      I just got the 3.0T AWD with every single option, except it's Reserve instead of Black Label. To be honest, the multicontour seats are not the best and though the power is great, the 2.0T AWD has plenty of torque. The #1 must have option is the Technology Package, but my favorite one is the Panoramic Roof.

      They should just make it with the hybrid 3.0TT and AWD, they don't have a good RWD platform and it's debatable if they could use the Mustang's. The 2020 Aviator either has or at one point was planned to have 595hp and even more torque using that set up.

But, if you want something similar to the MKZ shown here, I’d go with the Cadillac ct6 AWD 3.0turbo v6 platinum. I absolutely love that car for a sedan. Or, you could go fir the Lincoln aviator as a crossover. It’s even faster than this baby and has great luxury features! Those are my top 2 right now.

    Test drove the 3.0 MKZ and really liked it. I think it compares favorably with the cars in the lower end of its price range (i.e. 35-40K) but is punching above its weight class when you start piling on enough options to get into the 50-65K range. I wound up buying a Genesis G80, but the MKZ was on my short-list. Great car.

      Lincoln is certainly letting Cadillac know it is observing their customers with new products but Cadillac is still a step above Lincoln in terms of sport/luxury/performance with V-series. But Lincoln has reconstructed itself to rival Cadillac quite well especially with Continental and MKZ and the new Navigator. Look out Cadillac!

    • @mattmolloy636
      @mattmolloy636 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Matt Doyle the ATS-V doesn't compete with this car, it competes with something like a BMW M3. And in that case, I would prefer the M3. Cadillac makes some of the most unreliable cars around, and they're rated worse than MB at this point. Meanwhile, Lincoln is striving to compete with Lexus as an American alternative for reliability. The Cadillacs are also cheaply put together with sub par quality interiors, while this car is the polar opposite of that.
      I would take anything over a Cadillac, because I like not feeling like I was taken for a ride by the dealership because I bought a POS. I drive a Lexus, and I could see myself deviating from them to give Lincoln a shot.

    • @MrTblackmon
      @MrTblackmon 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      When you said "Cadillac makes some of the most unreliable cars around" what do you specifically mean?
      "The Cadillacs are also cheaply put together with sub-par quality interiors." I greatly opposed this sentiment because Cadillac art-and-science design language went through great lengths to ensure quality was met with hand-stitched and crafted leather with the finest authentic woods made available.
      I am not saying Lincoln doesn't build cars with confidence levels of competing with tier-two brands but Cadillac is a step above Lincoln in all most every level in part of sport-oriented driving cars, luxury appointments that are apparent, and the craftsmanship that is compelling to know it is a Cadillac beyond all else.

    a good friend has the last year of the last front grill, I think 2015. He ordered a new 2014 with a V6 3.7 in a black label and the salesperson made a mistake and ordered it in a 4 banger. She told him he would love it and he told her he wouldn't and wanted a V6, so also while he was thinking about it , he decided against the Black Label, anyway the 2014 was out of production by this time ( April 2014) so he wound up with a 2015 with a 3.7.
    he is very happy with it

    I got the Fusion Sport. I like the looks better than the MKZ. The MKZ is definitely more of a sleeper though. There are tunes out already for the Fusion Sport that might put it on par with the MKZ 3.0 TT out of the box. Not sure I want to tune my Sport though. It's plenty fast for me.

    2017 Ford Taurus SHO has all the same features including the back window power shade for about 10k less. SHO comes with 365HP 3.5L EB AWD that can easily be boosted to 450 HP with an inexpensive tune, and CAI. Fastest car I've ever drove on the street. 0-60 in low 5s and more torque than you will ever need.

