2017 Lincoln MKZ Black Label 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful
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.

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.

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.

What a car!!!! I picked up my 2018 with 20,000 miles on it. It is a Reserve and the only options it doesn't have is the panoramic sunroof and the massaging seats. I personally didn't care for the massaging seats because they were to firm. The car I have has the 3.0 twin turbo and it gets up and goes. Definitely not you grandma's Lincoln that's for sure!! The 3.0 is not found in a lot of these cars I am guessing as it doesn't shop up as an option to select, even on this website.
