  A GOOD WORK IN PROGRESS - 2009 Lincoln MKZ
  By workingschmo - June 18 - 7:48 pm

  Bought my Lincoln used and got a great deal on it thus my high marks on value. However, would never buy this new because I believe Lincoln couldve done better compared to the competition. First off is the trunk problem that many complain about. Poor design - you can live with it though. Second - the interior is definitely more Ford than lincoln and could use some more upscale touches. The OEM Brakes are a bit mushy but replacements improved that drastically. Now the good - car feels solid and handles wonderfully with a nice ride and quiet interior. The navigation and SYNC work flawlessly and make this car a true pleasure. 70K miles and no problems whatsoever.

  Great Entry Luxury Car - 2009 Lincoln MKZ
  By Felix Runners - May 29 - 8:56 pm

  This is a great entry-level luxury car. Lots of features for a low price. The engine has plenty of power, the SYNC system is user friendly, and the seats (back seats too) are comfortable for traveling. Thumbs up from the whole family.

  Nice Car, Worth Checking Out - 2009 Lincoln MKZ
  By Ken_W - May 10 - 12:40 pm

  I traded an 06 Zephyr for an 09 MKZ. I obviously liked the Zephyr well enough to come back for more! While the 06 was a bit underpowered, the engine change back in 07 took care of that. They finally added vehicle stability control in the 09. The MKZ is a good balance of price, comfort, and features.Gas mileage on my Zephyr averaged 24 mpg combined, the MKZ is already matching that with less than 2000 miles on it. Im no hot rodder, but I dont waste any time on the road. MKZ isnt for everyone, but its worth a look!

  Lincoln or Ford - 2009 Lincoln MKZ
  By Gene - January 27 - 10:46 am

  Ive been driving lincolns since 1959.My last car was a Lincoln.The 2009 MKZ is NOT a Lincoln It is a Ford. I would suggest that anyone considering this car should look at a Ford Model,and save between $5-$10 thousand dollars.

  Decent buy - 2009 Lincoln MKZ
  By Carfan2008 - November 10 - 5:06 pm

  I am a huge fan of Lincoln. The MKZ offers a stylish car inside and out, with a smooth ride. The standard features are wonderful. The engine is also great. My biggest complaint though is the seats are too small, although comfortable and supportive.

  Love it! - 2009 Lincoln MKZ
  By marie - October 14 - 2:46 pm

  I was debating between a Volvo S40 and the MKZ. The MKZ was the better deal but also provided more head room. My requirements were comfortable, safe and something my husband would also enjoy driving. I went with the MKZ and I have not regretted it. I love my car, I feel like I finally have a real car for the first time. I already drove it in the snow and ice and it handled beautifully. I would recommend getting the brushed nickel interior- it looks awesome and much better than the tacky fake wood that is standard. Also love the bluetooth & the heated seats. There is also little to no road noise and gas mileage is okay- I get about 21mpg with a mix of highway and local driving.

  No parts available when it breaks - 2009 Lincoln MKZ
  By kzad - July 24 - 4:36 am

  We were happy with our Zephyr, so when the time came we traded for the MKZ. We were happy with it until 3,000 miles (yes, thats three thousand), when the traction control light came on. Dealer changed a sensor, after which the car wouldnt go over 30 mph. We were told they had a bad batch of these sensors, they are on nationwide back order. That was two weeks ago. We have no idea when we will see the car again.

  Underappreciated American Gem - 2009 Lincoln MKZ
  By Fred - March 31 - 10:26 am

  I bought an MKZ, after considering the Lexus GS350, MB C-300, and Infiniti M35. I really wanted to like the "cooler" Infiniti or Lexus, but the quality of their ride did not match the MKZs. While not glamorous, the MKZs looks are quite good, the Nav and Sync systems well thought out (confusing at first; I finally got my Palm Treo to sync, with minor bug.) You definitely get a lot for the money! It handles very well, almost as good as the GS350 (and better than the ES, IMHO). The Satellite radio is terrific. A quality issue with the windshield, that may require replacement. But overall I am very pleased with my purchase.

  Engine noise - 2009 Lincoln MKZ
  By Alvin - April 20 - 7:56 pm

  This is my first Ford purchase. Previouly I owned 3 Buick Riverias. I am very pleased with all tne new technology offered in the MKz. Thus far my chief complaints are I find the width of front seats about 2 inches too narrow and the engine sounds too loud,like a 4 cyl. I suspect the engine sound is the result of the fan blades on the engine. Very annoying>>>>
