  Smiles per Miles, and going strong - 2014 Lincoln MKZ
  By alfista79 - November 1 - 8:31 am

  I actually have the V6 AWD, but I cannot select it in the options list. Love the exterior design, I am just smitten by its sinister beauty, especially in SmokedQuartz. The V6 is rev-happy, albeit not as torquey as GMs; the suspension is tight, and the electronic steering is not numb, nor too heavy. In AWD form with Pirellis summer rubber, the car feels glued to the road on sharp, fast turns. Acceleration is brisk enough, but remember, this is NOT meant to be a Mustang for Lincoln; rather, a luxurious performance cruiser, and it fits the bill nicely. Interior is plush, supportive, and it gets plenty of praises, especially the novel arch! Touch-controls are not bad at all, as some mags say.

  Vehicle mpg not true. - 2014 Lincoln MKZ
  By edsmerc50 - October 6 - 1:42 am

  Disappointed in the mpg. sheet states 45mpg. Dealership rechecked 04/01/2014 for mpg and no problems found to justify why Im only getting 34.3mpg. Im going back to Audi,VW,Honda or Toyota. Ive own these vehicles before and they live up to their build sheet. American brand name vehicles are flawed and people selling them are either more enterested in selling the car than telling the truth or they dont know enough about the product their selling. Price too high for really what your getting.

  By djasie - September 10 - 3:26 pm

  I am absolutely pleased that I purchased this automobile. 5 years interest free is a nice incentive. It is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. I still learning all the bells and whistles.

  Gorgeous and Powerful - 2014 Lincoln MKZ
  By Wayde - May 3 - 7:59 am

  You have to get used to the all push button drive controls, but now I prefer it. I love the unique looks in and out. There have been a number of recalls on this car, but nothing major. Just more of an inconvenience.

  I feel the need to write a review - 2014 Lincoln MKZ
  By danstr1 - October 2 - 9:00 am

  I recently purchased a new MKZ. I feel compelled to write a review after reading several negative reviews written by "professional" reviewers. Please sit down...Im in my late 30s and traded in a relatively new Audi on the thing. Technology is truly important to some of us along with handling and a nice compliant ride. This has all the above. My Audis handled well but had none of these other qualities. Reliability is also key. Im truly pleased with my purchase and feel that the styling is anything but cookie cutter and offers a great combination of features. Rebadged Ford.. so is Lexus....so is Acura....so is Audi.... so what!

  Third Ford Corporation Hybrid - 2014 Lincoln MKZ
  By Fred - July 14 - 8:39 am

  This is my third "Ford Corporation" hybrid. First was a 2010 Ford Fusion (great vehicle), Second, a 2012 Lincoln MKZ (another great vehicle) and this one, a 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. I purchased the 2014 Lincoln solely because it has "killer" looks, very eye-catching and the newest battery technology. Ive had no problems with ANY of the hybrids and the gas mileage is fantastic. I really like Fords hybrids because they look like "real" cars, not like "insects" as in the Toyota Prius. Theres only a couple of things I would change, one is the CVT transmission (I dont care for the "drone" sound it makes under hard acceleration {although it does perform well at all highway speeds}), the second is a larger fuel tank and the third is the many touch screen prompts (I prefer buttons/switches and knobs). Dealer service is great, showrooms are high class and personnel are very friendly. Additionally, Lincoln does not charge extra for the hybrid edition. A nice feature is when sitting in traffic, the battery pack heats and cools the interior of the car without running the engine and only comes on temporarily when the battery pack needs to be recharged and that only takes a few minutes. Cant buy a better vehicle.

  LOVE my MKZ Hybrid! - 2014 Lincoln MKZ
  By stacih - March 1 - 3:52 am

  The MKZ Hybrid is an amazing and beautiful vehicle. For me, I average in the city, 56 to 62 miles per gallon and 45 to 50 on the highway. The technology is, at times, unbelievable. Lincoln did a fantastic job with this car. I have had my new car now for about three months, and have absolutely no complaints. My hybrid is fully loaded...the only thing it does not do is tell me hello when I get in...which would be pretty cool :) I have read the review here on Edmunds and was shocked that the complaint was interior space. I do not find this to be true. Also, I like the simplicity mixed with the luxury on and in this vehicle. The exterior is sexy and beautiful...buy one you will love it!

  MKZ Hybrid - 2014 Lincoln MKZ
  By warpaint1 - September 17 - 6:23 pm

  I love the exterior styling on the MKZ and the lines of the vehicle are beautful. I love the look and feel of the handling. The fit and finish is amazing and the sound quility is the best. The ride is what I expected it to be excellent. Sure there are more expensive vehicles out there but I think Lincoln has come a long way with the design and build of the new MKZ.

  4TH MKZ OWNED (Have 3.7 model) - 2014 Lincoln MKZ
  By bhp2000 - October 15 - 9:06 am

  Through 30 yrs had 5 BMWs, 2 Benz, 2 Jags & an Audi. ALL tire eaters. ALL ugly brake dust a wk after wash. All Premium gas. Most had me in the SERVICE depts on a reg. basis. BMW the worst. (Over-tech-ed) Got tired of it all in 07 & tried an MKZ. Cheaper to buy of course and luxury perks suffered but was pissed off. Then, things like REGULAR gas, no brake dust, tires getting 46k miles rather than 20k, free oil changes, rotations etc and NO PROBLEMS mechanically inspired the next one & so on. The car keeps improving & current ones the best so far. DONT believe reviewers trashing after a day with the car. ASK OWNERS you see on the street then test drive. SUPPORT USA!
