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.

  • MKZ Sport, too much fun. - 2010 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I have now owned my 2010 Black MKZ ultimate sport, for about 24 hours. It is a blast. I traded in my 2006 Zephyr, and this car is soo much more car than it was. I love every feature of this car. The ride is a little stiff with the sport package, but once the tire gloss is off of the tires it will be amazing. :-)

  • Great car - 2010 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    Bought a black on black MKZ and have 2800 miles and have not had the car back to garage for anything. When I was looking to buy compared the MKZ to Nissan Maxima but to get memory seats you had to spend in excess of 2K extra for maxima. This put the price of the two cars within hundreds of dollars. Opted for the MKZ and decided to give Ford (1st time ford buyer) a chance. No regrets yet. MKZ is very good value for mid size luxury car.

  • Outstanding Vehicle - 2010 Lincoln MKZ

    I have driven this car for 2000 miles and have found no issues or concerns. The level of finish and comfort are excellent. AWD was not available on all competing brands.

  • Thanks for not bailing out Ford - 2010 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    Im so glad I didnt go with an import too. Yeah they are made in Mexico and yes they contain foreign parts and assemblies. And yes the thing was based off of a Mazda 6. BUT Im glad to be contributing to FoMoCo (American Holdings) who continues to improve leaps and bounds over the competition. Its my first nice car and is very comfortable for my long legs. Nice smooth-quiet ride. Im happy with it. Lots of nice features. I owned an 07 Taurus and it was a great car so I decided to give FoMoCo another go and Im glad I did. Beefy car.

  • MKZ almost there - 2010 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I traded in my 2006 Zephyr, and this car has some major improvements. I have 1250 miles on this vehicle and am not happy with gas milage. Have averaged 19.7 mpg with a 50% combination of Highway and around town driving. The interior leather and Dash have been upgraded and now feel like a car in the entry level Luxury Line. Engine is very responsive but there is some difficulty starting without a jerk. Seats are very comfortable and the leather is so much nicer then before. Ride is nt as soft as a Lexus but not bad. Some buttons are hard to reach and they are not placed conveniently. They all feel the same to touch. Engine is quiet. Rode noise is more then expected.

  • 2nd MKZ - 2010 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    This MKZ replaced my 07 MKZ at lease end. Very pleased with the 07 so I opted for another. Basically identical cars but no AWD on the 2010. Better combined MPG 24.7 with the 2010 2wd vs 22 mpg on the 07 with AWD. The 2010 dual Climate control regulation is very poor. Appears to be a factory defect that cannot be corrected. I miss the 07 analog clock. There are too many distractions on the LCD display. I do not have Nav, so the display may be better with it. The radio and temp knobs are identical and too often I hit the wrong one. The sync feature keeps dropping my bluetooth phone and requires resetting. I have owned 33 American autos and one Porsche. The 2010 MKZ gets an overall 8 rating.

  • What a great fun performance car! - 2010 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I have found my 2010MKZ, after totally enjoying the 2007 MKZ for 3 yrs. a whole new world of surprises from sound to interior & exterior style. Always a conversation piece with anyone who is looking at it or is in the car with me. No outside noise. You think the car is off. How tight it corners and drives. How I love the voice activation, from choosing music to phone calls and the map guidance plus seeing behind you while backing up while safely looking forward at your map screen. Thanks for the great car with the great ride. Oh! Thanks for not joining the bailout. Great move! Good luck with your 2010 year.

  • My 2nd Lincoln MKZ - 2010 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    My 3 year lease was up on my 2007 mkz. The 2007 was a great car so I was back to buy a 2010. I could see many improvements on the 2010, and I like the handling of the sport package. I like having a car that you dont see at every stop light. I get compliments on the car all the time. I like the size and performance of the mkz, and that it runs on 87 unleaded. I drove a Cadillac cts and when the same as the mks its $5,000 more. I also checked out the Buick lacrosse which is priced about the same as the mkz but didnt seem as nice.

  • Lincoln Has a New Faithful Customer - 2010 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I bought my MKZ with Front Wheel Drive a Month ago. I am just under the 1000 mile mark and Love driving this Car. It has great handling and powerful on the highways. Im Looking foward to taking it on a nice long road trip. I was always into GM Cars and liked Caddys and Buicks, but The Grill of the MKZ caught my eyes. New York had 2 major blizzards so far and the Front wheel drive was more then enough to get me to work on time. Its roomy inside.I always Bought big flag ship GM models and never the smaller model.I looked at the 2010 La Crosse which I think is very Nice along with the CTS but I found that the Lincoln MKZ felt less confining. if You like USA cars the MKZ is a great choice.
