Scotty whats your take on Porsche releasing the Porsche Taycan so late in the E-Vehicle game with a high pricetag
Does the 2012 Lincoln MKZ get the Scotty seal of approval?
RU🏫💙
Rough engine for a Lincoln. I’ve driven these and they are small and too low to the ground to get into and out of for people who are 6’ or more like me. Cheap.
I am glad that Scotty yelled at me at the end of the video. For a couple of minutes, I was worried that I was watching the wrong TH-cam channel.
Me too, lol. Like, where the hell is the cat in the background?
You’d be surprised the kind of thing you’d be glad about when the situation arises 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah lincolns are a bit underrated imo
They're Fords done right.
Acura:..... oh hello
My dads Lincoln navigator is the nicest Lincoln in my town because no body else takes care if those cars
Their interiors are way ahead of their time
@@adotintheshark4848 they're Fords*
They largely suffer from all the same issues other Fords suffer from especially in their electrical system. Not bad cars but far from being "Fords done right".
My wife has this car. She sits in bumper to bumper traffic for hours each day in comfort. 70,000 miles so far and only regular maintenance, except for a warranty issue on the hood due to paint imperfections. 37 MPG.
Honda quality paint? What are we talking here?
There was a dime sized bubble in one spot, and some bubbling and flaking along the edge of the hood near the windshield. We are now see flaking on the edges of the doors.
@moreno valley news first Wont get that with Toyota I've had two 200k mile Toyotas.
@moreno valley news first What car?
@moreno valley news first Cool, takes a little good luck cause parts still fail. Like 06 Rav4 coils would go bad or 08 Camry abs module.
This Guy: I really like my Lincoln
Scotty: Get a Lexus
I'm always impressed at how well people film their cars for these segments. Great job man!
Devil's Oven Mitts yeah except for that part where the video was blurred!
People don’t realize that Lincoln come from a era where smooth riding was what matters !!
I do!
@@mikeh8228 I’m saving $5K down, so I can buy this car someday
I heard Scotty’s middle name is Toyota 👀
Is Scotty Japanese?
I think he’s dirty knees
Scotty Toyota Kilmer. Huh, how convenient that would be.
@@asdfghjqwertyu1858 I guess he's German, kilmer is a German name
Well, he pronounce it "Toyoda", which is correct!
I actually had the pleasure of driving this exact model year back when I worked at a dealership. It's actually one of the most underrated luxury cars I've ever gotten behind the wheel of. My only complaints were A) The push button automatic trans, and B) as the guy said, those silly touch sensitive controls... I wound up embarrassing myself on a test drive with a customer trying to show them off... Accidentally brushed against the volume after adjusting the fan speed and practically deafened the both of us. Beyond that it's an absolutely wonderful drive if you're looking for commuter/comfort/road trip cars.
(two years later I replied) I *_loved_* the push button transmission in the two I had. I agree, it was an extremely underrated car - and I'm not a Ford guy. I'm sorry I didn't keep my last one.
*( My brother has one just like it. Unfortunately, me being 6'3", this ride was extremely uncomfortable, as my head literally hits the headliner while riding either shotgun, or on the back seat. But, 100k miles later, he still has had zero issues out of it. )*
I'm shorter than you and still have lots of headroom problems in cars. Do you find other classes of vehicles better (trucks, SUV's, etc.), or is it pretty much hit and miss?
Wouldnt happen in my 1990 ls400😏
I have a 14 and I have 100k plus on it and STILL NO PROBLEMS lol
They are solid cars, that Hybrid powertrain is good for 300k miles, just ask the cab drivers with Fusion Hybrids
I'm 6'1'' and have plenty more room than 2'', you ever try...Idk reclining the seat some ?
Have trouble staying awake in this car! It’s the most comfortable quiet ride I’ve been in. Have the 2013 model and I still get complements as of this morning. No problems and just hit over 100k!

How much you be driving👀
My brother in law has had 2 consecutive Lincolns. Reliable. Smooth, cross country machine. Good looks in and out. Comfortable. Probably buys a 3rd.👍.
