Great value, extremely happy with all of the options that came with the car we purchased at a great price. The seats are super comfy and very easy to relax and rest in during a long ride.

Smooth, very quiet ride, responsive handling, exceptionally comfortable seating, safety features galore, loads of creature comforts ... a huge bang for the buck. It's an outstanding value in the entry-level luxury car field as it stands... but I purchased a dealer's service loaner with a few thousand miles on it, saving a nice chunk of change. It looks, performs and even smells like a new car. To top it off, the 2.0 turbo runs on regular gas! There's also the bonus of owning a vehicle made in the US by union labor. If there's any drawback, it could use a bit more power when accelerating, but it's hardly a concern, given all the positives. As a previous owner of foreign luxury vehicles, I'm glad I made the decision I did. UPDATE: Six months' ownership, and nothing has changed ... great car. The infotainment system is outstanding and very user-friendly, especially the navigation. Living in Texas, with its triple-digit summers, the air-conditioned (not just ventilated) seats are a blessing ... and not even available on much of the competition. Generally speaking, you'd have to shell out another ten grand to own a similar vehicle ... and just about all other 2.0 turbos require premium fuel. Yep, this one's definitely a keeper.

Traded in my Lexus LS430. Pros: Best bang for your dollar, great smooth ride, sexy exterior and interior styling, technology second to none. Cons: cheap interior leather, lacks leg room in rear, sound system is subpar for luxury car.

I love this car. The 3.0 FWD is a rocket. It wouldn't handle the 3.5 in a FWD. The only issue I have is my apple phone linking into the car. I haven't sat down and studied it that much, but it not that easy to link up.

My second MKZ

This is a great car, my second one. The first being a 2015. While some people don't like the push button shifters, I think that not only is it unique, it frees up space in the center console providing a smooth flow of the controls. Gone are the confusing touch-sliders from 2015. While still powerful, the 2015 engine seemed to run and shift smoother. And I especially like the Lincoln Experience. Overall, Lincoln has another winner. Highly recommended!

Audiophile system??

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.

I own a 2017 MKZ. The hood has blisters and chipping paint peeling. Obviously there was no primer on it before painting and this is the end results. Lincoln refuses to take responsibility for their shoddy work. They also have known about this defect for years.
A Lot of Car For The $$$

I am totally enjoying getting 40MPG's and still able to drive a true luxury car! I get a lot of looks and questions, all good! I have the White Platinum paint with the all dark glass roof and the upgraded pocket wheels. Very hot looking! Love all luxury the features and appointments. The massaging seats are really cool and nice on long drives. Downsides are that the voice recognition does not recognize about half of my address book which is very frustrating when driving and wish that worked better. Also the sound system is just "OK". I expected to be "Wowed" by a great sound system but it is not to be. Our other car is a Kia Soul and its sound system is much better! That said, we are very happy with our MKZ overall and feel it is a sharp well built machine. Also very good value for all you get. We hope Lincoln will improve on the few shortfalls mentioned as we feel we would most likely buy another MKZ in the future! A little more head and leg room would be nice too. If Lincoln would make the Continental in a Hybrid, I would buy one!

Not sure who has failed more - Lincoln or the dealer. The car is a mess - a myriad of rattles, knocks, sluggish performance, and scary electrical problems (eg, the car will sometimes not recognize the key/the dashboard will go black and visibly “reboot”/the radio will start to play on its own/etc). The dealer plays the “unless it happens while I’m looking at it, we won’t try to find and fix it.” Video evidence doesn’t count. After completing an unsolicited opinion survey from Lincoln, the dealer took offense and refuses to service the vehicle. Called Lincoln, their response was “sucks to be you....the dealers are independent, they can do what they want.” Purchasing this vehicle is one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. We are thrilled with a 2014 MKX that we own, but will never buy Lincoln again.

I have been leasing the car for over 2years. Car is beautiful, stylish, and overall a great drive. I will be buying it soon because I cannot find something that will replace it at the same price and I do not want to lose on the known comfort this car provides.
