TCC’s Bottom Line

If it’s a certain retro appeal you’re after in a four-door sedan, few vehicles can compete with the moderately priced 2019 Chrysler 300.

The 2019 Lincoln MKZ is comfortable, quiet, and quick with the right engine, but lacks a refinement that other brands deliver.

TCC Dislikes

Slim rear-seat leg room

Discount-feeling interior
