*Update*
Like I said in the video, I always had an issue with the top rear door padding squeaking, but now there's an annoying rattle in the left rear door that won't go away no matter what I do. There are also some other intermittent rattles around the driver's door. I like the car itself but I'm really disappointed in the build quality as it relates to squeaks/rattles :-/

This is a review of my new-to-me 2018 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Reserve after 3 months and 1,000 miles. In this review, I go over the best and worst aspects of this car and my overall ownership experience thus far. This car has too many features to discuss in a reasonable amount of time so I chose the ones I thought were most important and influenced my purchase decision.

The following equipment helped make this video:
-Samsung Galaxy S8
-Windows Movie Maker
-Rode NT microphone
-Audacity audio editing software

Note: It may be hard to hear my voice (recorded via a Rode NT microphone), so you may need to turn the volume up. I also realize my video shots are not the best they could be (I used my Galaxy S8, which struggles to focus sometimes, especially in low-light conditions).

This video is not sponsored by the Ford Motor Company. I'm the sole owner of this car, and this is an honest review. I had no incentive to make this video.

This is one of the most time-consuming videos I've ever made, requiring 15+ hours of editing. Please leave a like! I'm not a pro at video editing, but I did my best. This is the first video I've made trying out a different recording process; rather than film while talking, I filmed but instead narrated after. I like this different process, but it requires substantially more work and I'm not sure if I'll use it again.

Please subscribe and comment! Thanks for watching; I hope this review helps you make an informed purchase.