Hey, MKZers - I need to replace my tires on mine soon - I live in Arizona where heat is the big issue. Which tires would you all recommend? I have the Continental tires on her right now.🌵😎✌🏽
I had a fully loaded 14' MKZ, v6, AWD
It was awesome, but had to trade in for larger vehicle.
I miss that car, it was a beast, and the leather was amazing...
How would you have rated it for reliability? Im looking at one with 103k miles
@@nickcloutier6436'14-'16 are good. '17-'20 go with the Hybrid or 3.0 V6
@@nickcloutier6436 SO RELIABLE - I have a 2014 - only routine maintenance so far! Love my car & still get compliments on it.
I drove a loner one of these for almost 2 week while my F150 awaited a recall part from a Ford plant that had a fire. 2.0 liter turbo was as fast a big V-6 and it delivered 34 mpg average, handled, steered, stopped, cruised in comfort great! And so comfortable for my 6'4" large frame body! I can't get into a Infinity, Lexus or other luxury car without banging my head on the roof even with the seat all the way back!
Bill Kerstein exactly. It’s very roomy. I’m 6’2” I think and I use this car with the 3.7 for rideshare. It’s so comfortable. Lincoln did a really good job. If you thought the 2.0 was quick the 3.7 is even better and sounds like a V8 :)
I have an MKC, it’s great, so far it’s been pretty damn reliable, my first car was a MKT ecoboost. From my experience Lincoln doesn’t get enough credit for its reliability, I had the MKT in my family from new to 75k miles with no problems, now my MKC has 60k and no major problems. We now have several Lincoln’s in the family... they are great!!
I am thinking of buying a Lincoln mkc, what do you recommend?
E Zamora look for a Certified Pre Owned 2015-2019 MKC. If you stick to the “lower” trim model called the “Premiere” you can get a great value. I got my 2017 MKC last December with 10k miles for $21,000. It was $34,000 brand new. So far I haven’t had one single issue and i’ve been driving it a lot due to work. It’s the perfect amount of “luxurious” for me. It’s nice and comfy without being too much. Overall very happy with the car. And my fiance loves it too.
I’m looking at a 2016 MKZ 2.0T with 130k miles on it. Carfax shows great service history at nothing but Ford dealerships. Shows engine belts replaced at 125k miles. California car and Mercedes dealership wants $9900. What do think?
@@marzzgli1278 got it ?
@@marzzgli12784 cylinders twin turbos aren't reliable. Go with the MKZ MKZ Hybrid or 3.0 V6
I got a 2010 lincoln mks in 2018
She runs beautifully
Minimum maintenance required
Overall i love my car
12 years old now and still runs like a new car
Appreciate this post , I’m lookin at Lincoln now
Those MKZ are solid vehicles. I don't mind looking for a used one in a few years. They got the same powertrain as the Fusion Hybrid which is a common taxi vehicle in many cities and have no problems getting 300k miles.
Don’t buy one with the 3.5 or 3.7. They are well known for an expensive water pump repair because it’s driven by the timing chain.
How’s the 2.0T eco boost? Are they pretty reliable?
@@marzzgli1278 I have one - 2014 with 72,000 miles. I haven’t had even one problem - just oil changes, new tires & recent recommended fluid changes at 70k. Love this car - plan to keep until she completely wears out - betcha it will be another decade, LOL. Love the 40mpg+ now that gas is so outrageous.
@@marzzgli1278 Don’t buy one from 2017-20.
@@marzzgli1278go with the Hybrid
I've always been into Lincolns and I own a Town Car myself. They've done some good things recently but nothing can replace the old land yachts of the day
The panther platform was really the benchmark if I am correct. The last generation of the town car, ltd, marquis and Continental were all supposed to be reliable and comfy.
Man, I bought a 1997 Towncar in 2011, and the ride was smooth as butter.
Ruling out, say the air suspension or whatever, are the old 2 door Mark 7 & 8 a considered reliable & inexpensive to maintain? Or are there more costly issues underneath?
@@schwenda3727 I've asked about the air suspension but mechanics have told me they weren't a common problem.
