I have been a loyal Cadillac customer all my life but decided to try something new I was looking to upgrade from my 2003 cts and found the Lincoln zephyr, the Lincoln is a far superior car more power and refinement. I will buy lincolns from now on.

After looking at the CTS and the BMW 5 series's I felt that they didn't stack up against Lincoln in terms of luxury and performance so I decided to go with the Zephyr, it's Comfortable smooth, and Reliable it has all of the features you need out of a luxury vehicle, I got mine fully loaded with the Navigation,Moonroof ect. $35,000 New. The seats are very comfortable, Excellent acceleration on the freeway the car just glides. Build quality is superb and haven't had any major issues, the car currently has 127,000 miles and I fully expect to get at least another 100,000 out of it, I always get compliments on it, if you are thinking about buying one you won't regret it.

I purchased my 2006 Zephyr via an auction in 2009. Sharp, sporty looking car! Mine is dark gray & has the light gray interior. The car had a slight worn spot in what appeared to be a seam on the left hand side of the upper drivers seat. In time the worn spot appeared to stretch & you could see fibers & then the dye in the leather started to come off in just that one small section. I paid $400 to have the upper seat leather replaced. It happened again & they took the cover back and gave me another. Now, less than 6 mos. later it is doing the same thing. The same location on all 3. Time for a meeting with a Factory Rep.

I have a 2006 zephyer with all options have 8 thousand miles on it bought new. The chrome is peeling off of the wheels I have talked to other owners and they have the same problem. I purchased an extended warranty I was told by lincoln the wheels are not covered. I have bought lincolns for over 30 years this will be my last terrible customer service. if you own one check your wheels

WE love our Lincoln Zephyr, it handles and drives very well, hugs the curves and the ride is smooth. The only thing that I feel could be improved is that the front seats are too small for my frame on a long trip. I am 6' 3" and weigh 225. Although the Zephyr is my wife's car and she loves it especailly the GPS system. WE do like to take it on trips in excess of 400 miles and that is where it becomes un comfortable for me. Besides that I feel the Zephyr is a solid vehicle. I suppose we will need to look for a larger Lincoln perhaps a MKS, we shall see. Thanks for listening Edward & Alice Edward & Alice

Have owned my Lincoln Zephyr for over 3 years and extremely satisfied with vehicle. Never had to take back to dealer while under warranty since I've owned. Exceptional highway mileage of 30mpg with regular gas and extremely smooth and comfortable. Very stylish even though it's several years old now.

Love my Zephyr, but ...

Bought the Zephyr out of auction in 2008 and really have had very few issues with this car and have driven almost 60,000 miles in two years. Very comfortable, great AC, handles well (except in snow), love the heated and cooled seats (thought the cooled seats make you feel wet) and the gas mileage is not bad at all. Have had very few issues with this car with the exception of finding tires that work and don't make a ton of noise, and tires for snow. This car does not do well in the snow without snow tires. Turning radius is horrific, though. My wife's huge SUV has a better turning radius. I'm surprised there aren't more complaints. Otherwise, totally satisfied.

I bought this car in 01/2007. Sold my SUV for this car. It has been nothing but trouble. Been shop more than out. Replaced wheel bearings four times, it has a rough idle that nobody can fine or the noise it makes in the dash.

Bought the car 3/2006, use it to drive the 20 miles back and forth to work - today, 4/30/2010 found out I need a new transmission with only 45,563 miles.

My Zephyr looks great. I put 20" rims and low profile tires from the start and the car looks great. The tires the dealer sold me were horrible (Nitto) but I replaced them with Michelins that are much better. Car is comfortable and rides fairly well on the freeway. I always get people telling me they love how it looks too. The biggest problem is the transmission and the poor fuel economy. The transmission has been poor from the start, with very jerky upshifting almost predictable when trying to accelerate from a rolling 40 MPH. The transmission actually jerks so hard that the car almost comes off the ground. I am really not looking forward to that repair bill that come inevitably.

