  • Worth considering - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    In short, financed an 08 in Vapor Silver w/ AWD fully loaded with 39k back in 2012. Ended up having a cracked engine block which caused a cam sensor to fail, the steering wheel to lockup and the car unable to drive at 123k miles. Sad as I liked the car. I dont have any bad feelings toward the Lincoln brand as the car was reliable aside from that incident and I dont believe that every Lincoln will have this issues. Good highlighta, Loved the styling, powerful V6 engine, great compliments about the car from strangers, how reliable the car was, AWD was helpful, ventilated seats are awesome, THX II stereo was amazing, Sync/Nav system works better than Toyota products and the quality of the paint and leather are great. Areas of improvement The ride wasnt as smooth as I had hoped, the interior materials werent great Xenon headlights could have been positioned to aim higher up and project more light as the MKS does, No folding exterior mirrors, Gas guzzler, Seats arent wide and Im a slim guy. My engine issue aside, I encourage others to give this car a shot. Ita great car.

    I first owned a 2006 Zephyr, and experienced some minor problems, so upgraded to the 2008 MKZ, and so far, the problems are corrected. The car is awesome. I went from owning white, to vivid red, and it is GORGEOUS!!! A winner!

  • An Excellent Choice - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I researched just about everything currently available. I could not find anything, American or import, that matches value received for dollars spent. If you want a luxury vehicle, mid size, that offers excellent comfort, convenience features, and outstanding fuel economy on 87 octane, look no more. I only have 2000 miles on the vehicle, and I am already getting advertised fuel economy, plus. Recent trip on the PA Pike; 31 mpg at 65 mph. This vehicle is very attractive, well built, easy to handle, very quiet on the road, and continues the prestige associated with the Lincoln brand.

  • Love it! - 2008 Lincoln MKZ

    Great car, just had it for about a month. Love the interior and the sync system, even though at first it was a little hard to understand. I love the gas mileage of this car. Traded in my Navigator for this car. That car which averaged about 14 mpg, while Im getting about 23.4 in my 2008 mkz awd.

  • First time experience with Lincoln - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    This is my first time with a Lincoln vehicle. It edged out the Camry XLE narrowly. Generally speaking, I am very pleased and am quite satisfied. After test driving the Camry XLE, BMW X3, and Lincoln MKX, the MKZ emerged as the better choice.

  • Downgraded - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    We traded in a 1994 6 cyl.Buick Park Avenue for the 2008 6 cyl. The PA had the most comfortable interior, GREAT gas mileage 27 mpg. All the bells and whistles. The Lincoln MKZ listed 18/28 but so ar has only 17/21. MKZ is zippy but the front seats are not comfortable on long trips. The MKZ price was about 5g more than it should have been. The MKZ is NOT the car that the Buick was. Wish we had not purchased it now that we have experienced it. Buick is much better!!

  • No better entry level luxury car. - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    My Lincoln MKZ replaced a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria. I thought that the smaller size of the Lincoln MKZ would be disappointing, but it is not at all. The MKZ weighs only 200 lbs less than the 1999 Crown Victoria and the ride is great.

  • Very nice mid-size auto - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    A nice mid-sized car with a very smooth ride. The MKZ has a very nice interior except for the color of the wood trim--too light. The telescoping steering wheel is a nice touch and the THX stereo system with the navigation is really great.
