The hybrid has a whole lot of power I think and it's smooth. I admit I was driving I-80 with wife and friends not paying attention to my speed.. I was doing over 100mph w/o realizing it for a long way and still was getting low 30's mpg.. Pretty darn impressive..

@rjdef95347 жыл бұрын
I test drove many vehicles. When it came down to it I liked the interior, ride and comfort better in the MKZ. For $55k it is hard to find a creamy smooth 400HP engine. With a few key features i.e. 400HP V6, AWD & driver’s package, other midsized luxury vehicles felt inferior. As if the Lincoln had a higher-end quality interior and better total package. The seats are very well thought out & comfortable. Leather & padded surfaces feel soft and supple. It’s as if the Lincoln brand is trying harder since they have to thwart off the sport of American brand bashing that is constantly read in publications such as Consumer Reports. Furthermore the Drivers Package adds AWD w/dynamic torque vectoring which intelligently applies power to the rear wheels when driving aggressively. With the package torque steer under normal driving is gone along with much of the understeer typically associated with FWD and some AWD vehicles. In my opinion road isolation & ride are better in the Lincoln than say a Caddy, Mercedes or BMW. Cornering Gs is extremely ample with the all-weather 19” tires standard with the driver’s package. I would not opt for the summer only tires which hurt the ride. So if there is some impact from having AWD vs RWD it will most likely only be noticed at the track or with very aggressive drivers. Yes when you apply the full 400HP most torque goes to the rear but even the 30-40% going to the front can cause a slight pull. It’s nice they provide a per wheel instantaneous power read out so you know the rear wheels do their share intelligently (when you stomp on the accelerator). That said 99.999999% of the audience buying these vehicles today are not going to the race track and won’t notice the cons and most likely will appreciate the pros to this AWD setup. Drivers looking for a stable good grip on a variety of road conditions along with easy control and a sure footed steering feel will appreciate the Lincoln because it delivers. The MKZ is rock solid on the highway in cross winds on washboard pavement, etc. It doesn’t wobble across highway crowns because it’s a high performance sedan. That’s what the average Joe wants. The AWD with torque vectoring does its job and keeps torque steer under control and steering feel is precise; easy to thread the car through a needle. It is snow worthy to boot. BTW, I am not an ignorant just looking to be the expert and to hear myself speak. I know the difference between the Lincoln and a true sport sedan and opted for the Lincoln. My other vehicles are; a Corvette, Pontiac G8 GT (RWD 6 liter), F150 and Road Glide. The only cons besides the Lincoln name: scant rear head room, smaller rear seat than some, and weight distribution with AWD (not 50-50% front and rear like a RWD sedan). One more comment. Consumer Reports issue with the push button gear selector is really a joke. Anyone that is off the baby bottle will not mind the change. I actually think it makes a lot of sense to free up the console. Hope other brands do the same. A common solution amongst brands through committee would be best.
@emmijames3586 жыл бұрын
Mr Pushrod You are precisely right. I am looking to buy a car, my partner owns the 2016 hybrid, and she loves it. I like it. Almost all owners of this car won't take it to a race track and that is true. I cruise it alot on highway taking trips of at least 200miles minimum and it delivers performance for even the 188hp hybrid. I may not get this v6, except they give me the same instrument cluster as the one in the hybrid. I am totally okay with the hybrid version. As for the gear buttons, i think alot of people are still on the baby bottles. I love the freed up space on the center console, makes it looks luxurious as it is. Am not going to lie, i found MKZ much more satisfying, for the price, looks, luxury and performance than BM 3 series, Benz CLA and C Class. I myself will be getting the 2018 Hybrid, i don't care if the wife already have a MKZ hybrid. I just want mine too 😀

I bought a 2015 MKZ Hybrid with 8k miles on it in 2016. Love it. Very comfortable and I get 36+ mpg with it. It has more than enough power than I need. I bring it in for oil changes and take a loaner from Lincoln when I do. They always give me the newest one, which is usually the 2.0T. The 2.0T is much faster than my Hybrid though If I wanted a fast car I wouldn't have bought a Lincoln. Its always nice to drive something new, but I'm happy to get my car back when I return it. Its a wonderful car, but I cant justify trading my 2015 in on the new model year. There just arent enough changes from the 2015 model year that have me sold on a new one yet.. Save yourself some $$ and find a nice, certified used low mileage 2015 and enjoy it for many years.

Also, the interior fuse box is impossible to get to unless I'm missing something that would allow easier access. I was going to replace the fuses for the mirrors but couldn't get to the fuses. I tried the mirror auto button on setting but it goes back to manual or auto off setting. All in all, it is smooth, powerful and comfortable car.

@ironman983 жыл бұрын
MKZ is more Sport-Lux, Continental is more straight Luxury focused. Especially for your rear seat occupants. But if you don't intend to carry around two to three extra people often, then the MKZ with the 3.0L V6 and All-Wheel Drive is worth a look. It should also be noted that the Continental also comes in a V6 All-Wheel Drive option (FWD too). Although there seems to be two varying engine sizes, a 2.7 liter and a 3. I am not entirely sure of the difference between these. Just that there seems to be two different sizes. However despite having a V6 and AWD option, the Continental is still going to be bigger and heavier and not as quick or sporty feeling as the MKZ would with the same options.
