Bought this car in July 2010 with 10,000 miles on it. There were initial issues with pairing of cell phone, but the dealer and Ford were persistent in getting those resolved. Since then, my wife and I have driven it 10,000 miles and love the car - fit, feel, handling, and performance. Visibility out the back is not all that great and full use of the console controls takes some getting used to (probably true of any new car) by older folks (72). Synch technology probably not quite ready for prime time.

This MKZ replaced my 07 MKZ at lease end. Very pleased with the 07 so I opted for another. Basically identical cars but no AWD on the 2010. Better combined MPG 24.7 with the 2010 2wd vs 22 mpg on the 07 with AWD. The 2010 dual Climate control regulation is very poor. Appears to be a factory defect that cannot be corrected. I miss the 07 analog clock. There are too many distractions on the LCD display. I do not have Nav, so the display may be better with it. The radio and temp knobs are identical and too often I hit the wrong one. The sync feature keeps dropping my bluetooth phone and requires resetting. I have owned 33 American autos and one Porsche. The 2010 MKZ gets an overall 8 rating.

My 3 year lease was up on my 2007 mkz. The 2007 was a great car so I was back to buy a 2010. I could see many improvements on the 2010, and I like the handling of the sport package. I like having a car that you don't see at every stop light. I get compliments on the car all the time. I like the size and performance of the mkz, and that it runs on 87 unleaded. I drove a Cadillac cts and when the same as the mks its $5,000 more. I also checked out the Buick lacrosse which is priced about the same as the mkz but didn't seem as nice.

Great car

Bought a black on black MKZ and have 2800 miles and have not had the car back to garage for anything. When I was looking to buy compared the MKZ to Nissan Maxima but to get memory seats you had to spend in excess of 2K extra for maxima. This put the price of the two cars within hundreds of dollars. Opted for the MKZ and decided to give Ford (1st time ford buyer) a chance. No regrets yet. MKZ is very good value for mid size luxury car.

2nd American Car in 38 Years

After 35 years of buying Mercedes, BMWs, Jags etc, I wanted to buy American in '07. My thoughts of the 07 mkz after 3 yrs: /no service problems whatsoever as compared to multiple problems with above mentioned cars /euro cars needed tires after 23-25k miles. got 45k+ in MKZ /no ugly, hard to clean BRAKE DUST on wheels /REGULAR gas! /ride not as smooth as cars mentioned /seats not as comfortable /not as much fun to drive NOW, my initial thoughts on the 2010: /seats more comfortable /piping around seats have TOO MUCH CONTRAST and detract from look, except for gray leather where piping almost matches /smoother ride & more fun to drive /much closer to euro cars above! /SAVED $

Thanks for not bailing out Ford

I'm so glad I didn't go with an import too. Yeah they are made in Mexico and yes they contain foreign parts and assemblies. And yes the thing was based off of a Mazda 6. BUT I'm glad to be contributing to FoMoCo (American Holdings) who continues to improve leaps and bounds over the competition. It's my first nice car and is very comfortable for my long legs. Nice smooth-quiet ride. I'm happy with it. Lot's of nice features. I owned an 07 Taurus and it was a great car so I decided to give FoMoCo another go and I'm glad I did. Beefy car.

I studied cars for two years before settling on this Lincoln MKZ. I've driven it 2000 miles and am pleased with everything I can find with it (still figuring out all the synch features). I love the appearance, fit and finish, ride comfort and handling. I will probably keep this car six or seven years as I did my Lincoln continental.

I have driven Lincoln town cars since 1984 and have owned a total of 6. The Lincoln MKz cannot be compared to the ride and comfort of the towncar and the mileage per gallon is horrible. It Lincoln does not improve on this vehicle or bring back the town car, this will be my last purchase.

What a great fun performance car!

I have found my 2010MKZ, after totally enjoying the 2007 MKZ for 3 yrs. a whole new world of surprises from sound to interior & exterior style. Always a conversation piece with anyone who is looking at it or is in the car with me. No outside noise. You think the car is off. How tight it corners and drives. How I love the voice activation, from choosing music to phone calls and the map guidance plus seeing behind you while backing up while safely looking forward at your map screen. Thanks for the great car with the great ride. Oh! Thanks for not joining the bailout. Great move! Good luck with your 2010 year.

Great Exterior. Awesome Interior.

Mine is fully loaded. Black on black with the sport package. Getting compliments on the exterior in parking tops and drive-throughs. Friends and family jealous of the interior. Not quite as thrilling behind the wheel as a G37 but WAY more comfortable. What potholes? Interior is smoking. Comfy. Love the ambient lighting, SYNC and THX audio.

Great Car and Great Value

Love this car. Get lots of compliments on its appearance. My "fully loaded" sangi red, ultimate package model has lots of useful extra features. Important to me, it is an American brand and, with sales incentives, also costs several thousand dollars less than comparable Japanese and German entry-level luxury vehicles. Our other car is an Acura RSX Type S, a sporty performance coupe that I enjoy driving. I am equally pleased with the handling of the MKZ, given that it is a quite different type of automobile. Absolutely no problems with car at 1,500 miles.

My 2010 MKZ vs. my '07 MKZ

I just turned in my '07 MKZ lease and leased a new 2010 Lincoln MKZ. Overall I am relatively happy with my new MKZ - performance, handeling, and ride have all improved, and the cosmetic changes for the most part are an improvement. I can however see where Ford has cut some costs in producing the '10 vs. '07 while adding $5,000 to the base price in just 3 years. My biggest disappointment is in the poor audio unit now standard in the base MKZ, the same unit that comes in a Ford Escape, Fusion or other Ford/Mercury vehicle. While the whistles and bells such as Sync, USB, and Bluetooth Audio are all great, the most important aspect of any audio system - sound quality - is very disappointing.

