Early ownership review - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By big baby - December 8 - 4:16 amMoved out of a small SUV because I wanted to go back to sedans for the ride, comfort and better gas mileage. I researched the heck out of the market (love the actual owner reviews rather than the editors, who only like drivers cars like BMW). Looked into Taurus, Sable, Malibu, Aura, Milan, and MKZ. Got the MKZ due to incredible standard content, price, and importantly (in Texas), the standard air conditioned seats. Bought at cost less $2000 rebate. Its an unbelievable value. Quiet, smooth, fast, roomy. Its got it all for the price of a loaded Accord or Camry!

I bought it after the 39 month lease - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By bigbaby - June 2 - 12:32 am"Test drove" it for the 39 month lease, then bought it for the residual price, which was thousands less than similar retail prices on used ones. Its just a great car. Many features for the buck, and everything works. Quiet, comfortable, spacious trunk with fold down rear seats, A/C seats are wonderful in North Texas.

Love it and you will too!! - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By Mitch in N.C. - April 25 - 10:40 amI have owned Fords and Mercurys for 20 years, this is my first Lincoln. It is a great value in this class compared to others with less standard features and a much higher price[4000- 10,000]. I am very happy wiyh fuel mileage, ride, handling, features and its quiet inside. It is a great looking car outside and many people ask about it.

Lots for Less - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By TW - February 4 - 4:33 pmCar offers just about every option in the book for a reasonable price. The SYNC system is outstanding and provides the bluetooth capability some reviewers were asking for. On the other hand there are a lot of things that say Ford/Mercury and not Lincoln. The floor mats define cheap. The seats are not comfortable for long periods. The center console is too far rearward to rest elbow when driving. Transmission sometimes gives very sudden/harsh down shifts. And worst of all, there is a very annoying powertrain vibration/resonance at 2000 rpm that produces both an audible noise and tactile feel in steering wheel/gas pedal.

L Is for Lemon not Lincoln - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By James - January 18 - 12:30 amI bought this car brand new, ive had too many problems with it. Let me start with the small things, I needed new weather stripping on all my Windows about 500 miles in, then I started to hear howling noises from the car, ive had 2 new fuel pumps and its still howling, a light nudge actually made the tansmission shifter knob break off, door panels look loose, and it Burns oil too quickly, I filed a lemon law suit in March and bought a new Cadillac cts in April, so far so good with that.

A Lincoln For All To Enjoy - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By One Happy Owner - January 13 - 12:23 amThis is a very fun car to drive. The AWD system really helps out when taking corners or taking off the line. The dashboard is nice a bright at night and the controls are easy to use. The 6 speed shifts very smoothly and never misses a beat. I really love the 600 watt THXII sound system. Every tone is nice and clear. The seats are more than comfortable for long trips. The sync system is simply flawless. The heated and cooled seats are one of the best features on this car. The engine has a hard time getting going off the line but the power really kicks in fast. So far Im getting about 18 MPG in the city and 22 MPG on the freeway at 80mph. This car really holds its own and you would enjoy it.
