup holders and places for storage. The only drawback is that it sits quite low to the ground, not a problem for driving but can be an issue for parking. If you come too far forward you may scrape the bottom of the front on the concrete stopper or sidewalk in front of you. The trunk is a little small, but its fine for day to day commuting and grocery shopping. Stereo system and touch screen are easy to use. My hubby is 6'4" and he fits in the car great- plenty of room in the back for our teens too. The Ogden Lincoln dealership in Westmont was great to work with. I still couldn't be happier.

Body style was the most important feature. Opening the door and getting in. The seats are the most comfortable l ever sat in. It's quiet and the AC works well. When it comes time to buying another car, Lincoln will be the car l will pick. As compared to Cadillac, l would choose Lincoln hands down.

The beast

love this new 2016 mkz hybrid. It's a big, luxurious beast of a sedan that gets 39.2 mpg consistently. I do about 62 miles each way commute each day and wanted to upgrade in ride from my Toyota Prius. Boy is this an upgrade! Total luxury top to bottom , lumbar seat adjustable, which is key now that I'm in my 50s and the back has gotten weaker over the years. I used to be in pain from the Prius seats with this long commute, not any more! I'm really enjoying this car. It's way more car then I could've afforded in a mercedes, Audi or Lexus. I had an Audi. A6 that we purchase used, this Lincoln is comperable but better. I love the touch screen controls, am not a tech person at all, so I don't understand the issues people say they have with it. Love the car.

I had a 2013 MKZh and liked it so much that I purchased a 2016 . The car gives you a stylish super comfortable ride that gets 39 mpg on regular gas . Update at 06/27/2019 , car is still great at 26000 , every time I get in I feel good about where ever I am going . No problems with electronics , body or anything , getting ready to put synthetic finish on it called " The Last Coat " .