What a great car. I'm up to 1300 miles now, and I have to say, this is really much better than any other car I've driven, let alone owned. I test drove several CTS's, but this car blows them away with its smoothness, quiet, comfort, and power. I really don't understand why this car isn't better recognized.

I bought my MKZ with Front Wheel Drive a Month ago. I am just under the 1000 mile mark and Love driving this Car. It has great handling and powerful on the highways. I'm Looking foward to taking it on a nice long road trip. I was always into GM Cars and liked Caddy's and Buicks, but The Grill of the MKZ caught my eyes. New York had 2 major blizzards so far and the Front wheel drive was more then enough to get me to work on time. It's roomy inside.I always Bought big flag ship GM models and never the smaller model.I looked at the 2010 La Crosse which I think is very Nice along with the CTS but I found that the Lincoln MKZ felt less confining. if You like USA cars the MKZ is a great choice.

This is really a remarkable car - I've not experienced anything quite like it. Quiet, almost supernaturally so on the highway, and the mpg is reasonable - around 26-27 so far. The MKZ is tight. Currently I have 500 miles on the MKZ, and it's the best car I've ever driven, hands down. Far beyond a CTS, in my opinion, in ride, quietness, and handling, let alone features. What's more, this car seems to be built like the rock of Gibraltar, but time will tell.

I replaced my 2005 Chrysler hemi with this beautiful platinum white MKZ and could not be happier. It is the base model without all the additional bells and whistles and has more than enough convenience and comfort. 27 MPG on the highway is great and the power is comparable to the hemi - after all the chrysler weighed about 600 lbs more. The ride is smooth and the interior quiet is better than my neighbors Lexus 350.

I can't believe Ford built this car!

I traded in my 2004 Avalon for my new "Lincolnette" with Tech package (101-A) and chrome wheels. What a wonderful car! Great performance, ride, build quality, styling. Atlantis Green with the Camel leather interior; a very handsome combination. (So over Greys and Silvers). No Nav system: that's an expensive toy that would not be used very often (aren't most GPS's?). Great improvements over earlier models. I am looking forward to several years of trouble free service.

2010 MKZ Ultimate AWD

Traded 2006 Zephyr after 53,000 100% trouble free miles for a 2010 MKZ AWD with "Ultimate" pkg . 2006 Zephyr was one of the best cars I've ever owned. Was going to just hold on to it until I drove the 2010 MKZ. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! What an amazing difference in every aspect. The 2010 MKZ is truly a worldbeater. AWD with trac control is as sure footed as a cat. The car is fast, with an incredible ride and is very quiet. Has autostick, bluetooth, Microsoft sync, BLIS, etc. Ultimate package affords every luxury option available on a beautiful car. This car will have Lexus, Mercedes, Acura, etc. totally shaking in their boots. Any non-believers, all I can say is drive one; it'll shut you up.

I have driven this car for 2000 miles and have found no issues or concerns. The level of finish and comfort are excellent. AWD was not available on all competing brands.

I now have 2,000 miles on my 2010 MKZ and can say it is terrific. The Ultimate Pkg is fantastic. The BLIS systems is great. The THX sound blows you away. The MKZ handles well, the build quality is as good as a Lexus. I traded in my Lexus SC430 on the MKZ because I needed a sedan, so a Lexus IS and GS was my first test drive. Both were great, but were lacking in trunk space/storage space. I loved the Acura TL, but it didn't fit in my small garage, and the Caddy CTS and BMW 528ix didn't have a rear camera and were pricey. Now that I own my MKZ, I know I selected the right car. Lincoln has definitely turned the corner on quality and is equal or better that its competitors.

Nice Job, Lincoln

This car is highly underrated, and I am glad. I love being one of the only cars like this on the road- I get looks every day. I test drove/researched the Maxima, G37, XF, C class, 328/335, TL-S and A4. This is BY-FAR the best value for the money, and surprisingly great handling. I got this vehicle for cheaper than ALL of the above vehicles, while still getting more features than many above. And believe me, there is still plenty of acceleration for those in doubt. I have owned Lexus, Acura and Nissan and the build quality rivals all of the top names. Only quibble is the gas mileage, but probably b/c of my leadfoot. Great job Lincoln!

I bought my Lincoln MKZ on 5-20-09 and I can't stay out of the car. So many features to enjoy, From the sat radio to the snyc my ride, I am enjoying for free for 6 months to the beautiful interior and comfort, and the Navigation System is just so special. I have never driven a car that handles so well and feels so good under my hands. I have always had a Lincoln but this one far exceeds all the others. And so darn stylish. Great car. Take one for a ride, and you'll be hooked.

I traded in my 2006 Zephyr, and this car has some major improvements. I have 1250 miles on this vehicle and am not happy with gas milage. Have averaged 19.7 mpg with a 50% combination of Highway and around town driving. The interior leather and Dash have been upgraded and now feel like a car in the entry level Luxury Line. Engine is very responsive but there is some difficulty starting without a jerk. Seats are very comfortable and the leather is so much nicer then before. Ride is nt as soft as a Lexus but not bad. Some buttons are hard to reach and they are not placed conveniently. They all feel the same to touch. Engine is quiet. Rode noise is more then expected.

MKZ Sport, too much fun.

I have now owned my 2010 Black MKZ ultimate sport, for about 24 hours. It is a blast. I traded in my 2006 Zephyr, and this car is soo much more car than it was. I love every feature of this car. The ride is a little stiff with the sport package, but once the tire gloss is off of the tires it will be amazing. :-)
