  • Rims - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    the mkz is a great car overall but we had to have three rims replaced do too hitting minor pot holes that other cars went over I believe these rim are defective and are not the quality that you would expect on a lincoln so far the answer I get from Fords is it is a insurance claim or cash out of my pocket too the tune of $600.00 dollars all rims were in a four month period with two of them less thsn two weeks apart and happened on major roads even fords admits its very unusual for three rims in a short period to go bad.

  • New Lincoln MKZ makes me want to drive - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I just love my new MKZ. I was all set to buy a Honda Accord V6, but with my friends telling my to buy American I thought Id test drive the MKZ and ended up walking out with one. Everything is super. I am so excited about this car. I love the features like beautiful interior, SYNC with hands free bluetooth phone, satalite radio, and heated and cooled seats. The car is so comfortable. It handles great and fuel economy seems good so far. The best thing is that it was and incredible value. It was by far better than the Honda and Im loving it. The dealer was super. Only problem is that I just want to drive. It is just fun.

  • First Time In A Lincoln - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I have never owned a Lincoln and now I am sorry I didnt consider one sooner. First of all this car is stunning to look at. I have gotten nothing but great comments from people seeing this car for the first time. The inside is plush with great features at a price that rivals any entry level luxury sedan. If you are in the market for this car make sure you get a model that has the Microsoft SYNC system built in. The earlier 2008 models did not have this. Now it is included as a standard feature. My understanding is that the cars coming on the dealers lots that have the SYNC system are the first to be sold.

  • Loving It! - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I had 2 Infiniti G35s from 03-08, Needed to cut down on expenses, and got MKZ - Test drove a ton of others + this was by far the best value! Better, Smoother Ride (I drive a ton), Handles failing roads much better, better gas mileage, cheapter to insure, Better sound system (Get the THX - Its Hot!), better seating (ventilated, heated + cooled seats)! Im 63 and I fit much better in it! But the best thing by far is the SYNC system - Its truly the most inovative system Ive ever seen! I wanted an American, started with CTS but found this to be the best choice for the budget! Thought I was downgrading, but I find the oposite is true and Im in love with this car and Im a car guy!!

  • Lovin my Lincoln - 2008 Lincoln MKZ

    08 brings std. cooled seats, reverse sensing and new sync system with hands free, voice activated mp3 and phone features. Drives,rides and looks great! Dont waste your money on foreign competition, give this car a test drive first! We can pick any car apart,but with the money we save on this car, it will come in handy with gas prices headed way up!

    The ride is comfortable. I love the drivers seat that is programmable for 2 drivers. Just push a button and seat goes to your drive setting. Love everything about this car.

  • 2008 - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    Beautiful looking car. Needs more interior head room for anyone taller then 6. Trunk lid should be easier to operate. Powerful, comfortable. No mechanical failures 2400 miles. Good buy for the money so far. This is my 3rd Ford product.

  • My Little Smoothie - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    After having cars in my life that could spin tires from a stop light or carry loads of lumber, I decided that I needed a smoother, quieter, more luxurious car. I am in my car everyday as a sales guy, so I wanted something that would make my very active day a pleasant, calming experience. I got everything I wanted and more in my beautiful, Tuxedo Black Lincoln. I enjoy the smooth,velvety,quick 0-60, the library quiet cabin, the 14 speaker THX stereo with voice activated everything, the heated/cooled seats, the huge amount of room and the subtle, tasteful design that people compliment me on almost daily. Great job, Ford. Who needs a stipped down, bland, boring Lexus for the same price?

  • Great Car - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    From a long time Murcury customer, I made the choice to upgrade to the 08 Lincoln MKZ and was I really surprised. I just returned from a 1200 mile trip and the MKZ was great. 27.2 MPG and very comforable with power seats on both sides. The MKZ had a great price - $27000 after rebates and dealer disc. Compare that to Lexus and others...

  • Very happy - 2008 Lincoln MKZ

    I have had the MKZ for 1 month and love it. Fuel mileage could be better in city but better than my Subaru on highway. Hope it gets better after break in.
