Audiophile system??

Bought the fully loaded 2017 3.0TT with tech, driver, and any other packages that were available. PERFORMANCE is outstanding with 19” A/S tires and custom wheels. HANDLING is also extremely good, and I use the Comfort and Normal modes most often. HOWEVER…… after looking for a vehicle with the upgraded Revel audio system, I remain amazed that they would sell ANY vehicle with such a crappy sound! The satellite input is so bad I discontinued it. After 4 service calls (where the head MKZ tech admitted the sound just “isn’t right “, I spoke to a Lincoln design engineer in Michigan who told me what COULD be the truth. He said the 20speaker Revel Optima System was tuned for the Lincoln SUV line of vehicles, and that software updates have not been successful addressing the weak bass and upper frequencies, especially in the 200-600, and above 1,500ranges. And in short— too bad for me. I have found myself preferring to drive in silence rather than suffer with the brassy sound system! Again, other than this complaint I REALLY enjoy driving this 2017 Lincoln Reserve. Sticker was around $60k when new.

I own a 2017 MKZ. The hood has blisters and chipping paint peeling. Obviously there was no primer on it before painting and this is the end results. Lincoln refuses to take responsibility for their shoddy work. They also have known about this defect for years.

MKZ Rocket

I love this car. The 3.0 FWD is a rocket. It wouldn't handle the 3.5 in a FWD. The only issue I have is my apple phone linking into the car. I haven't sat down and studied it that much, but it not that easy to link up.

Not sure who has failed more - Lincoln or the dealer. The car is a mess - a myriad of rattles, knocks, sluggish performance, and scary electrical problems (eg, the car will sometimes not recognize the key/the dashboard will go black and visibly “reboot”/the radio will start to play on its own/etc). The dealer plays the “unless it happens while I’m looking at it, we won’t try to find and fix it.” Video evidence doesn’t count. After completing an unsolicited opinion survey from Lincoln, the dealer took offense and refuses to service the vehicle. Called Lincoln, their response was “sucks to be you....the dealers are independent, they can do what they want.” Purchasing this vehicle is one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. We are thrilled with a 2014 MKX that we own, but will never buy Lincoln again.

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.
