This guy's voice is awesome

Just got a 2011 MKZ AWD. I see why people think the MKZ looked too much like the Fusion sister, but for me the grill on the front is awesome. Yes the sides are pedestrian and while the taillights are cool with the LED bulbs and longer style the back still is Fusion. Where the MKZ steps up its game is the inside. The leather is crazy good and standard features like heated mirrors, auto dimming mirrors, heated/cooled seats, Sync, Bluetooth audio, and Blis. A course you can get this on the 2011 Ford Fusion but to me the Ford Fusion Sport is tacky with its center stack and its color leather. So is the Fusion worth the $35k base price new? No and neither is the 2014 MKZ, but used these cars become great value plays since they have so much tech in them and because Lincoln has high depreciation. On another note every likes to rag on Lincoln for being just a dressed up Ford but have they ever seen Acura? Yeah the TL is so much better than a HFP Accord, yeah right, or an ILX is better than a Civic Si? No!

I honestly love my mkz

I test drove a 2010 MKZ a few weeks ago. Pretty awesome torque. The power potential is pretty amazing for everyday driving. A great cruising car.

Time to build a custom Fusion/MKZ hybrid car! Same body style, platform…. So many interchangeable parts… surprised nobody has built up a custom car with the Milan’s, Fusions, and MKZs…. Having these doors ALONE, would look so dope on the Fusion

Such a great car! I actually do not mind that it shares is dna with the Fusion. Fusions are great cars, but Lincoln puts its luxuries into their cars and they are nice. At lest the Lincoln is more set apart from Ford than say mercury, which look identical to fords. Lincoln’s have a distinct and overall beautiful look.

@heartlessvietboy A BMW dealership's general manager is a friend of my family's, he told us that BMW stands for Buy More Warranty.

Nice, he said the map graphics were jaggy and the DVD playing previously was the TV show JAG.

I have a 2011 with AWD, and it's a very good car. Not spectacular in any way, but good at almost everything and great for winter driving in the northeast. I bought it because it had low mileage, was priced well under KBB, and was in great shape. If not for all that, there's really no reason not to get a similarly equipped Fusion for a good bit less. It's really the exact same car except for cosmetics.

@eduardolz31 idk if you've seen the new ones but they are built into the window trim now, not like the old taurus's.

@dzava I would definitely like that! Car manufacturers are very concerned about the looks of their cars from body style to color. However, they're very stodgy, at least in the US, in interior color offerings. Virtually every car is only available with a gray, beige, or black interior. And even at that, the black interior is typically marred by a gray ceiling liner. Then they mismatch the trim with the interior color. I definitely remember those awesome white caddy interiors! They were awesome!

@dzava Personally, I'd like to see car manufacturers offers wine red, navy blue, fern green, etc. on the interior colors. I think the interiors are what most cars are lacking at these days, particularly with the colors. Beige, gray, and black get really old after a while!

@jumboJetPilot Well Europeans still offer some of that... red leather interior or the blue used to be in old Mercedes Benz cars... I dont know whether it still is there but I guess yes. Ive always loved the classic white cadillac interior or beige or what was the colour

@313hotboi The ride as fantastic. Smoother than most it's competition.

can you get a computer chip for this vehicle? that would be quite nice. deciding between this and the 2011 buick regal turbo

@NitroGadvRules True.

Like a Buick forsure is old man car hands down . But this doesn't look like a old man car it looks pimp in my opinion

The pricing seems a bit off. You can get a MKZ with premium nav, moon roof, and all the goodies for about $37k ($2k rebate) right now w/o AWD. Honestly, you can do without AWD. 3 series with all that is $10k more than that.

I personally dont like Ford, but after this review, i am getting one for myself, and one for my wife too.

@jumboJetPilot yes thats true, but the Eldorado 72 or Linc MK IV... Id still buy this car just to drive it on sundays... 6 m long huge beast with 7.5 l engine... thats what I call America... even thoug Im European :)

When I see any Lincoln going down the road but in particular the MKZ the driver is so old it looks like they are in a hurry to get to the cementary.

🤣🤣🤣 I'm dead, I have an mkz

The heat and cool seats quit working. Dealer said it happens all the time. How about a recall!

I think I'll stick with my 73 Lincoln Mark IV

Lol it competes with BMW and Lexus ya what do you want to pay 40 to 50 grad for a BMW and then 2 years later drops in vale like crazy . Lincoln in my opinion for the price is not a bad deal at all. You can get a 2010 for user 20 grand with low kil

lol how'd they fuck up the rear? WHY?

@dzava I have to agree. However, Cadillac is making cars that are a lot more competitive than Lincoln.

JAG?

@Princejacksonluver You gotta' checkout the MKS, oneday! ;-)

I was only interested on this car because of THX

This car in dark looks like a maserati gran turismo

Down grade does look old man tho upgrade 100 percent worth he extra money

Trunk space?

