Had this as my first car when I got my license a year ago. My dad bought this car back on New Year’s Eve of 2010. The car now has 165k miles on it and is running strong. Transmission had to be replaced a month ago but otherwise it’s a good car!
Idk what ya'll are talking about, but I LOVE everything about this car. The tail lights, front end, etc. Yeah the rear end lights are big, but that's the point. Big, bold, and unique. Imma bout to get myself one of these.
i hope they update the back of the new 2017 mkz..its facelift is beautiful but the back looks the same..i kinda like the back of this one. hopefully they do a beautiful lift on the back with a mix between this and the 2014 one
Yes, the one-touch folding rear seat is necessary. It is the right way to design this essential utility feature... and it's no fight to revert the seatback to the upright position.
this is just a refresh, if you want to complain so much then just wait until next year, the redesign should be dropping then along with the redesigned fusion and milan.
Great car. But replace the water pump after 100k, will cost you around $2,000 to replace cause its chain driving and its deep inside the engine, so when it fails, which is a giving, it will leak engine coolant into the oil and completely ruin the engine without you even knowing. There is many youtube videos on this design flaw and even a on going class action lawsuit.
@issamworld,I know it maybe too late now I see you wrote your post 3months ago.but I have done research on the MKZ in the pass,people have said it might not be as flashy as its a CTS,or BMW 3 series exc,but it is marked as one of the best small reliable luxury vehicles out there, it reliable ratings were even better than the CTS,and I am a fan of Cadillacs especially compared to a Lincoln. But if I brought a Lincoln it would be the MKS. Over the MKZ
Nice Review and nice car. There is one thing for sure. You will not get rear-ended in this car !!!! Good lord Lincoln, could you have made the taillights any bigger !?!?
this thing is getting discount right now in canada starting off from 32K CAD, similar price to Honda accord i guess its not bad if u compare this to the accord/camry/altima its a lincoln after all, with 3.5 liter engine instead of 2.4 and the size is similar
I have one and the seats are soft and not hard like those darn imports. My gripes? Make all the cars with more headroom. Don't put a cheap Honda tilt manual wheel and telescope manual! And the hood---when you open it they use a cheap Honda like stick you have to prop it up with. I swear Ford what the hell did you copy these ding dong Honda people on that for? Now, THX stereo is fantastic! Ride is quiet and handling is very nice. Braking is excellent. NAV is the best I've seen.
@DJFG85 That was the Toyota Corolla of Cadillac but I know the Regal is a good car. Just because it says Buick doesn't mean anything the Regal was designed by the a German team and this German team actually created something amazing while GM simply took the Opel and made it a Buick If an actual Buick team made the Regal it was suck but GM has the pleasure of essentially taking something that isn't theirs although GM still controls Opel. Car companies evolve you just have to keep up to date.
I think, Lincoln needs to stop playing around and, dump a SCr'd 5.0 in the MKZ so, they can join the battle between, the CTS-V, AMG, BMW's M and, Audi's R! What Lincoln should call they're racing division..., not sure yet...but, I'm prettysure, it will be BADAZZ, for sure! ;-)
Id be happy with large cars in Europe that dont look like they are made for bankers. Between Audi Mercedes lexus and VW I cant think of any. And anything large and spacious the competition sells is either an SUV or a shitty looking station wagon.
@2003LincolnLS Nah, it wouldn't be that bad lol. The LS is a good performer. Put some 4.10s in that thing! Either that or I'll give you mine once I switch over to 4.30s this spring :-D
That's true...because, most auto manufactors have factories all over the world, nowadays! For ex...., Mercedes-Benz's build cars in Georgia, now! Lol..
@quatlen Anytime M35 Infiniti over MKZ, or G37 fully loaded, plus you get extra cash for nice vacation. And tomorrow the Big 3 says car sales is "down". No doubt since they don't understand people's perception. Any fellow, normal, would rather get Germans than MKZ. After 3 years, MKZ will have 50% lost value. This car should not cost more than 32G.
Anybody knows the fuel efficiency and reliability of this Lincoln? I had Lincoln in the past; they are very energyvor, comfortable, unreliable and powerful. Im wondering if those new models are any different? im hesitating between infiniti or Lincoln .For me all I care about is reliability and fuel efficiency because in real life I don’t need 0 to 100km/h in 5senconds .
Mexico's a part of America...so I Canada. And the rest of South AMERICA, and CENTRAL AMERICA... God, it really astounds me some people don't know what continent they live on...
i am say that when i say America i mean usa. when i say canada i mean canada. When i say mexico i mean mexico. when i say north america i mean all 3 together
holy shit.. for that 43k, i rather buy fully loaded Genesis v8.... i mean where does the value goes? now is that with the AWD? if so, it's justifiable.
They need to stop screwing around and make a Lincoln based on the CD2 platform. Anything D4/D3 based no matter how much you polish it is still just a Taurus and nothing more. A polished turd is still a turd. The ES 350 is not a real Lexus it's an up scale Camry and Lexus in a way admits this. Lexus even states on their site RWD is necessary for high performance driving. They presently have nothing that can compete with the Lexus GS,LS and RS.
lincoln's vehicles don't resemble ford at all or mercury. all gm vehicles look the same except for buick. lexus' look just like toyotas. but even if they look the same from the outside, it's the inside the matters the most
If I had 43K to spend I wouldn't even look at this. WTF Lincoln....cheap looking interior that's more suitable for a Ford and the outside is hideous and bland
If you can afford the bmw 5 series no shit you get the bmw 5 series I'm just saying Lincoln made better cars back in the day the LS was one of the sickest sport sedans you could buy for the money back in the early 2000's now they replaced the ls with this piece of shit and the zephyr.

