I have the Fusion, and now the MKZ. To be honest, I was literally seeking a bloated Fusion. I loved it so much, I said the Lincoln has to be awesome. I wasn't wrong. I have no interest in hp at the moment, so fuel savings is king. The ride is what stands out in my mind. Everything is relative, and since I don't regularly drive around in premium luxury, it was mind blowing. The ride is amazingly smooth and buttery, but not sloppy. A nice stereo, comfortable seats and a quiet cabin. I got the car used, so it was light years less than new. In fact, 4k cheaper than a brand new entry level Sentra.

It also can be optioned to include heated rear seats, also rear safety seat belts.

As an owner of a 2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid owner for 9 months now, I can tell you just getting in it and driving it at first you will not get the epa fuel economy. It took me about a month to figure out how to drive it properly, and I'm getting 43 in a car that's only suppose to do 41 that's not even trying. You have to train yourself to drive differently, I generally don't have to go over 3 rpm in daily driving due to the torque it produces and COAST alot. Don't rely on the car to tell the mpg, only hand calculation counts believe me I've had it said 35 for a week, go fill up and hand calculate 40. My mother bought an mkz with the 3.7 and its a beast! LOL. I want to see you drive that Honda Accord Hybrid the way you drove the lincoln and get the 50/47 it won't happen. I've read the reviews and people are saying you have to drive at 65 on the hwy to get the special number.

I would go with a Taurus at least people might think I'm a cop part of the time. Lincoln should've made the MKZ leather wrapped in every crevice and maybe change the Dashboard and center console cubby layout. Starting at $40K there's no difference between a Ford Taurus Limited and a Base MKZ.

I almost bought the MKZ in 2015, test drove it and really thought about pulling the trigger. I have to say I really liked the car and what it offered. Of course I was looking at the non hybrid, just not enough power in this car for what it is. Anyways I was pretty positive I would be getting the MKZ but decided to look around a little more. Stopped at a Hyundai dealership and boy was I thankful. Hyundai had a slightly used 2015 Genesis sedan for about 8k less than the MKZ I was looking at. I took the Genesis for a test drive and immediately made the deal. I love that car today almost as much as I did when I bought it. As a pure luxury car, its ni comparison. The Genesis at the time was a far superior luxury car. I did like the feel of the steering better on the MKZ, I thought that car handled better. Both have a great look, couldn't go wrong there, but I felt I got a better deal along with a better overall car. Not to mention the warranty allows you to never worry with Hyundai/Genesis
