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].

2017 MKZ Best looking car in its class

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.

Love the car hate the speakers

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.

Front License Plate Frame

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'

Liked it enough to buyout my lease

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.
