Great value, extremely happy with all of the options that came with the car we purchased at a great price. The seats are super comfy and very easy to relax and rest in during a long ride.

Smooth, very quiet ride, responsive handling, exceptionally comfortable seating, safety features galore, loads of creature comforts ... a huge bang for the buck. It's an outstanding value in the entry-level luxury car field as it stands... but I purchased a dealer's service loaner with a few thousand miles on it, saving a nice chunk of change. It looks, performs and even smells like a new car. To top it off, the 2.0 turbo runs on regular gas! There's also the bonus of owning a vehicle made in the US by union labor. If there's any drawback, it could use a bit more power when accelerating, but it's hardly a concern, given all the positives. As a previous owner of foreign luxury vehicles, I'm glad I made the decision I did. UPDATE: Six months' ownership, and nothing has changed ... great car. The infotainment system is outstanding and very user-friendly, especially the navigation. Living in Texas, with its triple-digit summers, the air-conditioned (not just ventilated) seats are a blessing ... and not even available on much of the competition. Generally speaking, you'd have to shell out another ten grand to own a similar vehicle ... and just about all other 2.0 turbos require premium fuel. Yep, this one's definitely a keeper.

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.

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.

My second MKZ

This is a great car, my second one. The first being a 2015. While some people don't like the push button shifters, I think that not only is it unique, it frees up space in the center console providing a smooth flow of the controls. Gone are the confusing touch-sliders from 2015. While still powerful, the 2015 engine seemed to run and shift smoother. And I especially like the Lincoln Experience. Overall, Lincoln has another winner. Highly recommended!
