Makes me smile

This car is refreshingly styled. It is quiet, capable and well mannered. The interior is very well put together and inviting. It is not an appliance like most Japanese competitors seemed to never have gotten past. This car is a gem that puts a smile on my face every time I look at it. It makes me feel good to dive it no matter what kind of day I have had. This is truly a luxury vehicle, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Anyone looking for a vehicle in this class should give the MKZ a tryout.

400 HP with AWD - How bad can it be?

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.

Will own for 200K or more

Absolutely the best car I've ever owned. It's my first 'luxe' car, but compared to the others (like Cadillac and Tesla), I was thrilled and still am everytime I get into the car. Favorite feature is the interior and heated steering wheel. There are two cars I will always remember. My first car, and my first Lincoln.