@@schwenda3727 1997 MK8 here. Air suspension did fail at 110000. Due to lack of funds & research time had a conventional suspension put in. Major problem are the lights, specifically the rear light bar/brake light & head lights never were supported by Sylvania or Ford.
The head lights must be also converted if you can't find a match replacement. That rear light bar has no known fasr repair & is usually left broken on 97s & 98s Mark 8s. Sad because it was beautiful when it worked.
Engine & transmission are strong. Just some of the interior electronics can be hard to nail down. Air bag light has been on for many years but Ford claims not to carry the sensor to repair.
In short, no the last generation Marks are Not Daily Drivers! But they are beautiful weekend toys that can be fun IF you don't mind the following: 1. Working on them yourself 2. Ford pretending they never made the car & giving you zero support. Basturds.
The dashboard is exactly the same as in my 2016 Ford Edge
Yes in the hybrid not the other models. They get an actual tachometer
Because both this Lincoln MKZ and your Ford Edge are based on the Ford Fusion.
@@MasterJim2020 Thank You
Shocking
Both POS cars.
Thanks for the informative video. I can proudly back this gentleman and his opinion. I own a 14 3.7 mkz and it's the smoothest ride I've ever experienced. Bought the car drove it from Chicago to Indianapolis and wanted to keep driving because I didn't experience a lick of driving fatigue.
Nice!
These are actually very nice cars. I drive cars for a living and was very impressed by this car.
It is - mine is a 2014 & all I have done is oil changes & new tires. Just got the fluids changed as part of the recommended maintenance. The 42mpg is great with gas being so ridiculous. When I need to crank up the aircon it is 32mpg.
Would be nice to have Scotty give his opinion of the car either before or after!
By hosting this video, and NOT disagreeing with the fellow, Scottie has given HIS OPINION!
Scotty has said several times avoid all American twin turbo motors. They have carbon issues cam and phaser issues and the turbos cost 4-7k to replace. Complete junk
I thought Mathew McConaughey was going to be in a Scotty Kilmer video.
i like that lincoln car. looks so modern and elegant.
Goal in life is to be different? My suggestions:
1) don't worry about what you drive
2) don't get tattoos
3) get married to a person of the opposite sex and stay married
Just do these things and you'll be as rebellious as any '70s punk was in the UK.
How about multiple wives?
@@michaelgrant5258 ones already enough of a pain in the neck
@@michaelgrant5258 That means multiple mothers-in-law.
Currently im saving money to get this beautiful car😍😍🥰✊🏾
Well spent, we just got the 2020 Hybrid Reserve with all options, last of the breed, Mu ywife love her car, her second.
For comfort I would take a used Lincoln over a used BMW or Mercedes-Benz any day. It’s just cheaper to own a Lincoln. maintenance is cheaper, parts are cheaper and they don’t require any special procedures or resets for simple repairs like a 12v battery replacement. Some European products require a trip to the dealer which can cost hundreds of dollars to replace the battery, but you go anywhere and buy a battery for a Lincoln. (I’m not referring to the lithium hybrid units but 12v cranking..) Some cars I’d buy new, others I’d buy used..
We own one and ITS AMAZING we put 180k kilometers and the luxuries that come with it is amazing
I keep telling everyone, I used to dislike these MKZs, but after driving countless of these, and having sat and even slept in one, these are comfortable as hell
Like a ford fusion but nicer I dig it !!! Our daughter drives a fusion with 250k on it still going and has been farely reliable but that Lincoln looks alot more comfortable!!!👍
Far much better looking than any Caddy
That's a huge top piece of glass lol
Yeah screw the auto journalists that car is a beaut
I'M MR LINCOLN, ALL MY 3 CARS I EVER OWNED ARE ALL LINCOLNS

@@donhurst8459 MY HERO
I have the same mkz in black.. 100k plus and no issues yet.. . just oil changes and scheduled maintenance
U haven't lived.
Don Hurst not funny!!!
I have a 2014 MKZ 2.0 AWD. It’s a really nice car. Presently, I have 132,000 miles and it runs fantastic. Hopefully, this car will run for a really long time. If it doesn’t, I wouldn’t hesitate, to buying another one.
