Pros: What do you like about 2008 Lincoln MKZ?
I love the styling. This is the second Ford product I have owned (1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe being the first).

I really like the Sync feature and love the heated/cooled seats.

AWD is reassuring when the weather is dicey and the roads are slippery.

The car is very quiet and rides very smooth.

Trunk is HUGE for a car this size!

The polarized rear/side view mirrors rock!

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Lincoln MKZ?
Headroom could be better. I am 5'8 and my head almost touches the roof.

The horsepower is just adequate. The less costly V-6 Mustang gets 300hp. I think that should be the benchmark for the MKZ.

The hood release could be better thought out. My foot has hit the lever for it many times while getting out of car and the control is very sensitive. Have had to get out and make sure the hood is fully latched.

2008 Lincoln MKZ Review:
The pros outweigh the cons in my opinion. I read that the 2008 MKZ was ranked the highest quality car according to J.D. Power.

While I had a hard time parting with my Mitsubishi Diamante, the MKZ is making the parting sweet. This car is superior in every way. Long term ownership will determine if I stay a Lincoln guy. The Diamante was very reliable and if the "Z" is as reliable, I will be buying Lincoln again!

Overall a very nice car!

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Lincoln MKZ?
Solid and distinctive looks. Excellent materials used in the cabin. Good engine and transmission.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Lincoln MKZ?
The lack of ESC on this car befuddles me. The safety of the passengers is compromised without it. Did the omission shave 50 bucks off the purchase price? You decide.

2008 Lincoln MKZ Review:
An affordable Lincoln has arrived but not without compromises. The renamed MKZ has the fit and finish of a near luxury car that you would expect from Lincoln. The engine and transmission are near world class. So, what is lacking? Electronic stability control for one. Who would purchase a car of this caliber and not expect it to be standard, let alone be at least an option. Insurance rates reflect this omission.
