Good car, excellent car company
I am quite pleased with this automobile. I love the technology features such as lane assist, active cruise control, reversing camera, lane departure warning, and (surprisingly) rain sensing wipers. I love the multi contour active motion seats. My only two complaints are one major, the electric power steering is well weighted, has good turn in, etc. but does not have enough road feel. I understand this is true of all EPS including the cars I have driven that have it. (It is much better than a 2015 Toyota Camry that I rented this year.) The second is less of a problem and that is there needs to be more non-touch screen controls for the HVAC. Finally, I have been very impressed with Lincoln Motor Company. They are very responsive and after I brought to their attention that I thought the car took much longer to build than I think it should have, they gave me a 100,000 mile warranty. I have found that “company care” is very important for an expensive and complex device such as this one. Good job! Since Ford Motor Company announced no more sales of cars in the US save for the Mustang the resale value has plummeted.

Trade in value similar to a compact Ford Focus
Shopper you need to be aware of the trade in value of this car. We purchased the MKZ about 7 months ago and wanted to trade it on for SUV. This cars value dropped from MSRP of 42,000 to 22000 trade in value. This is not just from the dealer where we tried to trade, but actually we couldn't find a Lincoln dealer that displayed any interest in trading for this car. KBB list the car with a ver low trade in value. If you plan to drive the car you're fine, but if you trade often stay away!

I STILL Love My MKZ!
Updated Review Six months later and all I can say is I love my MKZ even more! Initial Review Cars are emotional purchases. You have to form an attachment. But there are rational reasons that make us select the cars we love. My attachment to the MKZ starts with its lines. I believe the MKZ's design will age well. The interior is smooth, elegant and user friendly, rich with wood and leather. My MKZ includes the Tech Package and I have all the features engaged. I love the adaptive cruise, which works so well and so smooth that it like all the Tech pack features make me a better driver. I'm infatuated by technology in vehicles and that's why I love the Park Assist. I could go on. But let me end by saying that I have owned Buick's, BMW's, Cadillac's, a Lexus and several Mercedes Benz's yet I am most proud of this emotional purchase for the rational reasons I layed out. It has the best of all the things I require in a car including the "convenient luxury" and ownership experience of a Lincoln. Check one out. I think you'll agree.

Improvements badly needed!
It is a nice looking car, but it has multiple shortcomings. Six cylinder engine does not have massive torque and it is thirsty. Transmission is not particularly smooth and holds high RPM at highway speeds, which contributes to a high fuel consumption. Steering is not intuitive and steering wheel is hard to turn. Headlights are LED, but lighting perimeter is short and dark. Touch sensitive screen controls are slow to respond. Navigation screen has 2-4 seconds delay, while changing scenes. Though I just drove 1100 miles, I've been in the dealership multiple times for rattles and vibrations. Quality of interior materials are left to be desired. Leather on the seats bubbles and finger prints are easily shown everywhere, including navigation screen. Cooled seats only cool bottom cushion, but not seat back. Dealership said it is normal. It takes 15 minutes for the heated seats to start operating. THX audio system is a big disappointment. No matter what setting you choose, it sounds dull and subdued.

One Sweet Ride
Best value and performance I could find in the market... And I did a ton of research. You have to test drive one. The car sold itself.