Somethings Missing

Came out of an LS to the Zephyr. I know we are comparing apples and oranges but Lincoln really missed the mark if trying to retain customers who came to the brand for mid performance. LS was tight and confident. Zephyr is not even close. Zephyer is luxury inside while the vehile is in park. Awesome interior, no mechanical issues, great looks and finish. Step on the gas and it ends here. Loud unrefined engine noise, unremarkable ride, major torque steer. This is a Fusion at best with a better interior. Nothing wrong with this except why pay for luxury and get a common auto mobile. After 7 weeks I traded it out.

Owned the vehicle for 2 months and really love this car. I get many compliments on my new car and I inform them it is 4 years old and not new. This design is like the 2010 MKZ and in top condition so it appears that way. The mileage is very good, not great. I get 24 in town and 27 on the highway. Seats are very comfortable and fully adjustable. Leather seats are wonderful on long trips.

I have read numerous reviews of the 2006 Zephyr in magazines and newspapers, and almost all of them were unenthusiastic. Most claimed that the Zephyr is just a dressed up Milan, and some are critical of the performance or the interior styling. I studied these reviews before buying the car, but then I took a couple of test drives to decide for myself. I compared it to competing cars from Lexus, Infiniti, Acura, and Audi, and decided that FOR ME the Zephyr is the best choice. It handles well, looks great, and has been extremely reliable. After 3 years on the road, the Zephyr is at the top of the JD Powers quality survey, and is rated highly by Consumer Reports. Buy one, you'll like it!

These are a few of my favorite things

I bought my pre-owned Zephyr over 4 months ago, and I still smile when I walk up to it, it's just fantastic. It's such a classy-looking car, ESPECIALLY in black, which mine is. Unfortunately, being black, the birds seem to enjoy hanging out above it... often. It's very fun to drive, though as has been pointed out repeatedly, the gas mileage leaves something to be desired. I live pretty close to work and don't drive a whole lot otherwise, so I'm getting about 17mpg regular. But on the highway, I have gotten 30mpg, so that's something. I've read reviews saying the acceleration is bad, but I haven't really experienced that, if you drive it intelligently (don't slam the gas/squeal tires).

Very good car.

I found this car slightly used at a Jeep dealer and really liked it at first sight. I have driven it all over and on two long trips (5K miles) since then and still like it a lot. This US car is better than any Toyota or Honda and is comparable to the Lexus. It drives great, gets good MPG (26-30 hwy), runs very quiet and is very reliable. It is great car for a couple or a small family with lots of trunk room and a big back seat for extra junk or two kids or two friends as needed. The car is very luxurious and great looking on both the inside and outside. I highly recommend it to all my friends.

I have owned this vehicle three years now and overall it has been a good experience. No major breakdowns or service issues whatsoever. My only complaint is the V rated tires. If you have a flat you buy a tire. Apparently the sidewalls are so thin, that there is no hope to repair unless you have the flat while sitting still in your garage.

I have owned this car for 3 years and absolutely love it. Wish I would have waited for the MKZ and I would be purchasing it at lease end in a few months. May purchase it anyway since it still looks as new as the day I drove it off the showroom floor 3 years ago. I have really been shopping and comparing other makes and models but keep coming back to the Lincoln's can tear myself away.

Great car! Handles well, accelerates well, great gas mileage - 28 mpg combined! Good looking car. Top reliability. I'm 6'4" and fit in this car comfortably. Trunk is large, put the seats down for extra space. Every possible control. Lucky to find one, I had to look for three months until I found a Zephyr, worth the wait.

What a deal. I can't think of anything else I could add to this car except a more powerful engine. It feels solid, people stop and look at it all the time. It drives well, has good pick up, corners well and all the instruments are laid out well. You can't read the computer in bright sun, but only at an angle. All in all a great buy!

