  • Fun Classy Car - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    Bought this car on a Wednesday and drove it from Minnesota to Detroit that Friday. 2 adults, 2 kids (3 & 5), dog (18lbs). Tight Compared to our 2000 Expedition, but 27 MPH out of the box (70-75 mph, w/ strong head wind) vs. 15-16 mpg hwy in Expedition. The THX II cert. stereo made the drive more enjoyable and controlling the I- Pod with the SYNC system w/ voice commands was fun for all! The HID Lights are a must, simply awesome! The ride was very smooth and quite. Im 6- 1 and the head room is not what Im use to, but w/ some adjusting I found the helm to be acceptable (Wife 5-3, she thought it was perfact, by the way, this is her car). Trunk space is great, good room for a weekend out.

    This car is a find. Well built, comfortable and great ride. Interior very well-appointed. Nice, thoughtful details. The nicest AWD sedan available in my view. I am getting around 26 mpg on the highway.

  • Best Ever - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    This is simply the best car Ive ever owned - and Ive owned many. I just got out of an 04 Lincoln LS, which was great. I wasnt pleased that Lincoln stopped making them and decided to shop the field. I test drove many. I went with the MKZ and could not be happier. There is really no comparison. There is nothing that comes close to the MKZ at this price point. If youre even slightly considering the MKZ, dont hesitate. If not, you should. You will be shocked at how great this car is. By far the nicest, most comfortable, quietest ride Ive had in over 30 years of driving.

    Two weeks and this is a great car. Great features and nicely priced. Commute every day and am maintaining 22.5 mpg. Make sure you check out th e"standard" features - early 08s do not come with Microsoft Sync, regardless of what the Lincoln website and marketing materials say.

  • Lincoln has it going! - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    Traded an AWD VW Passat for the AWD MKZ. MKZ much more comfortable to drive. The VW felt like I was sitting 1 inch off the road and had to fall down to get into the car. MKZ AWD makes it up a 15 degree grade in a foot of snow! Very smooth ride and plenty of zip!

  • I cant believe this! - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    Ive had this car for less than two years, and take great care of it. Started hearing noises in the transmission and it also started to slip. Still under warranty so I took it back to a different dealer because I moved. Dealor wouldnt give me a loaner because I didnt buy it there! Needs new transmission after two years? Ive heard an acronym for Ford and we all know what it is. As soon as it came out of the dealership I drove straight to Cadillac and traded it in for a CTS, before the warranty expires and it falls apart on me!

  • Nice Car - 2008 Lincoln MKZ

    Really fun to drive. Lots of power. Stereo system and Sync are awesome. I get many compliments from people when they see this car. Owned a Caddy before. I like this better.

  • Fun for the money! - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    Ive owned my MKZ for about 3 months, took one 1,000 mile road trip with it. Verdict so far: Excellent. The car is beautiful inside and out, ride is very comfortable, engine can get up and go. THX sound system is the best thing Ive ever heard in a vehicle, and voice-activated music is just hilariously fun. Looked at a Buick and the Cadillac CTS, but the MKZ gave me the most bang for my buck, and Im one satisfied customer.

  • Love it! - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I did a lot of research prior to buying MKZ. I liked what I read about MKZ so I bought one. I love my MKZ. The ride is very nice. Consumer report graded it high also. Gas mileage not too bad (mid 20s). For now there isnt a luxury riding car with outstanding gas mileage. I opted for luxury. Dont have to travel that far.

  • Great value - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    This car is a find. I stumbled on it while shopping for AWD sedans on the market. Very well done inside and out. The ride and acceleration are great. Comfortable, highly adjustable seats with memory. Nice, thoughtful touches throughout. I havent yet had a gee, it would have been nice if.....moment Definitely worth a test drive if you are considering a car in this class.
