I’ve owned my MKZ for two years now still running great. Thus far no issues and very comfortable on the road. Good value and sharp car Purchased a 2018 MKZ Reserve 2.0 AWD in Oct 2018 as I needed a new car and wanted a stylish vehicle this go around. At first very hesitant on the 2.0 liter engine but after purchasing the car the engine does not disappoint. Great ride nice interior and all the technology one could want in a luxury car. Front seats stiff at first but break in rather nicely. Good on long road trips and no fatigue. I recommend this car to anyone looking for luxury at a great price.

I was never a fan of any Ford made product before, I’ve always heard stories that they were unreliable and poorly made. But I like my my own conclusions, so I’ve decided to give Lincoln (the luxury division of Ford) a try. Since owning the MKZ for little over a year, I have grown to absolutely LOVE it. Here’s my Pros and Cons to this timeless beauty. Pros: Exterior - This car looks rich, sophisticated, sporty and classy. Price - Affordability isn’t the most important for a luxury car, but who doesn’t like saving money Suspension - The suspension does an excellent job as absorbing small road imperfections, and makes you feel like you’re floating! Infotainment - The SYNC 3 interface is very easy to use, and hasn’t once frozen or glitched. Also having Apple CarPlay is a godsend! Climate Controls - The cluster of controls and knobs are logically placed and easy to use. Also love the fact that the lettering isn’t stamped on the actual buttons, rather they are backlit to preserve the longevity of the look of the buttons, and gives it a smooth look when the vehicle is off. Powertrain - the 2.0L Turbocharged Ecoboost engine has plenty of power, you can confidently and easily overtake and get up to speed when you need too. It also gets up to operating temperature in subzero temperatures rather quickly, which is always a good thing. Amenities - Having a heated steering wheel, ventilated seats, sunroof, adaptive headlights, plush leather wrapped steering wheel, power lift truck lid, blind spot monitoring, etc (on certain packages) really does pamper you. Brand Cachet - Just the fact that your driving a Lincoln, gives you a sense of exclusivity and elitism Cons: Gas Mileage - this car is HEAVY, and that mixed with it having AWD really makes this car have sub par gas mileage. Cabin Materials - Albeit this car is decked out with leather and plenty of plush, soft touch materials. The hard plastics used do have a few squeaks and rattles from time to time. Transmission - The transmission is smooth, but accelerating from a dead stop, you can feel the transmission sort of jerk a bit as it shifts gears. Fuel System - the capless fuel system is clumsy when it comes time to pouring additives into the tank. Having to use a funnel isn’t very intuitive. Drivetrain - Not being able to manually control AWD, is a bit of a letdown. Overall, as you can see the pros of the car, definitely outweigh the cons. As long as you’re conscious of keeping your Lincoln well maintained, this car will always be there for you. I recommend this car to anyone whose looking to ride will style, confidence, class and purpose. But that’s expected from Lincoln; An Automotive Luxury Boutique.

I have had this 2018 Reserve 3.0 AWD for a week and love it so far. (No selection for 3.0 in review) While I am not the spirited driver I was 20 years ago, having the power this vehicle has is assuring. Yes, the 400 hp is more than you need on a daily basis, there are times it comes in handy like merging on to interstate, passing an impaired/tired driver quickly, and having a little fun on the twisties! I went from a truck to this vehicle so naturally it seems a little small. I bought without driving an MKZ before and there are not a ton of reviews online about it. But the ride is so dang smooth it was worth the considerable risk. Plus, it still has factory warranty and I bought extended warranty because you want one with any vehicle that has a turbo. I suggest the 3.0 awd version because the v6 can handle the cars weight better than a v4- over the long haul it means less repairs. I cannot wait for my road trips coming up this summer and will revise if anything changes. I am excited to try out the massaging seats on my 2 day, 19 hour total drive in a few weeks. This car has good comfort for front passengers, and the 20 speaker system is easily the best car stereo I have ever had. The 3.0 is a special engine and comes with a heavier transmission than the v4. If looking for used vehicles, check this one out as the value is pretty good- you can get the 3.0 over the competitors which only gets you a 2.0 in this price range, plus repair costs will be cheaper than the German models. Sure the German models may seem a bit prettier inside, but they are a pain to repair- not only price but in parts. Aside from not having a HUD, you can get this car with 98% of the features a German machine has. Am I a fan boy? Each time I ride in my new used car I get closer and closer to fan boy status.

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.