Yeah it’s a Ford Fusion I just bought a 2017 Ford Fusion Sport 2.7L EcoBoost V6, with the electronic dampening for potholes they used starting in 2017 40K miles great deal I’ll take care of this car for years, it’s a really fun and great car. Now they discontinued it with the regular Fusions, what a sleeper. I’m sure @Scotty Kilmer will think it’s a POS but that’s okay. 🙂
36 here and i owned a new MKZ in your trim but blue. I got THE LOOKS w/ that thing. I miss it. It was so choice. After the lease was up i turned it in and ive not bought a new car sense moving to Motorcycles. I now have 5! Bought a 2005 Buick Park Ave Ultra Special Edition which is THE BOMB. So smooth and i only paid 10k for it w/ 60k on it. Looks and drives like new. My next car is another Lincoln. I miss the brand and the new models are sweeet.
Thank you Yad and Scotty, a few years ago I noticed an MKZ in my neighborhood, it's exhaust note caught my attention. Since I drive a 4.6 L Grand Marquis, and love it's comfort and power on long road trips, I wondered how a smaller Lincoln would compare. BTW, my Grand Marquis is about 15 years old now, is currently running an average of 24 - 26 mpg over the mountains in Colorado and flat-out West Texas terrain at 75-80 mph. It is currently at ~89,000 miles on the odometer. Best used car I ever paid cash for. I'll be considering a used MKZ if something ever happens to my car.
Only 89k on your Grand Marquis? You haven’t even broken her in yet. I had a 2000 Grand Marquis with over 190,000 miles and no issues. She drove like a dream, sold her when I joined the army.
@@mattm9689 Your big mistake!
Go for it
I have lincoln mkS not mkZ but still runs great even it has 180K miles since 2013
E D they’re huge money pits! Get a Celica instead!
I have a 2019 Fusion Titanium 2.0l awd. One of the reasons I bought it was my research showed it shared the Lincoln platform, but less expensive to buy. And yes, it looks, handles and drives great compared to the Toyotas ,Hondas, etc. I also looked at and drove.
I have a 2008 Camry Hybrid that's been super reliable 185K. A friend has a Fusion Hybrid and told me it's been reliable. So I'm debating if I should go with a 2018 MKZ Hybrid 9K miles $24K or 2018 Tesla Model 3 40K $30K. Leaning towards the MKZ although I love how the Tesla handles the road and the performance.
I absolutely love my MKZ. 2016 2.0T AWD Black Label here.
Scotty please! Info on the Toyota Venza 2009 - 2017.
Those can be decent cars, but nothing beats 1994 4 cylinder Celica.
My sister bought one seven years ago, so far no issues.
Wheel bearings galore. My brother has a 2009 venza and at least 4 front wheel bearings have been replaced.
Father in law owned one with about 205km and had computer issues (one day car wouldn't start). But problem seemed to have fixed itself. Alas, he sold it so that he doesn't have to deal with it. Gorgeous interiors, for the price, though!
Dammit - now the market value for these will go up. I was waiting for another 2 years to purchase one. The best kept secret and value of the Ford/Lincoln line-up
You better check the resale value. They drop faster than Superman with a pocket full of Kryptonite.
MKZ, MKC, MKX All very underrated and can be steals of a deal. I had the privilege of driving an MKC as a loaner while the dealer was working on a car I had bought. Very impressive.
Any of these cars with the 3.5, 3.5 EcoBoost, or 3.7 is junk unless it’s a RWD model like the F-150, Mustang, Transit, or Expedition/Navigator. Avoid FWD Duratec 3.5/3.7 and 3.5 EcoBoost V6 at all costs because of the stupid timing chain driven water pump.
@@atx-cvpi_99 Junk? My 2014 drives like a dream & all I have had to do is routine maintenance & a new set of tires. That’s not not ‘junk’ to me.🤔
I had a 2008 Lincoln MKZ...caused me nothing but problems...wheel bearings, spark plugs, new head unit, new rims, moon roof broke...I had to make sure it sealed properly by hand, AC problems...I ended up junking it for 700 bucks last month when the water pump went out and the mechanic said it also needed a new timing kit. It had 110K miles on it and the fix would have cost me $2400. I'm avoiding ford and lincoln based on that experience.
