Overview & Reviews
In order to more closely align its vehicles with a new naming structure, Lincoln has renamed last year's Zephyr the MKZ. There are also a number of updates to the vehicle as well. Foremost is a larger, more powerful 3.5-liter V6. The bigger engine makes 263 horsepower, 42 more ponies than last year. Other changes include the availability of all-wheel drive, altered front-end styling and optional satellite radio. Finally, drivetrain warranty coverage now spans six years/70,000 miles.
- Powerful V6, available all-wheel drive, many standard features, comfortable ride.

Big Mistake - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
By TJ - January 25 - 8:13 pmI bought this to replace my Audi A6 2.7T. Trying to be patriotic with my first purchase of an American car in quite a long time. The difference is shocking! No comparison. My wifes minivan has a smaller turning radius than this car. The transmission is primitive and pops into gear upon a medium to hard acceleration. The car feels light with no road grip. The sound system (I got the premium THX II) is just plain awful. The xenon headlights are only fair. This cars gas mileage is only moderately better than a full- size American SUV. The only redeeming quality about the car is the exterior appearance. Once you peel that away, it is clear why the American auto industry is ready to fold.

I repectfully disagree on smoothness.... - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
By Discodug - September 19 - 1:30 amUnless the 05 Towncar makes some improvement over the 04, I must disagree with the comment about smoothness coming up short of the Town Car. At slow street speeds, I do feel the Towncar is SLIGHTLY quieter though. I did have an initial hi freq "buzz" at highway speeds, put a pit in my stomach as I drive 98 miles each way to work and I cant STAND noise. Isolated the problem to the triangular plastic between the RV mirrors and the door frame. Took it back, dealer sealed it, no more buzz. I looked at numerous Zs on the lot and many had same symptom...EASILY fixed, so if it happens to you, get it fixed. This was the only thing that kept me from giving a 10 to exterior & build. I love this car!

Love it to bits! - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
By susan from maryland - August 30 - 7:03 amSaw the MKZ on the road one day on my way to work. Love at first sight! I got the alloy color and I absolutely love it. I am riding in style at a great price. I think Lincoln should advertise this car more. Most people are not aware that it exists! The style is classic and the comfort and quietness of the ride is wonderful.

COOL CAR! - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
By Karen - August 5 - 5:00 amI traded a Chrysler 300M which was my favorite car that I ever owned, but think Im going to like this one more. Handling & acceleration are great, interior is exceptional, and the exterior turns heads everywhere, especially with really fancy chrome wheels. Love the Merlot color with beige interior. Im mid 50s, sell real estate to high end buyers, and this is a great car for someone who needs a sedan, but not an "old persons car". I looked at Chrysler 300C, Dodge Charger, Nissan Maxima and a few others, but very glad that I picked this one. Priced well below the competition. And it indeed seems to have "learned" how I drive after a crash course in fast acceleration and curvy roads.

puts the Japanese in the dirt. - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
By stuart adams - May 23 - 12:53 amThis is a beautiful car. It has a great ride, classy styling and will get up and go. The navigation and stereo system are easy to use. It is the most comfortable car, I have driven. I looked at Japanese and German cars, and this was by far the best value. This car is worth a look, and to all you German, Japanese yuppies this is a high performance luxury car at 2/3 the price. I think it has a better ride and is better engineered than most cars in its class. Ford/Lincoln did well on this one. I traded in my 2005 Subaru Legacy and was very impressed by ride, luxury, performance of this vehicle.

Lincoln MKZ - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
By harry bolsonia - April 9 - 2:43 amI am 48 and have finally found a car that combines my youth filled desire to have a sports car with the luxury features and comfort I deserve and have earned. I honestly cannot think of one thing I dislike about this vehicle. It is priced right, I get good value, the quality is there and it is freakin awesome to drive. The only shread of issue is in the blind spots in the side mirrors and I cannot honestly tell you whether it is me or in the design. Otherwise, especially if you get an A plan, this car is the best value around.

Drove a Zephyr bought an MKZ - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
By Michael - March 28 - 7:26 amExcellent car. The 3.5 L engine really stands out from the previous 3.0 L in the Zephyr (which I bought one used for my Mother). Fuel economy is still down from what I would expect, but this car blows away the competition for the price. I love the light tan interior and light colored wood. I was surprised that the moon roof, when closed, doesnt add interior noise as I feared it would. I have the THX-II radio in this car and although it sounds very good, I am disappointed in the bass level, especially with two 6 X 9" "sub- woofers" with that spacious trunk as an enclosure. The bass is just not there as it is on the regular standard radio! Rock and roll requires some thumping bass!

Rivals the BMW 525i - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
By Geniphre - February 26 - 12:13 amI just got the MKZ and I have an 2004 BMW 525i. You would have to be a fool to purchase anything but the MKZ. I put the 2 cars side by side, they look the same. The standard equipment alone, makes the BMW look striped. The biggie its $20,000 CHEAPER. This is Fords golden ticket. Honestly, I would have paid $10,000 more and felt like I got a deal. I am floored by the cars style and performance.

Awesome Car for the Money - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
By Mike - February 4 - 7:56 amI am 47 and this car suits me very well. This is one of the best cars I have owned. I love the comfort and style. I love the characteristic Lincoln ride and quietness. No problems yet (12,000 mile mark). Gets 27 mpg at 75mph as well. Cruises like a dream. Good cold A/C for hot Texas summers! For the money it is an excellent value. I was also able to use an employee discount feature to lower the price as well. I bought this car after driving a used Zephyr that I bought for my Mom.
