There's no other car like it.
Very fast and comfortable. The car rides on rails on any weather. It also has a lot of trunk space for cargo. The car is very quiet and agile when it wants to be. I do get a lot of stares from people when I'm driving the car, especially from the ladies. Go for a test drive and see for yourself

My MKZ has many features that are quite impressive for a entry level luxury car.
Overall, the my MKZ has excellent performance with no problems. The seats are comfortable. I enjoy the parallel parking assist feature. I notice that the MKZ's performance improves with a higher gas tier. The remote start feature comes handy during the winter season.

Even though it is a 2015, it offers more things than your average 2019 Ford !
It is a great car for anyone. Great on gas. I just drove to Georgia from Miami and it only cost $45 for gas. It is not a speeding car so please don't expect to accelerate right away. It is a hybrid so be aware that you will hear your car when your foot is on the gas. Heated seats are amazing in winter. It does have Bluetooth so you can connect your phone. It had a 1800V plug in the back seat so that's awesome

Sporty luxury car. Very roomy inside. Great for long trips.
Spacious interior, feels luxurious. Nice details including air conditioned seats. Great for highway driving. Spacious trunk space. Roomy backseat for the teenagers in the family. Love the sunroof. Sound system is great too. Would like a more updated navigation but this one is adequate. A little hard for others to hear you on the car speaker.

I keep the rear seat down, so I can accommodate only 1 passenger.
Nice design, well appointed, black label privileges. It is a hybrid and I get about 40 miles per gallon. No complaints.

Best car I have owned, love it!
Have had no problems with the MKZ. It handles all road conditions well. Love the panoramic roof! It is very comfortable for long road trips. The warranty service from Lincoln is absolutely amazing. They have taken care of all the normal maintenance and get it done very quickly.

I love it and it drives well.
I love the look of the car. I love the color of my car and the taillight style. I love the way the car drives, and the brand.

Reviewing of a Lincoln MKZ.
No problems. It is snazzy and good looking car. There are no problems with the car. It takes regular fuel which is a plus. The wheels are 19 inch and engine is a four cylinder turbo. The car is silver with leather seats and moonroof. It does not have a navigation system.

Poor design (on the cheap)
Not recommending it. Suspension fails in less than 5 years. Chinese sensor failed as well... "bogus" luxury : )
accountCircle Scot M
Very smooth ride, and very comfortable.
No problems that I know of. Very comfortable and features are great. One problem can do a vehicle health report though. Does not support apple carplay. But it is fine so I don't really care. I think if they fix these things that I mentioned it’d be a great car.

Great car but having a engine problems with a 106k is very surprising.
The vacuum pump went out and somehow put metal in my engine. I now have a blown engine. It is a smooth car. I loved it until this problem. It rides like a sports car and very comfortable. Very efficient on gas. I love that everything is touch screen. I had no other problems. Vehicles has 106k.

Car is not high quality as it should be.
This vehicle is not what i expected because it is bad quality, it is only 3 years with us and the motor has failed few times, interior has damage from factory that appeared 2 years after we bought the car.

If you don't like technology, stay away from it. As someone who is not a fan of technology, I find it annoying
We bought the car uses, as a rental car with not a lot of miles on it. I find it very comfortable and it gets good gas mileage. My only compliant is that it has a lot of technical features that I do not like.

Mkz is a sweet ride - check it out.
The car has a great, distinctive body. My only complaint is that the blind spots are great. It has driven with no problems. I am very happy with the mileage, even with the bigger engine (v6). I would buy this again - but I worry that they discontinued the model.

Lincoln mkz.Worth owning!
High tech- all functions of the vehicle include touch screen or touch button. The key is “keyless and remote” and park, reverse, etc feature can all be changed by touching a button. There is touch screen technology to control other aspects of the car- radio, bluetooth connection, sound settings, vehicle monitoring etc. I have had minimal maintenance issues. I keep up with regular maintenance (oil, tires) and have not needed any major repairs. When needed repairs, cost is not extreme. Performance of the car is very sporty. Good turn radius. V6 engine allows for very quick high speed performance.

Lincoln MKZ. Comfortable drive or ride. Enjoy sun roof fantastic vehicle!
Great smooth ride. Love the combination sunroof, moonroof. Very comfortable during long rides. Enjoy that back seats recline. Plenty of room for groceries or packages or suitcases when traveling. Easy to drive. Enjoy Bluetooth feature for hands free telephone use.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Paul T.

Heated leather seats helps in the colder months. This keeps the lower back and thigh area warm. The touch screen and Bluetooth helps with hands free calling in my area it is against the law to use a handheld device and drive. The Bluetooth helps not get a ticket.

likeFilled Vanessa K.

Great quality, easy enough maintenance, well appointed, and well ahead of other luxury auto companies. Heated seats in the back are rare still in many luxury vehicles, however mine has them. Great purchase!

likeFilled Billie M.

Looks good, drives good. Love the backup camera. Has a good radio. Gas mileage is not too bad. No problems since we bought it. I highly recommend it to my friends. I will buy something similar next time.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Paul T.

Having to push the lock button before using the remote start is frustrating at times. If the doors are already locked I shouldn't have to lock them again. Cruise control turning off every time the car is turned off is an inconvenience. The seat warmers not staying on after the car is turned off is an inconvenience for those of us with bad memories.

dislikeFilled Vanessa K.

None really, I love everything about my car. Everything is awesome. No complaints, just love all that my car offers and how impressive it is even at 5 years old, including compared to 2020 models of other luxury car brands.

dislikeFilled Billie M.

Nothing. I have had no problems. It runs great and looks great. Gets good mileage and does not have any issues. It is a luxury car and I have never had that. I am really enjoying it. There are no cons that I can think of.
