You can adjust the "multicontour" front seats as follows: height, seat angle, back angle, seat cushion length, seat cushion side bolsters, seat back bolsters, lumbar (both vertically and how much pressure),as well as shoulder support, seat firmness,& more see full Mercedes-Benz S-Class review |

Really like the fact that you could recline in the back seats without disturbing the front occupants. see full Mercedes-Benz S-Class review |

My wife refers to it as a sofa on wheels, my daughter sprawls out in the cavernous back seat. I just love the way it drives. see full Mercedes-Benz S-Class review |

2013 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 |

Year | Comment | |
Rear seat headroom and knee room are borderline tight in the Ford Fusion. In the Lincoln 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 |
