I love this car! Fun to drive I get the thumbs up everywhere I go.
Well equipped THX Audio is amazing combined with the
Navigation Package.....what a great safety feature the backup sensors and rear camera are along with Fords B.L.I.S.S.......the blind spot sensors..........everything should be equipped with such.
I look forward to my next Lincoln!!!"...

Entry-level Luxury and Decent Performance at a very reasonable cost
Source: MSN Autos

...I've had the vehicle for several months, and it has yet to disappoint in any serious way. I'm most pleased with styling, the decent performance, and the ability of the car to handle snow. The seats are comfortable and get hot fast in the winter. The Microsoft Sync system works well, although it occasionally misses a voice command and I need to retry. The biggest complaint is gas mileage. The AWD model is supposed to get something like 17 MPG in the city. I'm actually only getting about 14 (according to the car, I haven't manually verified yet). I do expect mileage to improve as things warm up...

Great little Lincoln, shows it's heritage
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: First things first, its American and that pretty much sums it up.
Ford has come a long way in the quality assurance area and are building excellent vehicles.
This one hits all my needs, comfort, mileage, acceptable performance, and some of those "gotta have" bells and whistles.
Cons: Nothing yet. Overall: Love the car, enough luxury to make traveling fun again. Really like the heated or cooled seats. Nice in this hot Florida weather...

Lincoln beats Acura and Honda
Source: Cars.com

..."I have been a Honda guy for 20 years. This time around I was looking again at Honda, Acura, or Nissan.
Could not find one that met my comfort, price needs.
Dealer had me drive the Lincon Zepher/MKZ and it turned out to be a WOW moment.
Sporty, comfortable, quiet, more bells and whistles than I was looking for, and for FAR less than any simular level Honda, Accura, Nissan.
Zepher/MKZ rated high on all catigories too! I am a Lincoln man now."...

2010 Lincoln MKZ
Source: Kelley Blue Book

...Had the car just over a year. Liked it enough to buy it in the first place.
Like it better every time I get into it. My daily driver.
Comfortable, decent performance, good mileage (averaging 22.6 mpg), and VERY quiet.
Standard sound system just fine. A car of this caliber should come with a trunk cargo net standard,
though, and the dirver's outside rear-view mirror should dip (a la Hyundai and others) when put in reverse gear.
A/C can be a little slow to cool on very hot days, but, I attribute part of that to the car's dark gray color...

My Favorite vehicle to Date

..."In addition to the base model I have the Sport Package which takes the base model to a higher level of driving enjoyment!
I get positive comments everywhere I go and thumbs up when driving!I love this car !!!"...

2010 MKZ FWD
Source: MSN Autos

...Everything else I wanted plus more was standard. Interior material, fit and finish greatly improved over previous editions. Incredibly quiet. Cons: Cargo net should be standard. Outside rear view mirrors should dip when car put in reverse. Angle of head restraints should be adjustable in addition to height. Overall: Neither the typical American land yacht like the Town Car, nor a performance enthusiasts car like BMW 3 or 5 series, Acura, etc. A well designed and executed, comfortable, roomy, car that handles well, gets good mileage with plenty of bells and whistles...

Smooth Ride
Source: MSN Autos

...Never have to carry CD around again - holds over 100 in memory. Cons: Nothing Overall: I had a 2007 MKZ coming off lease so I drove a bunch of cars before making this choice. CTS, G37, VWCC, LaCrosse, were all nice in their way - but the 2010 MKZ (much improved from the 2007) was by the far the most car for the money. Had the vechile 3 months and no problems. Friend bought the CTS and kicks himself everytime he is my car, he has NAV envy. Plus it is a lot quieter and smoother on the road. I tell him the CTS would be better at driving in the mountains at 30 mph over the speed limit but who...

Why should I also consider these?

The front- or all-wheel-drive Lincoln MKZ might be on some Audi, Infiniti, or BMW shopping lists, but it has more in common with near-luxury vehicles from Acura, Buick, and Lexus.

The Acura TL's a good case in point; its all-wheel-drive system and big V-6 give it an uncharacteristically numb driving feel, though interior space is good.

Also, it offers shoppers tech-savvy audio and navigation options, but it's just not as appealing as the TL lineup has been in the past.

The new Buick LaCrosse is an engaging option in this class, with a striking design and compelling city-streets performance, though it's without an all-wheel-drive option, and some of its trim looks too bright and too shiny.

The Lexus ES 350 is the easy choice for non-enthusiasts; its cabin isn't too rich to be noticeable, the ride and handling aren't as numb as they used to be but are still forgettable, and the design's uninspired but innocuous.

 
2010 Acura TL
Boldly styled and laden with high-tech features, the 2010 Acura TL is a solid value, though enthusiasts might find its overall ability lacking.
 
2010 Lexus ES 350
Comfort-minded buyers who room for four in a sensibly-sized sedan—and still want the latest technology—won't be able to do much better than the 2010 Lexus ES 350.