I bought a 2011 hybrid I love this car.
wow i can't believe how much lincoln has improved there design of there cars KEEP IT UP!!!
Yes, the one-touch folding rear seat is necessary. It is the right way to design this essential utility feature... and it's no fight to revert the seatback to the upright position.
I have a friend with one, and he's had ZERO problems!
The new interior is a great step up from the old one!
Super nice Mkz
i want one! but the interior on the 2009 model was gorgeous.
Wow this car looks hot!
This guy has it, it's the Milan/Fusion platform as frank says. Sorry aieljose, but it even references this in the video.
the engine on the 2006-present Lincoln MKZ
Engine
2.5 L Duratec 25 I4
3.0 L Duratec 30 V6
3.5 L Duratec 35 V6
"tooth-like" Com'on Mike. I'm not even a Lincoln fan and I know it's their signature "waterfall" grille.
this is just a refresh, if you want to complain so much then just wait until next year, the redesign should be dropping then along with the redesigned fusion and milan.
@SquadbayNinja you mean the MKS, the 3.5L EcoBoost isn't available in the MKZ
Great car. But replace the water pump after 100k, will cost you around $2,000 to replace cause its chain driving and its deep inside the engine, so when it fails, which is a giving, it will leak engine coolant into the oil and completely ruin the engine without you even knowing.

So if it was an Acura or a Lexus and everything looked the same you would like it right?
this kinda headlights first appeared on the BMW Z4, and are a major noticeable thing on the M3-M6 models
@andrestnt
The man didn't mention it, but it is available for the MKZ.
@issamworld,I know it maybe too late now I see you wrote your post 3months ago.but I have done research on the MKZ in the pass,people have said it might not be as flashy as its a CTS,or BMW 3 series exc,but it is marked as one of the best small reliable luxury vehicles out there, it reliable ratings were even better than the CTS,and I am a fan of Cadillacs especially compared to a Lincoln. But if I brought a Lincoln it would be the MKS. Over the MKZ
lol, I just bought almost a year old MKZ base, for $24k, has only 8000 miles, its a bargain if you buy a used, but not really used used.
@DJFG85 The new Buick Regal is a bad-ass car, it is actually an Opel Insignia so it isn't like a typical Buick.
@andrestnt
Right, you are correct and I was confused. Thanks :)
I'll choose this over the LexusIS, anyday! ;-)
Nice Review and nice car.
There is one thing for sure. You will not get rear-ended in this car !!!! Good lord Lincoln, could you have made the taillights any bigger !?!?
this thing is getting discount right now in canada
starting off from 32K CAD, similar price to Honda accord
i guess its not bad if u compare this to the accord/camry/altima
its a lincoln after all, with 3.5 liter engine instead of 2.4
and the size is similar
I would like to have the MKZ and the MKT, both in white.
I have one and the seats are soft and not hard like those darn imports. My gripes? Make all the cars with more headroom. Don't put a cheap Honda tilt manual wheel and telescope manual! And the hood---when you open it they use a cheap Honda like stick you have to prop it up with. I swear Ford what the hell did you copy these ding dong Honda people on that for? Now, THX stereo is fantastic! Ride is quiet and handling is very nice. Braking is excellent. NAV is the best I've seen.
This is a damn ford fusion!
love the front , hate the back
@fashionforwardguy
The C-Class is Equal to the MKZ not the E-class. The E-class would be equal to the MKS as far as size.
@DJFG85 That was the Toyota Corolla of Cadillac but I know the Regal is a good car. Just because it says Buick doesn't mean anything the Regal was designed by the a German team and this German team actually created something amazing while GM simply took the Opel and made it a Buick If an actual Buick team made the Regal it was suck but GM has the pleasure of essentially taking something that isn't theirs although GM still controls Opel.