I have owned this Zephyr for 2 years now. All in all it has been a good car for me. There have been some issues,however. Since day one of ownership the car has idled very high after sitting for more than a couple of hours! It takes several minutes for the car to idle down on its own! Have been to the dealer and they say all is fine! My mileage is now dismal and I believe it is due to the high idle every morning and afternoon. 2006 was the only year this particular engine was used.I've talked to other owners of 2007-08 models they have no problems. They also have more power as Lincoln added about 43 horsepower! A friend drove my car and thought it was a 4 cylinder!

Bought the Zephyr a year ago with every available feature except the Nav system (have cell phone GPS for that). The projected TCO is $0.45/mile so far with the factory 5 yr maintenance plan. Driving has been a pleasant surprise: smooth, quiet ride yet agile handling when needed. Mileage has ranged from 19 to 31 MPG with 23 MPG typical per tank full. The THX II delivers a satisfying volume and quality of about any style of music I know of.

Bought Zephyr used with only 11k miles. Fully loaded with every option. Like the cooled seats (Houston is hot) killer sound system and tremendous storage with rear seat folded down. Adding door protector strip to avoid dings. Could use a little more power and engine sounds "busy" when accelerating. Gas mileage averaging around 22.5. Don't like the tilt steering, GM is much better.

I previously owned a Cadillac Deville and was considering the CTS as a replacement. The Lincoln, with front- wheel drive, proved to have a more appealing interior design and layout and caused me to re-think my original plan. The Lincoln offers a stylish dash and cabin and sporty exterior looks. It is definitely not a Town Car and is a nice replacement for the Lincoln LS. The smooth 6-speed transmission provides a nice ride and good gas mileage. Lincoln has obviously gone back to the drawing board to try to attract a younger buyer and compete for some of the import shoppers in this segment.

I bought my Zephyr as soon as it came out and I have been very pleased. It has plenty of power; I get about 19.5 miles to the gallon in the city. I have never had to take it in for anything major, but I did have to have the CD player replaced once. I get lots of compliments on the looks of it and I enjoy driving it. I wasn't surprised to see it so highly rated in Consumer Reports used car report. It's been a great small car with lots of luxury features. My only regret is not getting the sun/moon roof option.

So far, so good !

I purchased my '06 Zephyr 3 months ago with 26K miles. So far, I love it! I had intended to purchase a CTS, but when I saw the Lincoln, I realized it had everything I wanted. My car has the moonroof, THX stereo, cooled seats, and (I think)the optional headlights. I didn't realize a Zephyr even existed! Lincoln should have advertised more agressively! The 221 h.p. is less than my last vehicle ('oo supercharged Regal,240 h.p)yet I find the performance to be quite acceptable. I really like the smooth shifting 6 speed tranny. The car corners much better than my Buick (too much body roll) and has a quiet ride. Fuel mileage is between 23-28 mpg. Time will tell, but this car seems like a winner!

Nice car. Fuel mileage could be a bit better. Very comfortable and quiet-- much quieter than the 1999 Chrysler 300M I owned. Cooled seats are a welcome option! My mother loves her "new" car. Standard radio has much more clean and clear bass (and sounds better IMHO) than the fancy THX-II system.

All in all a good car.This car handles well in most situations and is quite comfortable overall.However,a little more headroom would be nice! Forget this car if you are 6'2 or over.The engine responds well at highway speeds when you are already going with the flow of traffic. This car needs more power off the line! As well as more insulation to keep some of that noise out of the cabin! Some of the interior finishes are a bit cheap and the leather could be a bit better grade. My driver seat is already showing signs of premature wear and the car is only 10 months old. I have to condtion it regularly!! Stereo and related electronics had to be replaced due to electronic failure. All under warranty..

This is one of the nicest cars I've ever owned. Quiet, great ride, ample performance, very surefooted on wet pavement, every option available and under $35K. No expense was spared on the interior. The car in and out is a flat-out show stopper. Everywhere I go, car wash, supermarket, etc. people stop me and want to know what it is and salivate over it. Handles very well. No problems with it so far. Gas mileage disappointing in the beginning (18 MPG around town) but went up to a consistent 22 MPG after about 2000 miles and have reached 28 MPG highway. Could be a little quicker off the line, but really moves once in motion. This car is definitely not a fluffy Fusion. It's all Lincoln.