@BklynJayL just use svt from ford.

Resale value is poor so it is a great buy used under warranty. Maybe around 24 grand now that the newer model is out.

someone should have got fired for the rear lamps the front is nice only the rectangular badge somehow does not fit between those two curved grills

because its cnet. Cnet is all about tech

This car is nice for the money. It rides better than a Fusion, too. We know because we have owned both. Ride is much nicer in the Lincoln. It is not a sports car but I don't want it to be and the seats are actually kind of soft compared to the hard board seats these crazy car makers are coming out with--not comfy on long drives! The THX is the best. Navigation is excellent. Demerits--shame on Lincoln for putting a cheap Honda Accord tilt/tele wheel and stick for hood!

@USA4July1776 DUDE! Obamamobiles, lol thats great! I agree though. GM and Chrysler, forget them. I'm sure the MKZ or the cheaper Fusion are very nice cars. Especially after watching this video.

Good luck getting a 328i for 41K with all of those options.

He didnt talk about ride quality.

i'd take this car over any german car, and i am german i have always gravitated to american cars.

If there’s anything more unreliable than an American vehicle, it’d be a European one, so I’ll cheers ya to that lol

I think, Lincoln needs to stop playing around and, dump a SCr'd 5.0 in the MKZ so, they can join the battle between, the CTS-V, AMG, BMW's M and, Audi's R! What Lincoln should call they're racing division..., not sure yet...but, I'm prettysure, it will be BADAZZ, for sure! ;-)

Lol... this guy sounds like Cave Johnson from portal 2.

not if you wanted full-size sedan

Honestly the Fusion is much more attractive.

@psu48187 328I has one MAJOR option of simply being a 1000 times better car...

@dzava dude, we dont like anything that theyre doing either. they keep putting this shit out cause they think we like it? but NOBODY DOES, everyone here complains too!

@eduardolz31 I don't think so. It's one of FoMoCo. trademarks. It's also a VERY good thing to have just in case, you lock those keys in there! Trust me..., you will do so, oneday because, I thought, i'd never will...and, to my surprise, I've did it! Lol.. Lucky enough, I kept the unlock code in my wallet. At first, I panic because, I thought, I left the code home and, thought to myself, there goes 100+ dollars for a locksmith! Smh.. It was a GREAT feeling to see that code in my wallet! Lol

@suckafreeG Dude, its CNET. CNET = Tech

YO WHAT?!

He made the car sound really nice, but I wouldn't pay 40k + for this Lincoln. The back of this car is hideous, the front is not much different, and all of the extra options are pure crap that one can get after market for a fraction of the price. Moreover, for that much money power on this car should be a lil more, or at least turbo charged. I rather get the Ford Fusion, much better styling, less money, and more bang for your buck; but that is just my opinion.

41k for lincoln loool no fuckin way

@thetaoofken BMW stands for Black Man's Wish

Blackberry hahah

I will take my jaguar over this any day

@heartlessvietboy im sad to say this is total B.S ive had a lincoln and ive seen the after math of this peice of shit company First hand. my Transmision went 2 times on a Brand new lincoin contental 2002 in less then 5 years and under 100 thousand miles 34thousand the first time Lincoin replaced my transmission on it the second time 2500 went out of my pocket at 56 thousand miles.i live in connecticut to be specific and we Have a lot of hills which my house was dead center on a hill I hate lin

This guy spends way too much time on the electronic systems, NAV, etc. who cares about that shit? It's a car review - not a computer review! So annoying!

What's with the chrome wheels and mirrors? They just look tacky... American cars look so ugly compared to German counterparts.

All I hear was bla bla bla this car sucks even the nav systeme but the blinf spot sensor ...

What a horrible review.... Just horrible.. I have a Lincoln Zephyr, and it rides so smooth even with less horse power than this car. This car is a beautiful upgrade and I will be purchasing the mkz in the future. Don't listen to this guy... The navigation system is just that.. A navigation system. I rather use that than to not have anything at all. This guy needs to stop making good cars sound boring. The mkz will last you years of service if you treat it right. That includes using premium gas (optional) fuel treatments (Lucas fuel treatments for low and high mileage cars upon filling the gas tank every gas station visit) and oil stabilizers (Lucas oil stabilizers for both low and high mileage cars every time you change your oil just replace one quart of oil with Lucas oil stabilizer) to keep your car in great shape even after 200k miles. This guy just made it sound like it's an OK or decent at best car... From the horse power to the navigation system.. But what do I know lol I'm not a tech guy... I don't have a blackberry either lol

What an ugly car.!

No offense americans, but your cars look hideous in these days. Where are those big block huge cars with classic american interior with transmission under the steering wheel and big speedometers? If I had to buy this piece of china looking crap, Id rather go for the european brands...

Ugly car
