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.

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!

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.
