Ive had some premium cars in my life and I've never received so many complements on this ride by all age groups. In its reserve trim with the upgraded wheels and roof it looks slick. The car was a first year production run and if you recall Lincoln had production problems with the MKZ meeting quality standards holding up release several months. Its said Maulally then CEO of Ford was ready to scrap the brand because of it. I say this because the car has interior issues. Ive had several panels fall off, and squeaks and rattles have been a chore for me and my Lincoln dealership to iron out. That said, Ive driven the new ones and I'm confident all those issues have been resolved so buying a new Lincoln is a safe choice and a wise one if you like the look. In fact the new hybrids have been re worked and tuned to use more EV than my 2014 resulting in a quieter more buttoned up ride. Huge strides have been made in the material quality from my 2014 to the current 2016's in leather and interior panels. All that said I'm planning on leasing a new continental when this lease is up. Lincoln has won me over in their customer service. Beats BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus hands down. Lincoln picks up the car for service leaving me with a Lincoln loaner returning my car where ever I am. Essentially you never have to see the dealership for service and if you buy Black Label you just never need to go to the dealer even to purchase. No one else does this and it does make a difference.

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. I've had no problems with ANY of the hybrids and the gas mileage is fantastic. I really like Ford's hybrids because they look like "real" cars, not like "insects" as in the Toyota Prius. There's only a couple of things I would change, one is the CVT transmission (I don't 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. Can't buy a better vehicle. One other issue I'm concerned about is the premature wear of the Michelin tires, although the tires are not a Lincoln issue, these tires do not wear as well as other Michelin tires I've had. The tires are rotated and balanced every 5 thousand miles. I purchased a set of Vogue tires and although they are not "easy rollers", they perform much better than the Michelins. I have noticed a slight reduction in gas mileage (MPG) with these tires however, the extended miles of wear and road-feel is a good trade-off. I had to replace the Vogue tires because of tread separation and purchased a set of Pirelli's and those appear to be doing well (the car only has 30K miles on it). Don't understand why the tires are a problem because I have them rotated and balanced every 5K miles. In closing, I can only say this car is terrific and am disappointed that Ford is not gong to manufacture sedans anymore. DUMB move!!

I almost brought a Cadillac until I saw that Lincoln Hybrid was the same price as the non Hyb. I have this car three months and it is comfortable, fun to drive looks good too. The electronics are not at all confusing as some pro reviewers have suggested, nor does it make noise when converting to gas from battery. Study the manual a bit and the electronics will become intuitive. The extra space provided by push button gears and no shift handle is awesome. I have compared this to friends' BMW and Benz and the Lincoln actually has some better features. The audio system being one. THX audio rocks. Crisp and clear sound.

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.
Superb ride & FABULOUS fuel economy in luxury car-

I purchased this Lincoln MKZ hybrid as my primary business vehicle and LOVE. LOVE, LOVE this car! Its a very comfortable ride, which is important to me as I frequently make trips of 500 mile+ per day in my work. Feel comfortable and relaxed starting out and getting back. The fuel mileage is fantastic and encourage you to make long trips without worrying about huge fuel bill. Trips to the local grocery store often yield 70 mpg! Amazing!! Highway is typically around 38 - 40 mpg. The only thing that's not perfect is the roof height on entry, and that is because my car has the full panoramic roof that opens up all the way back to the rear passenger seat. The roofline is dropped to accommodate the retractable roof. A lot of fun to drive with roof open, feels like a convertible. Just have to "ease into" driver seat paying attention to the lower roof line. A really fabulous car, though, in every other regard. This vehicle is even better at 145,000 miles than when purchased. It rides extremely well, fuel economy has hung in around 38.5 mpg average, and comfort is super. Typical local trips have been running 47-53 mpg which to me is amazing. Changed out tires from original Michelins, seems to not have affected fuel economy or ride. We often use this vehicle for travel between our homes, about 1,000 miles each way. Always arrive fresh and relaxed. LOVE this vehicle!
