This Year's Model Updates:

The 2010 Lincoln MKZ receives extensive revisions, including improved fuel economy, freshened styling inside and out, a new Sport Appearance package, added convenience features and a new instrument panel and center stack.

Pros:
  • Nicely equipped, available all-wheel drive, smooth ride, competent handling.
Cons:
  • V6 lacks refinement relative to rivals, not different enough from its Ford sibling, staid Lincoln styling cues seem aimed at an older demographic.

  • Want my towncar back - 2010 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I have driven Lincoln town cars since 1984 and have owned a total of 6. The Lincoln MKz cannot be compared to the ride and comfort of the towncar and the mileage per gallon is horrible. It Lincoln does not improve on this vehicle or bring back the town car, this will be my last purchase.

  • Nice Job, Lincoln - 2010 Lincoln MKZ

    This car is highly underrated, and I am glad. I love being one of the only cars like this on the road- I get looks every day. I test drove/researched the Maxima, G37, XF, C class, 328/335, TL-S and A4. This is BY-FAR the best value for the money, and surprisingly great handling. I got this vehicle for cheaper than ALL of the above vehicles, while still getting more features than many above. And believe me, there is still plenty of acceleration for those in doubt. I have owned Lexus, Acura and Nissan and the build quality rivals all of the top names. Only quibble is the gas mileage, but probably b/c of my leadfoot. Great job Lincoln!

  • Great Car and Great Value - 2010 Lincoln MKZ

    Love this car. Get lots of compliments on its appearance. My "fully loaded" sangi red, ultimate package model has lots of useful extra features. Important to me, it is an American brand and, with sales incentives, also costs several thousand dollars less than comparable Japanese and German entry-level luxury vehicles. Our other car is an Acura RSX Type S, a sporty performance coupe that I enjoy driving. I am equally pleased with the handling of the MKZ, given that it is a quite different type of automobile. Absolutely no problems with car at 1,500 miles.

    I have a 2010 MKZ. The seat won’t stay in automatic adjustment. We Found that when the battery goes bad, the seat loses it’s setting. We have had 4 replacement batteries in 4 years. The drivers side seat broke once. The lumbar on the passenger is now broken. The passenger side fender is loose. It came loose from where it is attached. The rims carode and cause the tires to leak via the rim. Tail light recall, repaired by dealer. Rear breaks done at 71,051 miles. AC line leak at 71051 miles Replaced at 71617 miles. Replace inner driver side door handle. A wire on the rear defroster grid got broken, rubbed. Right chrome mirror cover fell off, I was charged for the replacement. The AC is now not working properly again. Are other MKZ’s as troubled as this one? [contact info removed]

    I replaced my 2005 Chrysler hemi with this beautiful platinum white MKZ and could not be happier. It is the base model without all the additional bells and whistles and has more than enough convenience and comfort. 27 MPG on the highway is great and the power is comparable to the hemi - after all the chrysler weighed about 600 lbs more. The ride is smooth and the interior quiet is better than my neighbors Lexus 350.

  • My 2010 MKZ vs. my 07 MKZ - 2010 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I just turned in my 07 MKZ lease and leased a new 2010 Lincoln MKZ. Overall I am relatively happy with my new MKZ - performance, handeling, and ride have all improved, and the cosmetic changes for the most part are an improvement. I can however see where Ford has cut some costs in producing the 10 vs. 07 while adding $5,000 to the base price in just 3 years. My biggest disappointment is in the poor audio unit now standard in the base MKZ, the same unit that comes in a Ford Escape, Fusion or other Ford/Mercury vehicle. While the whistles and bells such as Sync, USB, and Bluetooth Audio are all great, the most important aspect of any audio system - sound quality - is very disappointing.

    This is really a remarkable car - Ive not experienced anything quite like it. Quiet, almost supernaturally so on the highway, and the mpg is reasonable - around 26-27 so far. The MKZ is tight. Currently I have 500 miles on the MKZ, and its the best car Ive ever driven, hands down. Far beyond a CTS, in my opinion, in ride, quietness, and handling, let alone features. Whats more, this car seems to be built like the rock of Gibraltar, but time will tell.

  • I cant believe Ford built this car! - 2010 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I traded in my 2004 Avalon for my new "Lincolnette" with Tech package (101-A) and chrome wheels. What a wonderful car! Great performance, ride, build quality, styling. Atlantis Green with the Camel leather interior; a very handsome combination. (So over Greys and Silvers). No Nav system: thats an expensive toy that would not be used very often (arent most GPSs?). Great improvements over earlier models. I am looking forward to several years of trouble free service.

  • Wonderful Automobile - 2010 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I studied cars for two years before settling on this Lincoln MKZ. Ive driven it 2000 miles and am pleased with everything I can find with it (still figuring out all the synch features). I love the appearance, fit and finish, ride comfort and handling. I will probably keep this car six or seven years as I did my Lincoln continental.
