  Front License Plate Frame - 2017 Lincoln MKZ
  By Bette Carr - December 27 - 3:29 pm

  You do not get a front plate frame when you buy a 2017 Lincoln mkZ Reserve if you live in a one plate state. So what do you do with your vanity plate? Or move? UPDATE: The dealer has installed a front license plate frame. I am a happy camper. Thank you Mr. dealer

  By Mr Frank - August 9 - 10:09 pm

  Great little muscle car . Throaty sound and impressive acceleration . Gas mileage not that bad for 400 horses . Surprisingly comfortable driving position and a pretty nice ride . Maybe could be a little softer . Electronics work well and are intuitive . Easy car to learn to use . Fun to drive . Lots of nice features , including lights up on approach with the key in your pocket .

  My First Lincoln in 62 Years - 2017 Lincoln MKZ
  By JohnMatt - April 1 - 6:36 pm

  Ive driven many cars during that time including Acuras, BMWs and Mercedes recently. Their prices have risen too high for what you get, and the styling is nothing to cheer about (2017 MB has an IPAD glued to the dashboard). When I saw the 2017 Lincoln MKZ I was curious because the styling was fresh and the price was right. No undesired extras that were built into my choice, keeping the price reasonable. And the salesman I used was completely knowledgeable about the models and accessories so he could answer every question I raised, and the sales discounts happened to be available during the negotiation. The car is just what I wanted, although with a few negatives. It is spacious front and back with good seating quality (I dont use leather seats). The trunk is large and holds my golf clubs easily, or several large suitcases. The turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine (245 HP) has adequate acceleration and highway comfort, but feels a bit strained somewhat when trying to accelerate at high speeds. The fuel recommended is regular (87), but I use mid-grade (89) for better performance. The car has Ford SYNC for music and other electronic adjustments, which works well. It has several USB and 12-volt ports for the smart phone users, as well as Sirius if desired. One issue with me is the small buttons on the bottom of the steering wheel for answering phones using Bluetooth and setting the cruise control. Hard to select and use when driving. Uses a smart key fob remote for starting, entering and leaving, and pushbutton gear selectors (P,D,N,R). This car is not a sports car, so dont expect that. The 400 HP V6 may satisfy the power, but handling might not be there. I hope this description helps with your decision to buy or not.

  Makes me smile - 2017 Lincoln MKZ
  By Joe Rothwein - December 24 - 5:15 pm

  This car is refreshingly styled. It is quiet, capable and well mannered. The interior is very well put together and inviting. It is not an appliance like most Japanese competitors seemed to never have gotten past. This car is a gem that puts a smile on my face every time I look at it. It makes me feel good to dive it no matter what kind of day I have had. This is truly a luxury vehicle, and dont let anyone tell you otherwise. Anyone looking for a vehicle in this class should give the MKZ a tryout.

  Lemon Alert!!! 2017 Lincoln MKZ Reserve Hybrid - 2017 Lincoln MKZ
  By Juliana G. - November 11 - 4:02 pm

  Weve had this car 3 months and have brought it back to be serviced 5 times. The car wouldnt start 2 times and needed roadside assistance to jump the battery. The stereo sounds great, but Sirius drops channels frequently even in well populated areas with great satellite visibility. The rear cabin light has a weird flicker/pulsating condition. Every time we bring it to the dealer for service they say they cant duplicate the problem. I took a video of the flickering light and they said thats the way it works. Thats the way it works???? A $55,000+ car that has lost charge twice and has a flickering interior light sure sounds like an electrical problem to me. They replaced my new cars battery yesterday, now its a wait and see game. Other than that, Lincoln said they cant help me. Ive never had such an experience with a new car ....ever. Now, I know why so many people buy foreign cars.

  Great ride - 2017 Lincoln MKZ
  By Lincoln convert - March 16 - 1:25 am

  My Lincoln dealer got his first 2017 with the drivers package option. Not cheap at $3300 but oh so worth it. With the 400hp engine and AWD this thing is an Audi/BMW clone for tens of thousands less. Spent over an hour test driving it. Came back to the dealership and ordered my own. Left out the luxury package ($4400) and some other stuff. MSRP came in at just under $50K. Not an Audi or a BMW but certainly close enough especially when factoring in the MSRP differential. Service costs will be dramatically less than with the Germans cars (I had 4 Audis over the course of 30 years). For 2017 Lincoln is offering to pick up your car at your home or place of business for service and return it to you. A nice touch. Nothing I will take advantage of as my local dealer is less than 4 miles from my house. My local Audi dealer was 30 miles away. The car is fast, quiet, comfortable, well put together, no wind noise, etc. Seems to be a great alternative to its German and Japanese counterparts.

  I was Prepared To Be Amazed But I Was Bamboozled - 2017 Lincoln MKZ
  By Scott in Wesern PA - October 24 - 3:20 pm

  To be fair, I was comparing this to the Mercedes E350, Cadillac CTS4, Audi A6 and a BMW 5 series. In my subjective testing of 15-30 minute test drives, each of these cars led or tied a category...The Lincoln was never a serious contender in any category. Cheap interior materials. A $1000+ top-of-the-line sound system that you swear is old fashioned boomboxes stuffed into the door panels. Significant squat upon moderate braking. Confidence un-inspiring body roll in curves. Over-boosted steering. At least they finally got the exterior styling correct as the new grill is beautiful. Significant road noise, could be the tires. I so wanted to like this car, and kept telling myself it stickered $15-$25,000 less than the others, but even at that price point I wouldnt pull the trigger as there are many other options in that price range that offer an engaging driving experience.

  2017 MKZ Best looking car in its class - 2017 Lincoln MKZ
  By Elliot Samuelson - October 20 - 8:39 pm

  The car is beautiful inside and out . Ride is superior, as is steering and brakes. The anti collision feature is worthless. Does not slow down or stop until within a foot of obstacle. Should work as well as braking for cruise control.

  3.0 Hot Rod Lincoln - 2017 Lincoln MKZ
  By Joe - April 25 - 1:23 pm

  Hi, so the site didnt, give me the chance to enter the right model. I now have about 2,000 miles on a 2017 MKZ 3.0 L AWD sedan. Im pleasantly surprised as I didnt have a chance to drive this combination when I ordered it. I drove the 4 cylinder turbo, and it was Ok, but certainly not exciting. I compared mainly against the Audi A4 and the BMW 330i. The Audi was a bit underwhelming to tell the truth. All of the reviews rave about the interior, but I just wasnt convinced. I really disliked the nav screen sitting up on top of the instrument panel. I loved the idea of ordering a 330i with a manual transmission, but realized the resale would be poor. The BMW interior didnt really impress either, though there is a kind of throwback look to it that I liked. The two BMW dealers I visited were also less than accommodating. They pushed leasing, while I prefer to buy. Anyhow, I wound up ordering the MKZ Reserve with the big engine, and Im very pleased. High tech safety features, very quick acceleration, and I have yet to find a flaw side or out.
