Here again, when it comes to the trunk Lincoln skips the details that could make MKZ ownership more appealing, though we’ll be the first to note that the seatback releases are among the best in the business – just pull the handy lever and the seatbacks flop right down. The amount and shape of the space is not the problem. Rather, it’s the ill-fitting and cheap liner Lincoln uses to finish the luggage compartment, and the lack of a handle or grip to assist with closing the stiff, strut-supported trunk lid. The result is filthy hands if the MKZ’s decklid is dirty. You’d think designers and engineers based in rainy and snowy Michigan would have addressed this problem.