Have a MKZ in black with the open roof option. Love this car. It gets lots of looks.
My granddad said too much luxury makes you soft and you'll die sooner. He lived through 2 world wars and the great depression and lived to be 98. He lived out in the country in a house he bought before WW2 that didn't have electricity or running water, (he got that from a well) and he walked everywhere when he was too old to drive anymore, never used a walker or cane either so he speaks from experience.
That is dumb. Being lazy makes you soft.
I dont know what you're talking about with this car not handling well or cheap interior. I have a 2016 mkz awd and it handles very well. The air ride system is flawless. If it isn't fast enough its really easy and inexpensive to get it tuned to be fast but you'll sacrifice mpg. I also have a 2020 benz c class well equipped and it just sits in the garage because the lincoln honestly rides better.
I have a 2013 3.7 mkz with 115k miles... love it
how is it now? im looking at a 2013 mkz with 35000 miles for 10k. should i pull the trigger?
Well it's a great looking car for sure. I like the guy's philosophical approach trying to avoid the tyranny of the popular. Dare to be different. ;)
heymisterderp Thankyou
I have an 09 MKS that I got at 50k miles, it just hit 177k miles and rides like a dream.
I was really hoping to hear Scotty's take on this vehicle from a mechanics perspective! The nuisances & the reliability issues! I do agree that it is a nice looking vehicle & very stylish but with Lincoln's history I'm curious about it's maintenance?
I have the 2014 LINCOLN MKZ and have had no problems with it. I have always been a FORD product owner and my LINCOLN is the epitome of class and luxury I love.
The only luxury car scotty would approve is the Toyota Avalon/Lexus ES
Or I think at least almost all of the Lexus lineup.
I wonder what he felt during the TATA airbag fiasco with all Toyotas and Lexus🤔🤔??
His last video was a Honda nsx
Those are really fine cars, but the Lincoln pretty good especially for the price of a late model 1. Plus, as he said, it's something a little different.
Probably why he didnt have a intro for this wacky Wednesday and it went straight to the guy talkin bout his lincoln😄
I own a 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium. Turbo engine with all the whistles and bells. Best car I've ever owned.
Beautiful color!!😍
I got that, but with the 3.7L cyclone V6, fantastic engine at 300hp from the mustang and I can still fit sheets of plywood in theback, I love the touch controls too.
Sheets of plywood?

I think Lincoln is crushing it with their new lineup, the aviator, amazing.
my best friend has the vehicle and has had no problems. it is totally reliable. I have the 2013 lincoln Mkt. I've driven it 324,312.7 miles and hasn't had one problem.
LOVE Lincoln’s!
My first was a 2001 V8 rear wheel drive....I loved it....wish they would consider bringing it back...
I now have a MKZ ....great car too.
I had been considering an Audi but after the LUXURY of my Lincoln’s it’s difficult to trade down to a German interior LOL... they aren’t exactly known for their luxury or taste.
how is it now? im looking at a 2013 mkz with 35000 miles for 10k. should i pull the trigger?
The 3.7 police engine was an option on these cars makes them pretty quick.
To bad these engines had timing chain driven water pumps that would leak in to the oil if bad enough. Stupid design…🤦🏽♂️
I'd actually give this Lincoln a second look IF they put power to the rear wheels AS GOD AS INTENDED.
I think they might have AWD
AWD is an option, good luck getting a luxury sedan with RWD
I have a 2014 MKZ hybrid I got used for $15,000 and feel like a got a good deal especially the way the market is currently
Indeed.
How was the purchase?
My neighbor's have Lincolns and they really catch my eye. I need comfort in my older days now. Was also looking at the Genesis.
On the interior, they could have used hugher quality materials..but, keeping the cost down was a priority. I really like the touch sensitive audo and heat controls. unconventional, but I love the super clean look. The biggest thing for me is the ride, and the mileage. both excellent.