Love this car! I've been a Cadillac man and was looking to go with the CTS, but did a comparison on options, price, etc. and after driving the Zephyr, I was sold. Roomier and more comfortable with better options for a little less moolah, and the cooled seats are great in a Texas summer! I've not had any first year production issues either. Kudos to Lincoln.

Love my Zephyr !! It reminds me of my 73 Mustang in interior design only better. 6cyl. engine has plenty of power for me, but gas mileage could have been better. Exterior could have been more updated and a more sporty design than looking so "Lincoln". One year later no reported problems other that having the oil changed. Love the THX sound system, air con. seats, nice trunk,and like the retro dashboard.Had a Towncar previously and the Zephyr is much more fun to drive and a lot easier to park.

This is the finest car I have ever owned. I have owned the car for almost 2 months now and just love it. The performance from the motor and trans are execptional. The ride is awesome, tight but smooth and refined. Unbelievable all the looks you get on the road with this car. I'm not sure it's because people are trying to figure out what it is or because there really is not that many out there and they are curious. The cool factor is definitly a part of it I'm sure. The gas mileage is not bad on this car either. I have gotten consistently above 25 and in a recent mostly hwy trip received 29.6 mpg. That's not bad from the second tank of gas on the car. So far I have nothing but good to report.

New Camry and Azera are the same size but have much more power. Six speed automatic gives the smooth ride, but when you need to accelerate it is a burden. The steering is heavy, the door takes a "slam" to close. The reading of "Average M/G" does not correspond with manual calculation, when you divide filled up gallons by driven miles. Lit Displays are barely seen

The engine is more powerful than I expected at 221 hp. The car feels a bit faster than 221 hp. People looking at the CTS, should take a look at the Zephyr before signing the check.

Had looked at a number of other sedans but kept coming back to Lincoln due to the quality. I had also read a number of reviews and they did help. I understood that, like most other models sticker claims, the gas mileage would be less than stated. But, it's close enough not to be a major concern. It looks great, rides comfortably and inside looks just right.

We bought our Lincoln after frustration with other makes. Hard to find good front seats. The Lincoln has them and offers power adjustments for driver AND passenger. The car is relatively quiet. I like the handling, trunk space, and ride. Oh, and the analog clock is a neat touch. You'd expect to run this on premium. Guess again. Only a couple minor gripes. The plastic in the gear box is cheap feeling, and I'd expect a locking fuel door. Some, I suspect will not like the moving center console deck. It's well padded, but moves fore and aft and can't be locked in place. Overall, a fine car. Glad to be back with Ford.

My new Zephyr has so many great features I couldn't list them all. Great proportions, Drives like a bigger/heavier car, and so far seems to be well on track to rival my favorite (up until now) car I ever owned. (Which incidentally was also a Lincoln) It truly drives like a Lincoln affectionado would expect it to drive. To top it off I had a great purchase experience with the dealer, although I had to drive 30 miles to get it. (Local dealers always try to pad the price with charges to have the car transfered etc.) I dont see why so many think it is to similar to the Milan/Fusion sure there are similar beginings, but all car manufacturers do that. (Honda/Acura..Toyota/Lexus)

I've only had this car for a short time but I like it very much. I had a Town Car which I loved but I wanted to downsize and this car is perfect. There is a lot interior room and trunk space. The car is loaded with options that I didn't have in my Town Car. It has a great looking interior. The ride is very good for a car this size.

