cooley reviews are always the best

Things Cooley forgot to mention 1.This is a hybrid luxury car, so how is the interior compared to Lexus,Acura,BMW,Audi,Merc 2.As its a Hybrid, does it deliver the mpg as stated 3.Ride quality is pretty good, how good, give us a measuring stick comparison with Germans and Japanese as benchmarks From my experience of driving MKZ 2.0 ecoboost AWD Although I love Ford cars and I liked its design of MKZ in flesh where it its sure to turn heads, the total experience was not great,sure it felt better than a Acura but no way near as good as BMW,Mercedes the 2.0 turbo had enough power but the transmission is lazy to downshift the average mpg over a 40 mile course was 22 mpg combined Actually controversial to what Cooley tells, the steering was a lot better than what Acura,Audi,Cadillac has to offer much more feel and was accurate but at higher speeds(above 90 mph) it felt like over wight Ride quality was very good but not as good as BMW 3 series,Lexus, but way better than Acura and almost equal to Audi A4, the Mercedes C class was stiffer than Lincoln the interior quality was at best equal to what an Acura has, the paddle shifters were made of ugly plastics,there were scratchy plastics at certain unnecessary spots The rear seat room was very low compared to BMW,LEXUS,ACURA, it was a tad lesser than Mercedes C Class and A4 as well Ford has lot of work to do with Lincoln, as of now its not going to appeal to some one who has really felt the comfort and luxury of Germans and Japanese, also points out to the weakness of American engineering over European and Japanese American engineers are still no way near as good as Germans and Japs, Hope they will bring on Aluminium revolution to all Lincoln cars, that and that only can save Lincoln

Wow lincoln really decided to up the ante with this car!

i love my mkz hybrid. Its a 2015 base model. I bought it new. I have had no issues with it and it has 70k miles now. Everything he is saying here is true except the gas mileage. I have never reset the MPG meter on mine since i bought it. I live in an area with almost no hills. Climate is moderate and my commute is about 70% highway/30% city. I dont have a heavy foot.. The best mileage I can get out of it is 36 mpg. Still very good for the size of a car it is. The best part is, when gas prices were low, I was paying only about 25 dollars a month to fill it up!

Oy...If I wake up five years from now and Lincoln is gone I would not be surprised.

I think this car looks great. If I wanted a luxury car I'd probably go for a Lincoln or Cadillac because they are still great looking and reliable vehicles without paying the huge price of BMW and Audi.

Good and honest review Cooley!

The 129 lb/ft of torque is only from the gas engine, Ford doesn't quote a combined torque.

5:38 go home cooley your drunk

HAIL HYDRA!

For that much $ I DO NOT want a plastic interior.

For the first time, I don't agree what Cooley said in the video. Of course Lincoln has gotten many places need to work on. But, when you compare to German premium big 3 and GM Cadillac. Lincoln hybrid is the cheapest one you can get. BMW Hybrid 3: $49900 Mercedes E400 Hybrid: $56700 Audi doesn't have hybrid sedan Cadillac ELR: $75000 How much is Lincoln Hybrid? $36000 At this price range, I think Lincoln hybrid has it's market place. It is a good looking car from inside to outside, ride quality is ok to most people. At least, I have no problem with it. I have tested drive once, it's good to me, too bad I went for Fusion Hybrid, because of the price. If I have $10000 more I probably will go for Lincoln. I am not gonna consider smaller BMW Hybrid 3, over priced E400. At last ELR? Are you kidding me? It is pretty much a Chevy Volt, Anyone pays $75000 has no sense of logic. Save $30000, get a Volt, you can travel the world for once

Did he do a review on the V6??????

Where's the Hydrogen assisted model ?

Nice

I'm debating between the MKZ Hybrid & the Lexus CT200h Hybrid, any suggestions?

Lincoln wanted to use the new Mustang as the chassis for new Lincolns, so I am sure Ford just said sorry use the Fusion/Focus body.

My God, that incessant reving and rpm shift is atrocious. How in the world did that ever get the green light?

gotta say this thing looks very nice, saw 1 or 2 locally and it's a head turner for sure, everything else about it though is just meh (the full gas panaramic glass is cool though)

Great video, however the in-car camera's need to be improved. A lot of the video shot in car by mounted cameras are not clear at all and detract from the video as a whole

rear view camera comes standard.

I'd take the 2.0T

This car looks very imposing on the highway!

