2008 MKZ AWD - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By J Betten - May 21 - 4:03 amI drive more than 40,000 miles per year. I chose this car over all other premium sedans, which I did test drive. Im very pleased with everything about the car and feel its under-priced compared to other luxury sedans. Handling is great! Interior is very quiet. Power is good for a v6 awd Comfort and ride quality are excellent. THX Stereo is Fantastic! GPS is somewhat intuitive, but interactive system is great. The only drawback is the lack of blue tooth phone, which may come later. I coincidentally bought one of the first off the assembly line. I found that this car is the best for the money - $10000-15000 price difference to other makes.

New Lincoln Owner - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By Dave - March 24 - 6:26 amI just purchased this car and am very impressed with it. Ive already driven 100 miles and the gas gauge has barely moved so Im hoping for some good MPG once I refill. The THX sound system is wonderful and has so many useful features that Im still learning. I love the light colored interior and the heated and cooled seats are the best. My other car choices were a 2009 Camry SE and 2011 Hyundai Sonata. Those cars are also good but this Lincoln had more features for a lot less money. Even though its basically a Ford Fusion, I like saying I own a Lincoln. Little more prestigious.

Actual experience - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By don - February 6 - 9:13 amTraded in a 2004 TL automatic. MKZ has a better ride by far. Sync works much better than the TL voice system, seats are more comfortable, more adjustable, trunk is bigger back seat more comfortable and the air conditioned seats are by far the best thing going. Long drives they come in real handy.

Lincoln is back. - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By TommyDavis - February 1 - 11:50 pmI am definitely not the target consumer for Lincoln as I am well under age 65 (under 30, actually), but after owning an AccordV6, an Acura TL and a Lexus ES, and putting 100k miles on each, I drove the MKZ. I was initially drawn by the price, but when I drove it, I was hooked. I have had it 2 months (and 5k miles) and its by far the best car I have owned insofar as initial quality and handling. The SYNC system really works and rarely misunderstands a command. Oh and get this: I bought the base model-- absolute no additional options. Very very impressed with the car, the value and the deal I was able to get on the vehicle. Looking forward to my next Lincoln in 2011!

I bought and am sorry - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By Hal - January 21 - 3:03 amHave owned many new cars over the years and the last few have been either Honda or Toyota. Thought it was time to return to domestic. This car suffers from intermittent problems, like in the 8 months of ownership, the front two windows have rolled down when unoccupied four times. In addition, the seat positioning does not work from the key all the time. Lincoln (Ford) refuses to repair problem that are not seen by the dealer. I have serious problems, the car is not secure with windows rolled down, and Ford is saying if they do not see the problem, they will not fix. I regret not purchasing a Lexus! Never again will I purchase a Ford product.

2 plus years of love - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By big baby - January 21 - 2:00 amThis has been the most trouble free car Ive owned, and that includes Lexus, Acura, Infiniti. Change the oil, put gas in, stick the key in and start, enjoy miles of smiles. I get a lot of looks and comments about the exterior. Strong V6, great 6 speed transmission, comfortable ride. If you can find a used one at a decent price and with a clean record, buy it!

Beautiful for the price, none better - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By Bob - November 29 - 2:40 pmI just bought the car and have received many comments from co-workers on how beautiful it is. I feel very comfortable in this smaller car, my previous car was a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria, a much larger car. I dont feel you can find anything better or more beautiful for the price.

NOT WORTHY TO BE CALLED A LINCOLN - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By Mike38 - October 17 - 2:13 amBought my first used car. After many miles in a full size Lincoln via a former employer I gave the little MKZ a try for my wife. I liked the looks and it only had 6K miles as a former spotless fleet car. Was enjoying the car until we went on a 300 mile trip to Florida. My wife was the first to say my GMC Sierra truck rode a whole lot smother with much more comfortable seats. Never have liked the foreign type tilting wheels very limited positions and sorry but better in the GMC Truck. I do like the way the seats lay down way back but are not very comfortable when down. Over all nice car but far from being worthy to carry the Lincoln name.