Having driven only Town Cars and a LS for the past several years I find the Zephyr comparable to the LS and much better in handling than the Town Cars. Pleasantly surprised at a much lower price. Why the name change next year and additional HP I don't understand. Must be geared to a younger generation who don't remember the old classic Lincoln Zephyr

I was going to pickup a BMW a couple months back, until I drove the Zephyr. I am very impressed with everything about it. Gets lots of looks, but its not gaudy. Lincoln has a notion of sophistication. Everything from Cooled/Heated seats, automatic Up/Down widows, comfortable seats and high quality seat and dash materials, awesome fit and finish! I drive over 27k per year in city and highway, so I am very stringent on what I buy. Better materials inside than BMW, more power and no 'tin box' feel like Lexus. This car performs well, shifts are dead-on, steering is tight, lights on and off highway are bright, regular (87) gas, comfortable, very roomy and open feeling. Plus it's American! A+

I purchased the Zephyr to replace my Mercury Sable that seems to last forever and just keeps going. Most noticable about the Zephyr is the quiet and comfortable ride. Bumps and road noise have just about disappeared. I have the standard sound system that seems adequate for FM but is outstanding with CD's. It is embarrassing to get so many stares of approval as I drive around. The trunk is large enough to hold an entire order from Costco with room to spare. The air conditioned seat makes me feel like my pants are wet, but is quite effective. The air conditioner is quite powerful even in 99 degree weather. My only complaint is that the vision in the rear is poor, like most other 2006/7 cars.

It handles well even on wet roads and has good visibility. My passengers and I love the smooth & quiet ride. I open the trunk, fold down the two back seats, lay a blanket down, and my dog rides to the vet in style. Took him a minute to figure out he had to enter from the trunk but he loves it now.

Have had the Zephyr nearly 3 months and have enjoyed it. I did have to replace the steering whell due to the leather wrap starting to peel off. Turning radius is average. The car does have some pep if you get on it. The steering wheel controls are excellent and allow more freedom to switch radio stations, media, a/c etc. than many competitors. It's hot in the south, thus the a/c in the seats are awesome.

Although a great driving experience with head turning good looks it is not perfect. Rear vision is a problem and the center arm rest is out of position.

Got this car several weeks ago: the best ride I have ever had. The design is great, it's a pretty car (my wife loves it), but the creature comforts are awesome. The THX stereo w/17 speakers is the best I have ever had, in or out of the car. The Navigation system is incredible. Climate control is as good as it has been for over 10 years on Ford company vehicles. On top of all that, it is a great ride, with great response, acceleration. Nimble and fast. What a car: I can't praise it enough.

We traded in our Lincoln Aviator for this car. We wanted better gas mileage but didn't want to give up any luxury features that the Aviator had. We didn't have to give up anything, as the Zephyr is loaded. Classy. We don't feel we've given up any space by trading in our SUV with the large trunk and flip-down seats for more storage. We opted for the navigation system... nice! Didn't think we'd use it, but turns out it's a daily use tool. We average 21 - 22 mpg, with a mix of in city and hwy miles. This is a car that feels sporty, classy, and will turn heads. Fun to drive and easy controls where they should be placed.

Purchased the car with all available options except I passed on replaceing the real wood interior trim with brushed crome. Put Mobil 1 Synthetic oil in and pumped up the tires to 42 psi. (The Michelins are max rated at 44 psi and Lincoln recomends 33 psi.) I averaged 33 mpg on a 400 mile trip which included mountainous terrain. Very satisfied! The car handles very well and the 221 hp V6 has plenty of pep. As far as looks are concerned, I have gotten many compliments on the exterior and interior design from friends and strangers. During my trip I observed many cars giving the Zephyr a good look and a buddy of mine who has been a Cadillac man for years is trading in for a new Zephyr.

There are big time steering problems with this vehicle. Without four lanes forget a u-turn. Pulling into a parking space requires that you backup and correct. Hard to believe it has rack and pinion steering! The engine sounds like a tinker toy not that of a $30,000 luxury car. Forget having to accelerate quickly when merging onto the interstate or turnpike. At 52, I would I was more consumer savvy. Wrong!

My first American Luxury car. Considered Acura TL/TSX, Infinity and Lexus offerings. Price point and design made Zephyr most appealing, no cookie cutting. Exterior design jaw dropping gorgeous. Classy name and interior styling. Very solid build with a quality interior makes driving quite enjoyable. Love the AC in the seats (gets hot here in GA). Plesant experience at the dealership. Very quiet ride even at 70 mph interstate speed. Positive feedback in the corners, secure feeling from brake system. Overall Zephyr is well balanced when compared to competing models.