Jetta hybrid seems like the better thought out power train

Brian you left out the new Focus 2015 does not use the old crappy MyTouch screen. I got my 2012 Focus with MySync and Ford sucks updating Microsoft hardware. It does NOT have Sync AppLink but the 2012 Fiesta n 2013 Focus does. Ford pulled the 2.0 update off there website so 2012 owners are screwed. The new MyTouch 2.0 was totally redesigned. I might spend the money and have my Ford dealer replace my Sync with the new Touch 2.0 if it is bug free, otherwise nah.

Or you could get a Fusion titanium which is thousands cheaper but looks more expensive.

Opinion wise, but you see lots of Fusions so it kind of doesn't look that expensive if EVERYONE is driving it :P

I disagree. Black is incredible - my coworker has a black one he gets compliments all the time. I am female & have a baby blue one - just love it. The open eagle wings in the front & the styling in the back is so unique - nothing like it, nothing even remotely close to how good the back looks on a sedan.😎

I have had this car for 6 months now. He is just talking nonsense about the transmission. If you are not heavy footed you will always have enough electric power to deliver a smooth acceleration. I had multiple people who did not believe this was a hybrid with 2l engine after going through 0-40 accelerations. Mostly becase electric motor does assist when you need power and the car is really quiet despite the CVT.This car is not meant to travel fast. You accelerate smoothly and slowly upto speed limit and let the electric motor deliver that 42MPG like I have got.

It's definitely a looker.

Publisher's Clearing House is planning to give away this car, fully loaded I think, along with $2 Million, and $10,000 per month for life on June 30, 2014. I doubt that would happen, because when they tried to give away money for life, such as $1,000,000 a year Forever, they couldn't find an "Early Look" to see the matching numbers.

clean the camera sensor to remove the spots

wish he went into the interior a bit more but maye there wasnt much to say

Ya, I agree with him, it's showing age already

한국인의 체형도 갈수록 서구형으로 변화를 하고 있지만 한국산 자동차는 아직도 호빗을 기준으로 만들고 있는 건 아닐까요?

looks way too much like a fusion (coming from a current gen fusion owner). except for the lack of a shift lever, the interior is almost identical. speakers on the doors, door locks, door pulls, dash, screen, instrument panel, steering wheel... aka everything you'll ever actually touch... looks and feels just like it does on the fusion. considering the price of this car starts where the fusion tops out, i think you'd be nuts to buy this over a fully loaded fusion unless you have more money than sense... in which case you wouldn't be considering either of these two cars. doesn't surprise me that the car doesn't sell well... $40,000+ is a lot for any car, and people aren't gonna pony up that kinda cash unless it feels expensive. this one just doesn't. still, definitely looks nice. but when was the last time anybody ever called the current gen fusion ugly...

“Current gen” is trash compared to this. If even take the fusion over “current gen”

Well, Third, if it matters!

The only American luxury cars I would buy would be the Chrysler 300c SRT8 or the jeep grand Cherokee

The Fusion Hybrid looks far better and costs less.

Lmao this was the hybrid. Why did he not just review the V6? The interior on the MKZ is killing the competitors. See it in person if you don't believe me.

Absolutely no reason to get this over a fusion hybrid... Where's the luxury as opposed to a regular fusion, or any other hybrid. Yeah it looks pretty good, but looks to fall short compared to the competition.

Honestly the exterior on this car is nice but it feels like this is flopped like the Fusion should have had the Lincoln MKZs exterior and the MKZ have the Fusions exterior...

Who honestly wants to go fast quickly in a hybrid. It'd be nice but not the main reason to get one...

You only buy a hybrid for speed if it is a Porsche 918, which you could not afford but it also gets 70mpg+.

Exactly most hybrids are bought because of their mpg not 0-60. I'm sure this thing has no problem merging on to highways or passing. The reviewer made it seem like Lincoln is known for performance, when they're not at all...

It's not about going fast as its about reaponse for merging or initial acceleration. They could employ the motor to assist with demand until the vehicle gets up to desired speed like most other hybrids do with no fuel consumption penalty.

If your looking for a hwy Car? Don't buy a hybrid.. Its Not Designed for that.. Local and City driving only..

The front end still looks ugly. I have a 2012 Focus sedan and the Fusion does not look much different than it.

That engine note makes me cringe!

Ford needs to kill the Lincoln brand. The Ford Fusion is still the better car. Better design. Better driver engagement. Better price. Better everything.
