2012 Lincoln MKZ Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	Seat evaluations are highly subjective. For me, the MKZ's standard front seats are very good, but short of outstanding. Compared to the seats in the Fusion, they're more firmly contoured but have smaller side bolsters. The optional multi-contour seats might address the bolster deficit. But few people are going to drive this car in a manner that requires much lateral support. see full Lincoln MKZ review

2012 Lincoln MKZ Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Rear seat headroom and knee room are borderline tight in the Fusion. In the MKZ they're tighter still. Six-foot passengers might still fit, but not comfortably. Even without sufficient space for toes beneath its front seat, the Lexus ES's rear seat is far roomier. see full Lincoln MKZ review

2012 Lincoln MKZ Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	I love driving in luxury, and this car delivers much of it. From the cooled/heated seats to the delicious feel of the leather seating surfaces, this car offers more than adequate comfort...and it is a luxury automobile after all. I would expect no less from Lincoln. see full Lincoln MKZ review