    I've had a base model 2016 MKZ with the 2.0 engine for a bit over two and a half years. Mine is the Premier model, it is black with a black interior. The only option was slightly larger, polished aluminum wheels. I'm not associated with Ford, or any car company or dealer. Here's my thoughts:
    Overall, the MKZ is an incredible car. I've made several cross country trips and put about 24K miles without any problems. It's quiet and comfortable. The number of included "toys" (even in the base model) will keep your inner-geek happy as the miles go by. And I've been really happy with the mileage as those miles go by - combined city/highway mileage since I've owned the car is 29.5 mpg and I run regular gas - not premium.
    As far as the power train goes... The 2.0 engine is a great match for this car. I've never felt like the car was under-powered at all. In fact, it has quite a bit of spunk. Don't get me wrong, it's not a Corvette, but I've been very happy with it. But adding the 3.0 engine requires the top trim level - Reserve and the 4 wheel drive option. In all, this adds $10,635 to the base $35,600 price. And while that option adds even more toys... But then I watched the expression on your face every time you accelerated. Guess I'll have to drive one. But the point is, you'll be happy with the base 2.0 engine in the MKZ.
    I've heard some criticize the quality of the interior. I've been very pleased with the design and quality of the interior. It has a unique "arty" feel that I like. The back seat is a reasonable size - no one has complained to me. The controls on my center dash are very arty looking electronic slide switches. They look very cool, but its SO easy to press the wrong buttons. But I see they've changed this in the new models to a more traditional console. Not sure how I feel about it.
    As far as the overall styling goes, I love the look of this car. So many cars look the same these days. To me, the interior and exterior both make a statement. I wasn't too sure about the new front grill introduced in 2017, but it has grown on me.
    At this point, I am 6 months away from a new car. I'm considering another MKZ, or maybe a Cadillac ATS or CTS. But the ATS, while similar in price, is quite small. The CTS is equivalent in size but starts out $10K higher. Putting 10K of options into an MKZ gets you a pretty deluxe ride.
    But then there's that 3.0 option, too...

    Lincoln (Ford) make some great cars. My first car was a Lincoln Zephyr 2007 (The predecessor to the MkZ) and it ran smooth felt like a tank and very comfortable. That car sells for about $5k now and is a bargain for anyone who needs a reliable car. I have since "upgraded" to a 2011 Lincoln MkZ and it just gets better. Higher quality parts can feel the sturdiness of the doors.

    I have the 2016 MKZ with the 3.7L. Sometimes, I wish I had waited a year, but I am pretty happy with it. The only real annoyance that I have is that the seat cooling does not seem to reach up the back. The bottom cushion will feel like I am sitting on an ice cube, but the back will still be hot.

    I came across your older video on the 2017 MKZ. I think that's one of the most beautiful sedans on the market. Now I hear Ford will stop it's sales in the US. I think the Fusion and the MKZ along with the Continental should remain. I have been shopping for a low mileage 2017-18 MKZ. A 2017 reserve AWD with the base 2.0 EcoBoost (I'm wanting the V6 TT) has an avg price around $24,000 (21,000 miles). Even with the base engine. The burgundy MKZ I'm looking at is simply a beautiful luxury sedan. Thanks for the very helpful past video.

    @devongee1776 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Glad Lincoln is finally modernizing their lineup. I'm still not too huge on the rear end but the front is starting to look a lot like the new continental which is a good thing for damn sure. Also, the side profile makes no attempt to make the sedan look sporty or appeal to my generation of buyers in the mid-size segment. Is it cool that it's a sleeper? Probably to some but I certainly wouldn't mind seeing something happen with the back end to at least give it the *appearance* of being sleeker. Chrome around the windows hurts it a lot imo.

    Have to ask a question. I get that the 17 MY version of the MKZ is quicker and handles better, but what about the luxury aspect of the driving experience? Is it quiet in the interior at highway/interstate speeds? What kind of tires are OEM with the 3.0 TT? Do they transmit road noise? What about irregular pavement feedback? I'm looking for a ride quality in addition to the luxury look and feel of the interior with these performance attributes.

    Had one, traded it on a RAV 4. First off, so low to the ground that the air dam in front acts as a snow plow, building up snow under the front until you get to the point you are stuck in your own driveway. Great if all the streets are plowed. The high tech headlights. There are no fog lights and the high tech lights are so bright people coming towards you think you have your high beams on even when they are on low beams. With no fog lights there is no way they can really see you switched the lights. Ate gas like crazy. I got 16 mpg at its best, driving like a little old man. My RAV4 his higher, does not get stuck in my own drive way, has fog lights and gets 35 mpg.
