"Reasons I am not recommending this car: 1. Chrome Plated Wheel Rims scratch easily. They essentially are pieces of plastic plated with chrome and once scratched the whole rim needs to be replaced at a cost of about $800. 2. Mileage is not as stated especially during the winter. I live in a city with a mildly rolling geography and travel very little on the free way. In city mileage has never reached stated mpg. The only time I have done well on mileage is on the freeway or on a flat declining road. Important reasons that I will not buy another hybrid car from Ford/Lincoln."

"My 2012 Lincoln MKZ provides me a great ride and it handles very well. I'm not getting the mileage published. I have owned it for 7 months and already have 11,000 miles on it. The best MPG I have achieved on the high way is 39 MPG and I average 34 MPG in the city. The motor kicks in on my car well before 45 MPH even when I accelerate slowly. If anyone has any suggestions on how to achieve better gas mileage, please let me know."

"We were looking for a comfortable commute car with all the bells and whistles, but we also wanted excellent gas mileage. We also did not want feel like it would take an hour to get up to highway speed. Nothing seemed to fit the bill until we found the MKZ. It has all the creature comforts, all the stereo and electronic options, mostly standard, and it was the right price. It's not super fast but definitely adequate and handles well too. In short it's a great car."

"Love the champagne color. No one would ever know it's a hybrid. So I get excellent mileage and I will feel even better as gas prices keep on going up. Don't hesitate to buy a hybrid. I also get the feeling of luxury because of the color and the beautiful and unique tail lights. Don't care much for the looks of the grill work in the front. The price I paid was reasonable, since my Toyota Avalon cost me almost as much six years ago. I like the idea of the maintenance free (no cost) warranty, including oil changes, for the next 50,000 miles'"

"Drove a lot of different cars in my life. Started out in a Ford and ended up with a Lincoln Hybrid. Seemed fitting somehow despite the multitude of cars/trucks in between. I enjoy the Hybrid and appreciate the Ford products more than any other brand I have owned. Easy to drive. Comfortable. Fuel efficient and great dealer service."

"The more I drive this Lincoln, the better I am liking it. However, still trying to figure out if the hybrid will deliver on its stated city/highway MPG. Not supposed to kick into engine mode until the speed of 47. Well, that's not the way it's working out. Upon checking the "gauge" on the dash, it appears the engine is being used well before I hit the 47 MPH figure. Hoping that changes over time. Otherwise, it's more quiet and comforable than I thought. Truck is small but the battery has to go somewhere."

"This is a sleeper car from Lincoln. It's essentially the Ford Fusion Hybrid, which got great reviews from all the car magazines and review sites, but with a very upgraded interior, including all the bells and whistles: Bridge of Weir heated and cooled front leather seats, BLIS cross traffic warning system, side traffic warning system, excellent back up camera, rain sensing wipers, satellite and HD radio, and best of all, 41 mgp in town (I am actually getting about 43) and 36 mpg on the highway (I am getting closer to 38 mpg). The newer 2013 model will likely be about $10,000 more expensive similarly equipped; it will be a sexier design, but for a basic entry level luxury car with excellent efficiency, super quiet ride and very good handling, this can't be beat."
