Stylish And Efficient, The MKZ Does It All

2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Select 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I ordered the 2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Select Plus in Magnetic Gray Metallic with a Cappuccino interior. Wow. This car is a real looker inside and out. The car's already sleek lines accentuate the new-for-2017 front-end. The little delights like the front LEDs turning on and off in sequence and the large Lincoln logo that projects from the outside mirrors onto the ground just outside the doors as you approach show some serious attention to detail. The wood trim is real and the grain looks great. The quality materials of the dash and the swoop of the instrument panel whisper "luxury." This car wooshes along serenely and delivers some whopping gas mileage. Before heading over to the Euro dealers, stop by your local Lincoln dealer. I never thought I would ever utter such words, but I am smitten.

2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Premiere 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

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.

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.

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.

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!
