Best buy - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By ARGUS - September 20 - 3:20 amIm frugal, was researching CTS and Edmunds compare showed MKZ. I needed more rear leg room than CTS. Couldnt believe price! All compareables cost several thousand more and wanted more up front (lease). Plenty of power, I dont need manual mode shift! Air cond. seats a dream in Fla. Great ride, no problems or complaints. Ive owned for 4 months. Always driven new cars or lux trucks. Trips of 1100 mi cruise on 75mph netted 28mpg, city 19- 20mpg w/reg Gas. Nice touches like ctr consol lid slides forword for arm rest on trips. And Real wood dash not plastic.

Surprise - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By Allen Oxender - September 12 - 2:30 pmWe looked at several "entry" level luxury cars. Was more ten surprised with the Lincoln. I drive 40 miles each way to work, at 70-75 mph Im getting a solid consistent 29 mpg.We recently took a 1200 mile vacation and found the car the most relaxing comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. The power is equal/exceeds comparable Mercedes, BMW and Cadillac. The price was approximately $10,000. less then the above mentioned. This car is much more then a Ford upgrade.

A Must Drive - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By JAG - July 3 - 5:03 pmI really wanted a 2008 CTS before driving this car. Coming out of an 05 LS I was not considering another lincoln. I shopped cadillac first and also Audi A6. While the A6 was bigger and the Caddy had more awards Lincoln blew both away with the price. Fully loaded this vehicle prices 10-15K below the other two. The ride is quiet and has ample power. The 6 speed automatic transmission is as smooth as could be. The SYNC system is unbelievable and the THX stereo is amazing. I love driving this car and I really love all the money I saved. If you can check your ego at the door and try this car you wont be dissapointed.

2008 MKZ Fantastic - 2008 Lincoln MKZ
By Jerry - June 29 - 7:23 pmIm 29, 6 tall, and I was going to buy a used Zephyr because Ive never bought a new car before. I test drove the Zephyr and it was fine, then I test drove the MKZ, and I ended up buying a new 2008 MKZ! The safety features were explained, and they are thorough down to the "air-bag curtains" that drop to shield everyone from broken glass. I have a 1 yr old son. The design may be bland, but other cars like the Lexus are too. The curves of an Acura are nice, but otherwise its bland. I actually like the design. Not elegant, but luxury and strength. The chrome is nicely placed on the side mirrors and underneath windows across the doors. I love the light leather, dark gray dash, ebony wood.

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.

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!

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!