I like to roll up the fat Woolford and get all schmoked up while watching the Scotty Kilmers videos.
ITomorrow I will pick up my new to me 2013 Lincoln MKX Crossover. I tried out several luxury cars in this same age range and I found that for a 72 year old geezer with bad knees, this is the most comfortable ride to get in and out of that I have ever had the pleasure of driving! Very plush interior, all leather seats, heated and cooled in front and heated in back. Lots of leg room for passengers in back, back seats nearly as comfy as the front buckets. In my lifetime I have had both work trucks and personal trucks and they always rode like trucks, but this sweetheart is smooth riding, good enough excelleration for an old man, and I love all the amenities that come stock! 10 speakers, CD player, back up camera, and on and on! I have watched many of your videos, Scottie, and I certainly appreciate your thoughts. I investigated several Lexus in this same age range, but for me the American made MKX just edged them out. HA HA. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, right? :smile:
I wish Scottie had a video on the Lincoln MKX, just to hear his specific opinion about this year and model!

Scotty, a large amount of people own these cars and talk about them, in new york city, you dont see anything other than mkt's mkx's, and mkz's
I've driven one with the V6, the updated one with the new corporate front end. It's fast as hell. I agree about the interior quality, there are some crappy plastics but overall it's nice enough. My main problem with the car is that I found it was rather noisy inside--not well-insulated enough like a luxury car should be.
Interesting. I have a 2014 Taurus, which shares the same platform as the Fusion and MKZ, and it's a very quiet car. I can hear a gnat fart from the back seat on a good day.
@@kingdaniel3519 I haven't been in a Taurus so I can't comment on that. But I was test driving the MKZ with my parents and on the same day we drove an Audi A4 and it was MUCH quieter. Now the A4 IS one of the quietest cars on the road, but I didn't find the MKZ to be much (or any?) quieter in terms of wind and road noise than my 2010 Legacy. At the price, where you can buy the car I mentioned or a Lexus ES, it may not really stand up to the competition.
And it might be the difference that I have the Taurus Limited, I've not been in any of the lower trims.
@@kingdaniel3519 actually the taurus is based on the explorer platform that's why it rides just like a suv
@@Limited-uq2yk Negative. The Taurus was on the D3 platform. The Explorer was on the D4 platform. What you should've said was that the Explorer was based on the Taurus platform and that both were derived from the Volvo P2 platform.
Got a 2017 3.0 MKZ in black in the spring of 2020. Absolutely love this car and haven't had any issues. Yet anyways.
5.1L/100 km is 46 mpg
I don't know why people crap on these cars. The Fusion, Taurus, MKS and MKZ are all quite good and reliable cars. I have a 2014 Taurus Limited and it's been an excellent car. It's comfortable, quiet, has the 3.5 with plenty of power and gets good mileage for a car its size. If you don't need a full size, the Fusion is a great car too.
The MKS, MKZ, and Taurus is not a good car because of it’s engine. Avoid the 3.5, 3.5 EcoBoost, or 3.7 in any Ford car (except Mustang) or SUV (except Expedition/Navigator).
These can be very reliable anything ford is reliable I have seen mercury car go past 300k miles easy
The refreshed version of this has 400 hp but nobody seems to know or even talk about it.
Basically a Ford Fusion Hybrid 👍
Thank you. That's what I said. At a much higher price lmao
And that's actually one of the best things about this car. Unlike a German POS where you will pay through the nose for the repairs and parts. This Fusion is an excellent platform and readily available.
I hear the complaints of Lincoln being dressed up Fords like it’s a bad thing. When something eventually breaks (as all cars eventually do) parts are cheap and readily available
@@mattm9689 I'm looking at the MKX. Took a used 2011 for a test drive, nice ride. The seats were so comfortable and for the price you get a LOT of options. I was sold on Lincoln by the time I got back to the dealers. Now I just have to find the one I want.
