The 4 cylinder needs twenty more horsepower. Purchase the six cylinder if you can. Transmission is smoother than I expected. Love the style of the vehicle. The seats are very comfortable but the car is kind of narrow from left to right on leg room. Overall I’m very happy with the car.

I was Prepared To Be Amazed But I Was Bamboozled

2017 Lincoln MKZ Reserve 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

To be fair, I was comparing this to the Mercedes E350, Cadillac CTS4, Audi A6 and a BMW 5 series. In my subjective testing of 15-30 minute test drives, each of these cars led or tied a category...The Lincoln was never a serious contender in any category. Cheap interior materials. A $1000+ top-of-the-line sound system that you swear is old fashioned boomboxes stuffed into the door panels. Significant squat upon moderate braking. Confidence un-inspiring body roll in curves. Over-boosted steering. At least they finally got the exterior styling correct as the new grill is beautiful. Significant road noise, could be the tires. I so wanted to like this car, and kept telling myself it stickered $15-$25,000 less than the others, but even at that price point I wouldn't pull the trigger as there are many other options in that price range that offer an engaging driving experience.
