My favorite car ever!

Once I did not need an SUV anymore I started looking for 4 door sedans. The Fusion caught my eye but when I looked at them the dealer had about six MKZ's for sale. Immediately I was blown away with the styling and the interior. It had a no knob dash and a double passthrough to the passenger side - very slick! The electronics and auto parking, THX stereo, comfort, panoramic roof, interior lighting and on and on was magnificent! I have owned many superior cars but this one I will keep for a long long time.

very nice luxury vehicle

Very nice car. Seems a bit overpriced compared to its sister car, the Ford Fusion, but it does come with a lot more bells and wistles

A high-tech modern luxury car

Overall it is a very nice vehicle with all the latest technology you would expect. Lincoln has done a good job making the technology easy to use. Downside is it doesn't "feel" like a lincoln in that it is a smaller front wheel drive car, not the large RWD that Americans are accustomed to with the Lincoln brand.

Most comfortable car I've ever owned

Was absolutely shocked by this vehicle when I sat in it. It's like sitting in a spaceship. Everything is a clean tight finish with no knobs or levers what so ever. Everything is touch screen activated or by buttons for changing the gears. Initially I thought the buttons would be an issue, but it actually works really well. Very comfortable, extremely quiet ride as well. Reliability I can't really comment on as I've only owned the vehicle for 3 weeks now. But so far absolutely worth the price of checking it out at the very least....you'll be surprised

Bought Lincoln Certified

I'm amazed at the amount of technology that's packed inside of this car for the price point . This is the first American car over and over 20 years. I've owned Mercedes, BMW, Lexus and Volvo. I bought this car a year ago a 2013 eco-boost with the 19 inch rims sunroof, navigation, and heated & cooled seats with 16k miles on the odometer. The 100,000 mile certified warranty was a big seller and the fact that the car drove almost European. Living in Florida AC is very important in this car cools off immediately has remote start and I love the cold AC seats. I love the heated steering wheel and seats when it's cold. I also like the fact that even though it's a turbo it runs on regular gas. If you're in the market for $25,000 car I highly suggest putting this on your shopping list . The car is been very dependable. Ford has really got it together and I feel that this car is a bargain!

Decent entry level luxury car

This car is luxurious for the price . However, it does not pick up speed fast and I've had it I the ship twice for an a|c problem and then some type of exhaust problem. Luckily , they were covered under the extended warranty. I bought it used six months ago with 60k miles on it . It's a decent car, it is very stylish in my opinion and feels luxurious . I do not like the sync system however . It often malfunctions a/c controls and my phone when it's connected to the system.

First sedan & it's been very good car

This is my first sedan. I have always owned trucks and I was tired of getting such low MPG so I opted for a car. This car gets great mileages, has good power for a 4 cylinder and I have always had V8 so I was shocked. It's very comfortable and roomy. The trunk has lots of room, way more than I expected. I have a family of 5 and we take this car on trips without any complaints. Great car and I would consider the same car again if I was looking for another 4 door sedan that was stylish and good on gas.

Excellent fuel efficiency

A use to drive a Navigator and was concerned about moving to a smaller vehicle. But I have been very pleased in the vehicle for the 30 days I have owned it.

A Great Ride

My 2013 MKZ is a terrific car. The exterior is absolutely beautiful, with great lines and very eye catching. The interior really shines. All of the controls are well thought out and easy to use while driving the car. The touch screen works well, and there are plenty of options, including the heated AND ventilated leather seats (which is terrific in warm weather). It is definitely created for the technological world we live in today. There are 2 12V auxiliary ports in the front, 2 USB ports, an SD card slot and RCA inputs for the front seats, as well as a 12V auxiliary port for the back seat. I have the EcoBoost engine, and my car averages 22.9 mpg even though my commute is generally short. The turbos give it plenty of acceleration on a short entrance ramp, and the engine works so smoothly that you have to watch your speed or you'll be going faster than intended. The trunk is very spacious, and the back seat is roomy for the kids. I'm 6'3" with long legs, so I enjoy the easy entrance/exit feature. When the car stops, my seat automatically goes all the way back (this is the first car I've ever owned that I didn't have to drive with the seat all the way back to start with), and the steering wheel moves up and out of the way. It's very fun to drive, and has lots of features that keep you focused on the road even with the ample technology (rear camera, blind sport warnings, etc.). The voice part of the Sync system is my only complaint. It recognizes speech well, but it can only handle commands in a very specific order, rather than being able to function with natural speech. It even has a system where you can code a key not to exceed certain predefined speeds, keeps all of the safety features enabled, and can limit the audio volume. As my stepson will be approaching getting his driver's license soon, it provides some extra peace of mind. The service from Lincoln is terrific, and I highly recommend this car to anyone in the market. We take my Lincoln, rather than my wife's Mercedes, on any lengthy trips.

Best all around car I have ever owned.

The ride, drive, style and comfort is hard to beat. Each new model keeps getting better. I will buy a new 2017 or 2018 MKZ Black Label.
