This car is the 3.0t AWD Version, and is Diamond Black, has the driver's, technology, and climate packages. Also included are the panoramic sunroof, massage seats and the $1,080 stereo system. With a MSRP total well above $56,000, I was a bit reluctant to make the move. Bought it anyway. A perfectly amazing "Hot Rod Lincoln". 0-60 = 4.6 seconds. Back in the day (early to mid-fifties), Lincoln ruled the stock car racing circuit; today, this car would be a major contender. It is an amazing set of wheels. Very quiet and peppy in "D", but just roars in "S". Value for money is exceptional. Out does many BMW's, Audis, and Mercedes in performance, and certainly price. All things considered, this car is very much worthy of your consideration. Performance is unparalleled! July 2018: It just gets better! - Further on my initial review and update: I failed to mention that the OEM Michelin tires are awful! Totally inadequate for the car's power and sophisticated technology. I switched to Perelli P-Zero summer tires (slightly up-sized to 255/40R19 100V XL), and the change is remarkable; no wheel spin, and much less torque steer. I use Perelli winter Sottozero 3 between October - March. I chose the P-Zeros because my 2015 Mustang was delivered with them, and they are outstanding albeit expensive. If you have the 3.0 AWD, its well worth the money to upgrade your tires! ...and if you live where it snows, winter tires are a huge plus. January 2019: Continue to be very pleased with this large "mid-size" sedan. It is comfortable and handles extremely competently. Mileage has improved to 20 mpg from 18. Routine maintenance is the only cost incurred to date. No warranty work has been required. August 2019: No change. The car was very competent in last winter's inclement weather. January 2020: Nothing new to report. No major technological advances to prompt anything new at this time. Appearance still turns heads! August 2020: A keeper; bought an extended warranty from Ford Motor Co.

Update : 92k miles and still the best car. Still no major rattles or anything. Only thing I’ve noticed is a slight fast chick chick chick noise at highway speeds from wind. But it is a great car! Trying to find where that sound is coming from. I bought my Hybrid Premiere in 2017, and have loved this car. I've owned BMWs, Corvettes, Hondas, Fords, Toyotas, IOW a lot of trucks & cars, and still, LOVE & OWN this car. I have 70k miles on it, and the only issue I had was a passenger side window would bounce down after closing which the dealer took care of no problem. My mileage for my 80 mile commute has been excellent, lowest was 37 reading on the dash, but majority of the time I'm going 75 on the highway. As far as dealership experiences, nothing but the best to say. Reading some of these 1-2 star reviews, and how the person constructs their review, says more about that person, than it does the story about their dealership. Which are you to believe? I can only vouch for myself :) and I've nothing bad to say about my years with my Lincoln.

I own the 2017 Lincoln MKZ Reserve with the Technology package. It retailed for $45,000. The twin turbo 4 cyl is fast and I average 25 MPG. It is black velvet with the optional rims. The Revel sound system surpasses anything I have ever heard in car audio. The technology is easy and after 6 months of use, it has worked flawlessly. If you plug in your phone to the USB port, you never pick it up while driving...the car does everything for you including read and respond to your texts messages and play any song on Apple itunes. All you do say the title of the song. I have had a lot of fun going back into the 1980's and 1990's music. Front seats are very adjustable. It lacks the comfort of the Towncar which I previously owned. Stirring wheel is telescopic. Ambient lighting at night is cool- kids especially love it. When you approach the car at night, it lights up all around and shines the Lincoln welcome mat down on the ground on each side of the car. Rain sensor and blind spot protection are great! The cruise is interactive...and I will never go back to regular cruise control. The pedestrian warning system as activated several times and it makes me feel safe. People around town stop me so they can look at this beautiful car. It gets attention. Real wood trim too and LED lights are beautiful. And the 2017 MKZ along with the Audi A4 are the quietest cars on the road this year. It has noise cancellation system...so very quiet even at 80MPH. I got the Terracotta seats and they really stand out against the black trim and enhance the walnut wood trim. Im at 42,000 miles. It has only had oil changes and one alignment and new tires. It runs without a flaw. It is smooth and very quiet on the road. Its 2021 now. This car still looks good and runs like its new. No issues at all. Its fast. It handles good. It gets looks and comments. All the technology works great.

Lemon Alert!!! 2017 Lincoln MKZ Reserve Hybrid

We've had this car 3 months and have brought it back to be serviced 5 times. The car wouldn't start 2 times and needed roadside assistance to jump the battery. The stereo sounds great, but Sirius drops channels frequently even in well populated areas with great satellite visibility. The rear cabin light has a weird flicker/pulsating condition. Every time we bring it to the dealer for service they say they can't duplicate the problem. I took a video of the flickering light and they said that's the way it works. That's the way it works???? A $55,000+ car that has lost charge twice and has a flickering interior light sure sounds like an electrical problem to me. They replaced my new car's battery yesterday, now it's a wait and see game. Other than that, Lincoln said they can't help me. I've never had such an experience with a new car ....ever. Now, I know why so many people buy foreign cars.
Name, style and comfort

Comfortable ride, distinctive styling, and new technology. The best thing i like about the car is that control it gives you. Even on rough roads or fast lanes the car gives outstanding feeling of being in control. It is a very well balance and state of art.
