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.

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!

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..

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.

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'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.
@kingdaniel35195 жыл бұрын
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.
@MaestroTJS5 жыл бұрын
@@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.

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.
