If you're looking for a mid-size, middle-class, medium-priced sedan with trappings of luxury, then the 2012 Lincoln MKZ has your number. To its credit, the Lincoln MKZ offers a competent drivetrain wi
If you believe the design and construction of a luxury car begins with its platform, the Ford Fusion-based 2012 Lincoln MKZ may not be for you.
Despite the competence of the 2012 Lincoln MKZ sedan's Ford-Fusion underpinnings, it will likely not be confused with luxury cars that were engineered to that calling from the beginning. We like the V6 powertrain and its performance, and the 2012 MKZ certainly drives with competence and predictability, but other mid-size luxury entrants offer superior driving experiences. It's competent and smooth enough, if not exciting, and more enthusiastic drivers will undoubtedly shop for something else, while those who do test-drive and choose the MKZ wil

"Purchased the hybrid in 2012 when Lincoln was offering the hybrid at the same price as the conventional engine. Great gas mileage (42 on highway) highest 45 on 450 mile drive to visit grand kids. Well appointed interior. Nice styling.very comfortable long distance ride. Very quiet. Thicker glass and insulation means Very low road or wind noise. Heated and cooled seats are a big plus. Back up video and sensors are great. Can sense cars coming from 30 ft away on either side. Has blind spot sensors to warn you of vehicle that has passed into blind spots on either side. Very nice sound system with 10 speakers. Navigation system is easy to use. Read outs on dash help you get better mileage. Engine runs quiet, automatic seamless shifting from gas to electric mode. Terrific transmission with seamless shifting."

"Very recent purchase. Usually I have purchased new vehicles for performance, dependability, economy, reliability and most of all--price. This one was more of a treat for our retirement years, and this 2012 MKZ seems to fit the bill, and in addition-- the luxury aspect. With me it was always bare bones and way back when it was even 'radio delete'. I have to admit--for a 'base' model with a sunroof and 'chromed' (veneered) wheels we had a few days of studying this car to program and learn the bells and whistles. This thing is amazing. We hope it all continues to work like new and is as reliable as the other Ford products we own. Each one has their own purpose, and the MKZ is the dress-up and travel car. We gave it all nines and not all tens for 2 reasons: it's still very new and not proven at this time and the nature of of the human-built product (nothing is perfect). This machine fits the purpose for which it was purchased. We're satisfied."
