  • Great used vehicle - 2012 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle recently (12/17). I lucked out and found a very low mileage vehicle. Shortly after purchasing, the first snow came in. I was little concerned since this particular vehicle wasnt AWD (its FWD). It did a good job in the snow. Tons of trunk space. I had a vehicle pull in front of me at a 90 degree angle. Emergency braking was rock solid, vehicle tracked straight, no issues. Vehicle has a solid feel when driving. Shutting the doors, you feel like youve put something heavy and solid in place. Love the vehicle.

    If theres no difference in price why would you want the gas-eating V6? Our average fuel economy is 37.8 MPG and could be better, depending on how much youre pushed in traffic. You do not have to trade off on power, it just comes from another source. Its quiet and responsive; regenerative breaks are great, nice wood trim, more if you get the exec pkg (plus suede inserts); heated and cooled seats; blind spot system is also very helpful. Headroom is not as spacious because of the moonroof. Center console hits the arm just right, the ones on the door are too low, so you rest your arm on the window sill. Decent turning radius, adjustable LED dash display. THX sound is very nice.

    I test drove the Ford Fusion and the Mercury Milan and then drove the MKZ. What a difference! The Lincoln has a larger 3.5 L V-6 so it has more power. It is VERY QUIET unlike the Ford and Mercury. Its steering is perfectly smooth and doesnt want to jump back to straight and level after a turn. All the controls are Lincoln smooth so its a real pleasure to drive this car. I drove the hybrid MKZ but its ride was much firmer, too firm actually, it was a deal breaker for me. My MKZ was the base model which is so well equipped I didnt need any other options at all. The Lincoln dealer gave me $4K off the sticker price so at $31.5K its a real bargain in my opinion. I love it.
