2017 Lincoln MKZ 3.0

2017 Lincoln MKZ Premiere 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

This review is for a Lincoln MKZ 3.0. Has 6 cylinders. 400 HP. AWD. The model section for the review does not have this option. Needed a second car and wanted to try something new. Wanted to go the used route for the second car. Looked at various sedans and chose the MKZ. Very happy with this vehicle. Extremely fun to drive. The 400 horses is a BLAST. I do not recall seeing another vehicle in this class with the same power or more. Very fast, responsive. Interior is nice, but not extravagant. Navigation, entertainment is very nice. Easy to use and informative. Very, very happy with this vehicle.

Research the different selections of models first (Premiere, Select, Reserve, Black Label) Car looks sleek and fast even when parked! Dealer was first class all the way thru delivery.

Great Car

I am only a week in but took a 6 hour trip yesterday and i felt and drove like a Lincoln. I have had 3. A towncar in 2000, a continental in 2002 and now an MKZ. My happiness with the car will grow a lot when I learn how to use all the bells and whistles. the blue tooth and phone features are top shelf and to my surprise the garage door opened after my first try at programing it. This car feels very similar to my Continental. Even with the 4 cyl motor it performs like it too. I really like the Bentley style grill. I think I will be happy with this car. The dealer experience (Island Lincoln in Merritt Island, Fl) was very easy to deal with and helpful. I like the Owners clubs

MKZ

The 4 cylinder needs twenty more horsepower. Purchase the six cylinder if you can. Transmission is smoother than I expected. Love the style of the vehicle. The seats are very comfortable but the car is kind of narrow from left to right on leg room. Overall I’m very happy with the car.

I was Prepared To Be Amazed But I Was Bamboozled

To be fair, I was comparing this to the Mercedes E350, Cadillac CTS4, Audi A6 and a BMW 5 series. In my subjective testing of 15-30 minute test drives, each of these cars led or tied a category...The Lincoln was never a serious contender in any category. Cheap interior materials. A $1000+ top-of-the-line sound system that you swear is old fashioned boomboxes stuffed into the door panels. Significant squat upon moderate braking. Confidence un-inspiring body roll in curves. Over-boosted steering. At least they finally got the exterior styling correct as the new grill is beautiful. Significant road noise, could be the tires. I so wanted to like this car, and kept telling myself it stickered $15-$25,000 less than the others, but even at that price point I wouldn't pull the trigger as there are many other options in that price range that offer an engaging driving experience.

Lincoln MKZ In a Ford body.

I loved the styling of the MKZ but the dealer was not in a convenient location. I chose the 2017 Fusion Platinum, listed at $41,200. It is the MKZ in a much less prestigious Ford body. Writing this review as the pluses and minuses are identical to the MKZ. Entering third year of ownership. Window bounceback issue fixed quickly. No other issues. Parking assist gets me within about 6 inches from the curb every time. An older driver, I have neck problems and it is a lifesaver. AWD with 19 inch low profile tires hold slippery roads perfectly. Adaptive cruise control is a great safety feature. Plush leather interior with walnut trim. The Fusion Platinum biggest engine is the standard 2.0 turbo. The 400 HP must be nice.

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.