The car is tight, solid, and quiet. Unlike the mushy accelerator pedal on many new cars, this one supports my foot. The cooled seats really work and feel better than I expected. It's fun to drive, easy to park, and has an interior that always gets compliments from first time guests. The THX entertainment system with 14 speakers was definitely worth the extra money. This may be the first car (out of 5) that I may buy at the expiration of my 3-year lease.

This is our first "American made" car since the mid 1980's and we are extremely pleased. We looked at the Lexus ES series and found the Zephyr just about equal in quality but much more affordable. The THX sound system is awesome, the heated and cooled, memory controlled seats are a nice touch, the instruments easy to read,the ride very comfortable, the pickup more than satisfactory and it roomy and fun to drive. We also have the moon roof that operatates with one touch and is surprisingly quiet when open. Our Zephyr also has the 17" chrome wheels and they sparkle. My wife uses the car daily and has been asked several times about the vehicle. It's a real head turner.

I have had this car for almost a week and so far it has performed better than any other car I've owned. Acceleration is responsive. According to the salesman the computer system will adapt the gear shifting to my style of driving. This is why it does not have a manual shifting option. Doors open and close with little effort. I researched the Acura TL, Cadillac CTS, Dodge Charger, Chrysler 300, Toyota Camry, and the Nissan Maxima. The closest that compared to the Zephyr is the Maxima 3.5 SL version. The drawback of the Maxima is it's interior style. Zephyr int/ext combo is by far the best for the price. I'm definitely looking forward to keeping this car for a long time.

I have fallen in love with turning, for me the right turn, very tight, is the best. I have a Corvette, but I love the Zypher's handling. And in the process I find it to be very peppy. I think 226 HP, V6. Turning also seems to be assisted in that you do not turn the wheel far to make a big turn. Ride is great not mushy like some Ford's. My parents Town Car floats, the Zypher is very much on the ground. Interior is delightful. My Mom bought one, traded in that Town Car within two weeks of my purchase.

The price is right. We like the general design and overall assembly of the vehicle. Although the power is at least adequate, engine noise under high acceleration is somewhat excessive. The seats and other interior details are all that we expect from a car of this level and price. It compares very favorably and in many cases better than the Lexus ES 300 we previously owned and really liked.

This is a wonderfull car to drive and just enjoy. I have the standard audio system in it, (not the THX), and it is excellent, clear and vibrant sound, has unique audio tuning features. The car is very quiet, I used to own a Grand Marquis, and the Zephyr is quieter then the Grand Marquis. The ride quality is very nice, handling is very precise, and acceleration is splat on the money, no lag. I highly recommend this car.

Had a friend recommend looking at the Zephyr as I was in the market for a new car. I just moved to Vegas and was looking at some GM products, but when I saw the Zephyr, my search was over, the car has looks, drives great and is loaded with every option that I wanted. Have had the car for two weeks and I am liking it more and more each day. The ride is extra quiet even when doing 65 on the freeways and the stereo is out of sight. The cooled seats will come in handy this summer and I will put the Navigation through it's paces as we plan traveling on a whim.

excellant car,drives like a lincoln should. would like side mirrors to go in the down position for curb finding,would like electric trunk closure, and would like gas compartment opener.otherwise great car. one other problem with ford cars is the fact you cant get the accessories for their cars, all other car manufacturers don't have this problem

I had this car for 4 months and i love it the ride is very smooth, the THX sound system is great, i love the cooled seat because where i live we have 90 to 100 degrees, the interior is beautyfull, it has more than enough power, it looks great, it handles great, the cockpit is quiet but when the engine goes around the 3,500 rpm the sounds turns loud and thats something that i love, this is the first lincoln made for young buyers because it has what it takes to compite with the germans and overprice japanese

Having owned this car for two weeks has been great fun. The black on black combination is a real head turner.The performance and handling both have exceeded my expectations. If Tiffany & Company sold cars this would definitely be a jewel in the blue box!

