DONT BUY ONE!!, Oh and heated seats don't work either and yes I checked the fuse. One day ford might make something worthy.😡😡

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.

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.

This is as wicked a car as it gets!

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!
