Bought the fully loaded 2017 3.0TT with tech, driver, and any other packages that were available. PERFORMANCE is outstanding with 19” A/S tires and custom wheels. HANDLING is also extremely good, and I use the Comfort and Normal modes most often. HOWEVER…… after looking for a vehicle with the upgraded Revel audio system, I remain amazed that they would sell ANY vehicle with such a crappy sound! The satellite input is so bad I discontinued it. After 4 service calls (where the head MKZ tech admitted the sound just “isn’t right “, I spoke to a Lincoln design engineer in Michigan who told me what COULD be the truth. He said the 20speaker Revel Optima System was tuned for the Lincoln SUV line of vehicles, and that software updates have not been successful addressing the weak bass and upper frequencies, especially in the 200-600, and above 1,500ranges. And in short— too bad for me. I have found myself preferring to drive in silence rather than suffer with the brassy sound system! Again, other than this complaint I REALLY enjoy driving this 2017 Lincoln Reserve. Sticker was around $60k when new.

ANEMIC---got better

Good looking , nice graphics, and that’s it the engine and transmission is the worst I have driven in modern times—under powered- loud engine, cvt is anemic and hardly any downshift-- the most disappointing in power, ride is satisfactory but and appointments-lighting is great—the “leather” is awful- and way to light for every day use. Soon car manufactures will make only 1-2 interiors black and light and light will be filthy in a week-neither are for real uses. Avg 36 MPG after 6 months i areally got used to the car-- the small engine can be helped in acceleartiona nd power and feel of speed by movign the seat closer to the pedlas -- rally -- it feels much better and not slow --still labors the engine but expected fro less than 200hp-- i love it now- had to get used to it and still average 36mpg on regular-i would buy anohter - but they may not build it--and suv dont get this kind of mileage so i will stick with it - also the all electric is not fro me - adn way toooo expensive---bought this new new car under $37,000 with crosstraffic and blind spot mirror-- a great deal

Exterior fit and function

The body fits/part to part or seams is shamefully poor, they vary from 1/16" to 1/4" Parked side by side to my Hyundai ( whose gaps do not vary more .010) Lincoln should be ashamed. Where is your Quality control? With digital drafting, manufacturing and QC I am surprised the parts go together at all. Look at rocker panel to front quarter panel. I spent 50 years as a Certified Manufacturing Engineer and feel I am qualified to this critiquing. I would be very glad to meet and talk with Lincoln's engineer and sales personal and perhaps help to improve Lincoln's image. I had my MKZ back to the dealer twice and found that all units are alike. ( Betcha you won't answer this) Signed, Dallas Barteau [contact info removed].

The car is beautiful inside and out . Ride is superior, as is steering and brakes. The anti collision feature is worthless. Does not slow down or stop until within a foot of obstacle. Should work as well as braking for cruise control.

Pretty much everything about this car is great. I got it for the comfort and fuel efficiency, and while the acceleration is a bit underwhelming, it's worth it to save gas. BUT the stereo sounds AWFUL. Sounds like it's going through a tin can. I've adjusted and adjusted and can't get it right. It's one of the worst stereos I've ever heard...so sad considering how great the car is otherwise.

You do not get a front plate frame when you buy a 2017 Lincoln mkZ Reserve if you live in a one plate state. So what do you do with your vanity plate? Or move? UPDATE: The dealer has installed a front license plate frame. I am a happy camper. Thank you Mr. dealer'

I've driven my Lincoln for 3 1/2 years and have 32,000 miles on it.Nearing the end of my lease I drove many other cars and decided I'd be better off buying out my lease. Service has been great. I live 20-25 miles from the dealer. Lincoln offers to drive to your home, pickup your car in for service, give you a loner, then reverse the process.

Bought this car used in April of 22 and would buy it again. It has been reliable and a pleasure to drive. It handles well, gets good mileage, has an amazing full retractable sun roof, and its interior is well designed with an excellent stereo system. If you don't need the size of an SUV, this is definitely a car to consider.

It is a step up from Ford, at this mileage and time I shall reserve my judgment.. Now a year and 10k later. Decent ride, 24.8 mpg from 2.0l Turbo in mixed driving up to 30.0mpg on trips. TPMS is a pain to keep tires properly inflated due to temp changes, paint is marginal and chips easily. Interior quality good. Dependent on the weather seems to shift roughly but that is opinion based remark as I have been driving CVT transmissions for 14 years. Overall I stick with my original review. No electrical problems like prior Lincoln's.