I just traded in my 2000 Infiniti I30 which I just loved and unfortunately miss after purchasing the Zephyr. I don't think the Zephyr is as sporty as I would like, but it is classy. I enjoy the heated seats and the sound system. I enjoy the smooth ride, but miss the sporty look and feel of the I30. I have no desire to go out and joy ride with this car. I've only owned it a week and think I'm still going through withdrawal of giving up my I30, so time will tell.

A nice car for the money

Well I just traded in my Jaguar X-type for the new Zephyr(I wish they would keep this name) who wants a mark Z??? I don't get it. Anyway, This car is really unbelievable. It has almost every fun option I would want on a car. You have to get the navigation and THX system. It's like front row seats at a movie or concert. All of you beamer, acura, lexus and audi lovers Talk to me when you can have Air conditioned seats. I have test driven almost every model out there in the 30,000 dollar area and as far as styling, fit and finish, options, you just can't beat this. The first day I had this car three people came up to me to tell me what a great looker it is. Try that in a Acura or lexus.

a great new car

this car is fun to drive. It corners very well . For a 6 cyl it has excellent passing ability. Engineering has done an excellent job of matching the gears to the car. The interior is very pleasing to look at, and it is easy to see the controls at night. I would not hesitate to buy another one. I have put on 4900 miles on since november, and enjoyed every minute of them . A marvelous car for the money.

This quiet, elegant, classy car speaks volumes, without saying a word. When I first came upon it without even looking, I felt a "connection". I've owned the 5-speed flashy cars, the red cars, too many white cars and big SUV's -- (not conducive to wearing skirts!) It was time for me to show some style and I've done that in my brand new classic black, oyster leather interior, Lincoln Zephyr. I brought it home and just stared at it for 2 days and then I took it out on a Saturday night by myself and drove through town playing "Enya" on my fabulous stereo very loud. Then I clicked over to CD #3 and "Start Me Up", classic Stones. My genre, my style. That's me pulling up in whispered elegance...

Nice Work!!

Lincoln has a quality product in the 2006 Zephyr. Great ride, luxiourious interior and features such as Air Conditioned Seats, HID lamps, Navi, THX II Certified Audio and 17" Chrome rims for under $35K. Very quiet highway ride and surprisingly good handling on local winding roads. Local driving averaging about 21 MPG and the 12 month maintenance package with 50K warranty makes the Zephyr even more attractive.

Zephyr is Great.

At 32 years old, I am probably on the young end of the range for Lincoln’s target population for the new Zephyr, but the car fits me like a glove. After testing many (and I do mean many) cars, and dealing with the exasperating car salesman, I could not pass up the Zephyr. I traded in my 01’ Lincoln LS for the Zephyr, and although I lost some horse power, I gained a sportier feel and better gas mileage, while maintaining the comfort and style of a Lincoln. I found it not only responsive on the back roads, but also smooth, quite and comfortable on the highway; much more so than the Cady CTS (This was important to me, due to the fact that I spend much of my time on the road).

Zephyer vs CTS

Performance: 5 Comfort: 5 Fuel Economy: 5 Fun To Drive: 5 Interior Design: 5 Exterior Design: 5 Build Quality: 5 Reliability: 5 Comfort Rating: 5 Performance Rating: 5 Interior Rating: 5 Reliability Rating: 5

I was looking for an entry level luxury car that wouldn't break the bank. Well, I found it. I thought the CTS was going to be my choice but once I test drove the Zephyer it was all over. The car has a sophisticated look of an import and the interior is extremely impressive. Nothing like it in its class. Car handles like a dream, has lots of standard features ( 15 of them you won't get with the CTS - compare at cars.com).I highly reccomend seeing and driving this car before the purchase of the cadillac. My guess, 9 out of 10 will choose the Zephyer.