baja, i love your videos i subbed you
and good review and great car, not to sure about the price though.
I think, Lincoln needs to stop playing around and, dump a SCr'd 5.0 in the MKZ so, they can join the battle between, the CTS-V, AMG, BMW's M and, Audi's R! What Lincoln should call they're racing division..., not sure yet...but, I'm prettysure, it will be BADAZZ, for sure! ;-)
@SquadbayNinja i would of been awesome if Lincoln offered the EB engine,
something like a M3 sedan fighter.
I'm not crazy about the contrasting piping on the seats, it looks a bit ghetto for a luxury car. Otherwise nice car.
the suspension is terrible but this is a great car. I can tell you havn't been in one b4!
Id be happy with large cars in Europe that dont look like they are made for bankers. Between Audi Mercedes lexus and VW I cant think of any. And anything large and spacious the competition sells is either an SUV or a shitty looking station wagon.
nothing wrong with the tail lights. looks like 2010 version of the old days tail lights
Looks sweet better than the ES350 crap
@2003LincolnLS You better find something faster than that LS if you're planning on standing a chance. :-)
@2003LincolnLS Nah, it wouldn't be that bad lol. The LS is a good performer. Put some 4.10s in that thing! Either that or I'll give you mine once I switch over to 4.30s this spring :-D
With the v8 that self destructs...no thanks
why is everybody hatin' on this car?
That's true...because, most auto manufactors have factories all over the world, nowadays! For ex...., Mercedes-Benz's build cars in Georgia, now! Lol..
@austinman1995 lol get smart. i was talking to another guy about the Escalade. and yes the Navigator looks better! read before u comment!!?!
@MrHotrodlincoln lol thats what you think!! jk i know. it would be like a Lamborghini vs a honda civic
OK so why did you say the Taurus isn't made in America when you just confirmed it is...perhaps you mean THE STATES...its not that hard.
I would take the BMW 328i, audi a4, cadillac cts, infiniti g37, acura tsx or tl, lexus es or is, or the mercedes-benz c350 before I'd consider this.
@quatlen
Anytime M35 Infiniti over MKZ, or G37 fully loaded, plus you get extra cash for nice vacation.

About to go buy this car wish me luck
correction....CTS*
Yeah i'll take a fully loaded Acura TL instead... no question
@MrHotrodlincoln ok that would be awesome! and the mark 8 is my dream car. if i can find one for sale im going to buy it so hard!! lol ^_^
No offense but if I want a car that looks like an 5 Series, Ill get a five series and wont have to worry about reliability either.
Yeah, not all of them. I like the IS, LS and, the SC but, the rest needs some work. Lol..
it's just a gussied up Taurus and looks it.
Exactly the opposite.. The Cadillac CTV looks better than this on the inside and I think it's cheaper(I'm not sure)
Mexico's a part of America...so I Canada. And the rest of South AMERICA, and CENTRAL AMERICA...
God, it really astounds me some people don't know what continent they live on...
Me either, im the biggest Ford fan, it was a joke look at my profile.
nice car but strange lookin taillights
They really messed the body of this car up 😂 now it looks like a half Pontiac half Lincoln 😂
the tail lights look absolutely FUGLY
I know BIG wheels when I see them...
Flow in mirrors
meh, i dnt think its a bad car. i'll prolly rather get a g8, or cts, or maybe even ralliart.
lol nice way to put it.
i am say that when i say America i mean usa. when i say canada i mean canada. When i say mexico i mean mexico. when i say north america i mean all 3 together
The best or nothing. MB.
its stole the 20'' rims from the SHO....
The grill change from the 2008, is not an improvement.
holy shit.. for that 43k, i rather buy fully loaded Genesis v8.... i mean where does the value goes? now is that with the AWD? if so, it's justifiable.
Ford keeps on getting better and better while Lincoln keeps on getting worse and worse! The only good this is the new Mkx and that is it!
Ford 3.5L EcoBoost please!
Mike Hanley lol
@geovvani1 the navigator is better looking!
i hate how they call it the mk,zee it should be mk,zed
They need to stop screwing around and make a Lincoln based on the CD2 platform.
Anything D4/D3 based no matter how much you polish it is still just a Taurus and nothing more.
A polished turd is still a turd.

Lexus even states on their site RWD is necessary for high performance driving.
They presently have nothing that can compete with the Lexus GS,LS and RS.
why would somebody spend usd 35000 on this..not worth for the price...hell lot of other options in this market..
lincoln's vehicles don't resemble ford at all or mercury. all gm vehicles look the same except for buick. lexus' look just like toyotas. but even if they look the same from the outside, it's the inside the matters the most
lol, I love it.
@quatlen And you'd pay more for all of them.
Who cares where the damn car is made anymore?
i like the front exterior design
the interior is ok
the rear is ugly
@MrHotrodlincoln lol dude il race u!
ford gargage? is that why consumer reports proved ford has a higher realibilty then toyota and honda?
by an american car company.
The back is one of the worst I have seen...those lights are just extremly BIG...the front looks OK though..
I'd rather take a G37...
Too expensive for it's offerings
lol its made in mexico
well it is an american car, so it's pronounced "zee" lol
it's ok; could be better...
If I had 43K to spend I wouldn't even look at this. WTF Lincoln....cheap looking interior that's more suitable for a Ford and the outside is hideous and bland
I was gonna save up for a mkz but its deff not gonna be a 2010 one. ugly as fuck, doesnt even look luxurious.
mpg's suck........
infiniti g37x is much better
If you can afford the bmw 5 series no shit you get the bmw 5 series I'm just saying Lincoln made better cars back in the day the LS was one of the sickest sport sedans you could buy for the money back in the early 2000's now they replaced the ls with this piece of shit and the zephyr.
German cars are money pit no thanks
tyrannize365 fuck bmw
This car is really ugly. No wonder american car industry is struggling to survive.
