TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Lincoln MKZ

| 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 | |

| 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 | ||

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 |

TrueDelta Reviews the Powertrain of the 2012 Lincoln MKZ
| 2012 Lincoln MKZ Powertrain: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| The Fusion is among the quietest mainstream midsize sedans. The Lincoln MKZ adds active noise control and acoustic laminated glass in the windshield and front doors to further suppress noise. Nevertheless, the MKZ isn't significantly quieter than the Fusion inside. As in the Ford, if to a slightly lesser degree, you hear tire impacts more than in some more softly suspended competitors. But the real noise problem is the four-cylinder base engine. This engine has a buzzy soundtrack that's only marginally acceptable in the Fusion. In the Lincoln, it strikes the ears as entirely out of place. Though Lincoln's V6 doesn't sound nearly as sweet as that in the Lexus, it's a must-have $1,230 option for acoustic reasons alone even though both handling and (perhaps) fuel economy suffer. Either non-hybrid engine is hobbled by the same unresponsive, occasionally clunky six-speed automatic transmission. Due to this transmission, lazy throttle tuning, or both, the powertrain often hesitates when called upon to scoot. Between this hesitation, the tendency to plow in hard turns, and limited forward visibility, the subjective driving experience falls well short of the objective competence of the chassis. With a few tweaks, the MKZ could be much more fun to drive. see full Lincoln MKZ review | ||

The Hybrid system operates flawlessly. Silently it changes to all electric, to electric combined with gas, to all gasoline power, to what seems like endless variations of everything in between. Most changes are not noticed, and the few that are--can hardly be detected. The whole experience seems very refined. see full Lincoln MKZ review |

Hybrid is slower than my previous v6 Acura but I was aware of that. I don't feel the need forfast acceleration like I did in the past see full Lincoln MKZ review |