A friend of mine purchased a Black Lincoln MKZ hybrid with the black wheels that came off a lease at a Lincoln dealer. I think he paid about $18-19k with about 35k miles on it. It's a good riding car with some nice bells and whistles and decent gas mileage. I didn't even know Lincoln sold a MKZ hybrid until my friend purchased his. I think he was researching hybrids and took one of these for test drive. The car he had prior was an older BMW wagon because he has a family but he got rid of it as it had like 130k miles and was costing him thousands in maintenance just like Scotty has warned. I hope Lincoln keeps making the MKZ as the Ford Fusion is slated to stop production this year.
Beautiful car, wouldn't mind owning one
The Taurus Limited/Fusion Titanium are just as nice, and slightly cheaper.
Car companies are selling us small cars with high profile (suvs or crossovers) and killing sedans and large cars.
I just bought my second MKZ (Hybrid this time), and love it. Had great luck with my first.
Has it been reliable? I've heard good things about the Fusion and MKZ Hybrids.
I found about this cars because they were giving $25 to test drive them. I fell in love
Oh really ? I fell in love with you just now when I saw your pic .do you have an Instagram
@@primabarney2156simp do some push ups
I pass them every day of my life. I drive a Lincoln town car and i pass mkz every day in kentucky
The MKZ is a sweet looking ride. This coming from a classic LS430 owner
But its a step down in every way to the LS.
I agree, I know someone who has the current generation in the same color and it really is a sharp looking ride in person!
How reliable are they?
I'm sure they are not at Lexus, Acura levels in durability and quality, but they look nice.
They're Found On Road Dead junk. Buy Lexus instead.
@@asdfghjqwertyu1858 I love that your avatar is BMW... and you're mocking other car brands for reliability. Pot vs. kettle.
They are relatively reliable, they are not as fun to drive as the st's but they do their job well
tom11zz884 they are actually very reliable and very comfortable to drive and ride in. The crossbreed engine is surprisingly very snappy......considering, of course. We bout it for the fuel mileage....not the drag strip. Upwards of 40 miles per gallon is absolutely amazing!! Zero problems so far approaching 100k!
I built these and the quality is really great.
Nice looking car.
Scotty I have a real question:
What do engine bay covers do? I want them off
We have the 2014 with the turbos and love ❤️ it! No issues and the best driving vehicle I’ve ever had
Now he just needs to figure out a way to lose his virginity & a Lincoln MKZ ain't gonna do the trick I'm afraid there bud🤔
@Mercury Grand Marquis sorry to hear that your mustang hasn't helped u get laid either, maybe it's just the Ford products that the ladies aren't digging🤡
Thank you for your honesty. Although other journalist dismiss the MKZ for the handling, that was NOT Lincoln" goal with this car, it is still downplayed for lacking sport sedan status. Quiet Luxury is what you are looking at. Per Lincoln design. Never claimed or promoted as a sport sedan Clear and Simple, This is a Holiday Cruiser, not designed for sport.
Hey love your car,,good to see a Canadian reviewer
It's so simple yet deadly
You could buy a fleet of 1994 Celicas for the price of this endless money pit car.
Mine has had zero issues.
We haven't had any problems with these cars to speak of. Mainly the interior quality that the presenter mentioned.
I own the Lincoln MKS 2010 BLACK ON BLACK, I'M AT ABOUT 130K ONLY SCHEDULED AND OIL CHANGES, SHE RUNS LIKE A BEAST 3.7. BOUGHT HER FOR ABOUT 45K BACK THEN AND CANNOT WAIT TO GET INTO THE NEW NAVIGATOR OR AVIATOR.
Beautiful car! Thanks for sharing :)
What about the Lincoln mkS?
A panoramic moon roof like that is asking for trouble the second a rock or hail lands on it. Shattered glass everywhere, look up the news stories
I believe what you are referring to is due to how the glass was made and how it breaks due to stress and temperature swings.
@behexen250 I always wanted a Lincoln rat rod!
And they do break on those cars and it’s very expensive to replace.
A Hybrid.... Those cars are actually wonderful in the gas versions. Just the right amount of everything. Power to pass the "Only accelerate when I'm trying to pass them" minivans, and the perfect still feel the road, yet smooth a silk ride.
