Best car I've ever owned. Great styling, power, electronics and comfort.

I love the styling, the power, the comfort and the electronics

It is worth the expense. And I will pay for these extras on the next car or truck I buy.

I enjoy the backup camera because it makes parking easier. The sensor in front bumper when in cruise control auto brakes when you get too close to cars in front of you. The fuel economy is good .

Kathy M

Modern comforts of the MKZ.

Love the options that are on my vehicle. Specifically the remote start in cold weather. Others include the navigation system, air conditioned seats, panoramic roof, color options which are available, and the ease of everything can be done with the touch of a button. The sound system and clarity when taking a call. The reliability of the car and easy maintenance. Gas mileage and comfort on long road trips were considered in making the purchase.

Dar M

My lincoln. Love my car it is the best.

Love my car no major problems. Very smooth ride dependable transportation. Plenty of leg space for comfort always look brand new. I get a lot of comments on the car I would recommend this car to everyone. One of the smoothest rides out of all the cars I had in the past.

Lincoln MKZ hybrid is comfy, spacious, and great on gas-excellent car overall.

My Lincoln MKZ hybrid runs like a dream, great on gas, and it is spacious and comfy. I love the heated seats in winter and cooled seats in the hot summer months. The buttons on the left side of the steering wheel (controlling display and cruise control) occasionally do not work but mashing the buttons until they work has worked for me. Also I have only put the back seat down one time to have more room when I was moving furniture. I was unable to put the seat up myself because the seat belt got stuck in a shortened position and just wouldn't budge. I had to take it in to Lincoln and they fixed it for free but still it is a small issue the car has.

I think I get great gas mileage. On highway traffic, I can get up to 30 miles per gallon.

I have no complaints. This ride is smooth. I get twenty four miles a gallon with stop and go traffic. I use regular gas with a V6 engine. The seats and steering wheel are heat and air-conditioned. I also have a sunroof.

Swollen Lug Nut+Flat Tire=PARTS ONLY CAR

16days and counting: Still trying to get lug nut off!!!! Middle of Winter in Ice, rain and snow. Just want to change tire. Bought correct tools and have since resorted to more creative attempts. Ford still refuses to issue a recall! 15 yrs they put these swollen lug nuts on several models! I would never have imagined! At this point, my Lincoln is ultimately a junk, for-parts only vehicle. No matter its luxury and great performance- A flat tire has rendered it useless!

Brittany C

It is not a good car on gas so city driving is bad but also long distance sometimes is still bad.

I constantly have it in the shop for issues. The car is made my Ford which sucks. The dealership doesn't respect me.

Pam W

Rain issues are the only problems.

The car does not do well in hard rains. It hydroplanes easily and the highest speed on the wipers is not adequate to keep the windshield clear. Other than that it is a reliable car. No additional problems. I change oil regularly along with tire rotation and other expected maintenance.

Lincoln should be your next luxury vehicle.

My Lincoln MKZ has been trouble free for the 3 years I have owned the vehicle. Much better vehicle than any I have ever owned. Quieter, more tech friendly, and more economical. Plenty of interior comforts, lots of interior space for 4 adults and creature comforts galore. Plenty of trunk space. Stylish wheels to go with an overall stylish exterior. Just classy.

Jennifer D on June 18, 2021

Can change the inside colors to any color. For example can light up the trim.

Love the technology. Nicer than luxury cars. Drives good. Had a few issues. It is comfortable. Hard time replacing the key battery. Do not like this. One key. Broke and they cost over 300 dollars to replace. Battery dies quick on other one. Love the heated and cool seats.
