    Comfy Luxury Ride

    I have my MKZ hybrid for over a year. The car has been reliable and great on gas (avg 42mpg). It has all the features I want (panoramic sunroof, LED headlights, etc.) Performance is probably the weakness, but I am not drag racing or craving corners around town in my daily driver.

    I love my MKZ hybrid - my first luxury vehicle.

    It is perfect for me. I remember being at a local nice restaurant & seeing a brand new one in the parking area. I was stunned it was so gorgeous - baby blue - the perfect color for me. I was so excited when I found one just like it for sale a few years later at a great price. Baby Blue & I have enjoyed the Pacific Coast Highway together - so fun!

    Dependable and a great investment.

    The MKZ Hybrid is under-rated. I've been averaging 38 MPG on regular gas. The tank holds about 11 gallons and I usually fill it with 8-9 gallons. Regular is usually 50-65 cents a gallon cheaper. After 5 years of driving, my only problem was when it was left out last winter in -25 F weather with blasts of wind that felt like -50F. The car wouldn't turn over and Lincoln came out, started it and offered a free tow to the dealer. I replaced the battery and smooth sailing.

    40mpg luxury

    Best bang for your buck for a luxury hybrid sedan, more impressive than I thought it would be. The push button transmission will take time to get used to.

    Love my 2014 MKZ hybrid but would never buy again

    Driving 100 miles a day, this hybrid has saved me a fair amount of money: 39 mpg vs 33 mpg with my old Hyundai Sonata (with 285,000 miles on it). After test driving and reviewing EVERY luxury sedan on the market. I bought the Lincoln for it's comfort, performance, safety features and styling. Purchased new, it cost a little over $46,000 loaded. Why I would not buy another: Service charges are out of sight. Examples: 1. The panoramic roof, costing thousands more as an option, failed after just average use. Apparently the plastic components have a history of failing, resulting in a repair cost of $2000!! 2. Electronic module controlling the trunk release failed while on a trip. There is no way to open the trunk manually if the electronics fail. Cost: hundreds of dollars to replace. (Because the trunk was full of luggage, the emergency manual release could not be reached). 3. When the back seat was released and pulled down to access the trunk, the tensioner on the rear seat belt locked, so the seat could not be returned to the upright position. The seat belt had not been used more than a dozen times as this is my commuter car and no one rides in the back seat. The tensioner had to be ordered and replace at a cost of nearly $200. 4. The black carpeting in the vehicle has faded in many areas to a light gray, despite the car being garaged with only average sun exposure. By comparison, my Chrysler with black carpeting looks as new as the day it was bought and is years older than the Lincoln. 5. The black plastic trim throughout the car exterior has turned a chalky white, despite using all varieties of protectants. When the dealership was asked about a product to protect and restore the black color, they said they had nothing. 6. Most disturbingly, the black paint on the hood and other areas of the car is starting to bubble up and will soon begin to flake off. With the car under warranty, and with a 100K mile warranty on paint, I assumed this would be covered as it is obviously a problem from when the car was made. The dealer however said that because of the way the paint is bubbling up from the primer, the defective paint job IS NOT covered by their warranty! xxx? 6. The hybrid battery takes up a large amount of space in the trunk, which I knew was the case. However, the lack of a mini spare tire is not good. If you are traveling off the beaten path - for instance traversing open highways out west where there are no service stations and often no cell service - and you get a flat tire, you could be in a very dangerous situation as there would be no one to get moving. 7. Diagnostic charges, not limited to Lincoln, are a pure money grab. $185 to plug the car into the computer to get a readout is excessive. With a major repair, dealers used to apply that diagnostic charge to the repair bill if you had the work done then. Not anymore - you eat the $185 and then pay for the repair bill on top of it. 8. The dashboard screen which displays navigation and all other functions, is large enough but unusable if strong light is shining on it. Perhaps it is the soft membrane that the screen is made of or the angle that it is built in at, but compared to other vehicles I own, it is very difficult to view much of the time in bright light. at night it is fine. To conclude, the car has been serviced regularly by Lincoln dealers only and is otherwise ok. But to be honest, my 2002 Sonata, which I also bought new for $16,500, was far more trouble free, and when I sold it with nearly 300,000 miles on it, it still looked like new and never had any major problems or maintenance issues. So after this car completes it's life, I will probably return to Korean and/or Japanese vehicles again.

    Luxury and economy

    I bought this car used coming off of a 39 mo. lease. I find the combination of luxury and fuel economy fits my needs and life style. I consistently get 45 MPG with a combination of mostly city and some hwy mileage. Mileage is reduced a little with constant hwy (long trips) and extreme temperatures. Hot wx requires more battery use to keep excellent AC on. Cold temps require the gas engine to run more to keep warm inside. There are a few blind spots during city driving and parking, but the sensors and back up camera work very well. Acceleration is surprisingly quick for 3800+ lb luxury car with this good of gas mileage. And the hybrid design does it with out a lot of noise.

    Great on Gas & Looks

    This is a luxury car that looks Sporty and is great on gas. It's a Hybrid. Plenty of power and quiet as can be at low speeds. Scares people in parking lots because they don't hear it coming. Very comfortable car and very sporty looking too. I like it a lot. The one thing I don't like is that it's hard to get in and out of easily. I'm a big guy, so that is my opinion.

    Best luxury car in budget

    This car has every single feature you could image in a luxury car. You name it. When you drive this car, you feel like sitting in a cockpit & flying. very smooth. No noise of outside. If i drive on normal mode, I have done 45miles/ gal which is not common in luxury cars on that price.