I have only owned this car about a month but my first impressions are very positive. I test drove and evaluated many other cars before making my deicison. This car has more standard features for the price then its competition. Plus its a new look which people notice on the road. I was a bit concerned that it might be underpowered but after driving it for a while, although its no performance car, the 6 speed transmission helps in getting the car up to speed adequately. Don't let that stop you from buying this car. It's comfortable with enough room, has all the features you could ever want and still stickered for only $35K. The navagation system is great, my first one, I recommend it.

Awesome!!!

My Mom recently got this for a christmas present, and it is AWESOME. It handles like a charm and takes the corners very well. Shifts well and is very comfortable. Seat warmers are a plus this time of year. Getting 13.6 MPG, but motor only has 1300 miles on it.

Both GM and Ford have come out with some nice cars for 2006 and I wanted to give them both a good shot with my new car purchase. The Lincoln Zephyr is more engaging than the Lexus ES, and while not as much fun to drive as the Lexus IS or BMW 325, it comes in at a good $2,000-$3,000 less comparably equipped (after negotiation and dealer contributions, which don't exist on the other name plates). The main reason I like the Lincoln is its unique sense of American luxury. It is not trying to be European or Japanese, it is trying to establish a new American Luxury character, and I think it succeeds very well. It is very quiet (tire noise from the front is the only sound) and takes regular gas.

Finally an american car manufacturer has met and beat the foreign competition in the mid-size luxury market. The Lincoln Zephyr is truly an amazing vehicle. It has the power,design and luxury amenities of a $40,000 vehicle for about $30,000. The exterior style is impressive. The interior is even more impressive and would meet the discerning taste of the most discriminating car buyer. My only complaint is that XM radio is not available.

After owning a '2000 LS V-8 for 3yrs I was a little bit reluctant to even consider downgrading to a Zephyr. Today, I am proud to say its one of the best decisions I've made in a while. The car is awesome. It has everything I was looking for(affordibility, comfort, performance, and lots of attitude). I compared this vehicle to the CAdillac CTS, Lexus Es300,Mercedes Benz E320, and the MAxima. None of them gave me what I wanted.

This car is one of the quietest cars I have driven to date. More options than any other car in its class and most are standard. The THX sound system and Navigation system are out of this world. I was surprised there was more room inside this car then the Lincoln LS. The Workmanship on this car is the best I have seen including the imports.

have had the car for a month...not a thing wrong yet...love the design, comfort, features and design are fantastic at a fair price. We ordered the car without seeing the color we wanted (dark blue) and love it and the interior color too (light stone). The car is really fun to drive and has plenty of power despite the reports...handles very smoothly...

We love the design and maneuverability of our Zephyr. We recently drove it over 2000 miles to Florida and back, and the only thing we found a little lacking was the seat comfort. Having owned three Lincoln Continentals prior to the Zephyr, we think there could be a little more padding in the seat bottoms. Other than that, we were very impressed with it -- as were our six nephews and nieces, all "30 something young urban professionals." Many people driving beside us caused traffic backups because they slowed down to have a look at the Zephyr. One person speeded up to look at the front, then dropped back beside it, and then pulled in back to check out the rear design.

Very happy with my purchase. The car is quiet, very easy to ride in, takes interstate ramp turns that my Chrysler 300m could not take well. The interior is awesome. I have the Merlot with sand, the blond wood is really pretty. Everyone comments on it. I just got stuck on a no-merge ramp and had to gun it. The car almost got away as it shot into another gear. Can you say New Horrizons...oh, that is a NASA rocket! :) The trunk is big enough for both Haffa and brother Bin! What a blast. Great value for the money.

With 2 kids in private school and money not flowing like it did in the olden days, I thought I was going to be depressed having to "step down" into a vehicle other then the jaguars,bmw's and mercedes that have spoiled me for years. All I can say is that i absolutely LOVE this car. It's more comfortable, has a smoother ride and has more bells and whistles then any car I've ever owned. The sound system is awesome, the dash is sexy, the pick- up is amazing and I can literally fall asleep in the comfortable seats if I'm not careful. The navigation system is brilliant and there is more room in the backseat then I originally thought. Color choices go on and on too.
