The 2009 Lincoln MKZ provides an enticing, traditionally styled alternative to the pack of contemporary competitors with which the vehicle competes. As an entry-level luxury sedan, the mid-size MKZ does many things right. Interior comfort and the available package of premium features are both exceptional. Roominess is also a selling point, with Lincoln claiming best-in-class interior space and trunk space. Though related to the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, the MKZ offers a smoother, quieter ride, as well as sharper handling. Base MSRP for the 2009 Lincoln MKZ comes in under $33,000. Fuel efficiency is average for its class, with an estimated 24 mpg on the highway.
