This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Powerful V6, available all-wheel drive, many standard features, comfortable ride.
Cons:

  • Overheating issues - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    We bought the car in April and generally like the car. We have had an overheating problem three times on hot days in heavy traffic. The thermostat has been replaced but the problem is still there and they cant seem to duplicate the problem when I take it to the shop. It seems like the cooling fans dont always come on. Very troubling.

  • Excellence! - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I love my MKZ. I gave top dollar for top car. This is an awesome ride. I only wish the trunk would raise up when button pushed. I love the THX system navigation and the maple trim in my model. This is just great. Cant wait till the MKR is out.

  • I tried a bunch, MKZ fit me - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I wanted a mid-sized sedan, and ended up looking at 35 vehicles and driving 22 times in a 5 month period. MKZ was the best fit for me, and after 1500 miles I cant find flaws. Mileage is averaging 21, and got 27.3 on a highway-only trip at mostly 70mph. I didnt opt for the NAV system or THX sound, a small Garmin GPS unit fits fine in the console cupholder. Step-in height is more comfortable than a TL, and usable space much better than an IS. Console and instruments arent trying to be the space shuttle, just useful and tasteful and readable. Were looking forward to feeling the AWD in snow, and a circle-lake-superior trip. All cars involve compromise, MKZ is one to look at.

  • Superb value - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    Superb value for the money with all the typical luxury features which would cost $3-6K more on comparable models. I gave up a BMW 740i [drove for 8 years] and have driven numerous BMW 300 series. I was looking for a smaller car since my kids are grown up and wanted to downsize with the following criteria: a] reliable b] safe c] fun to drive. The computer came up with BMW, Audi, Acura & Lincoln. When I saw the Lincoln, I thought you must be joking, but I researched all, test drove and picked the Lincoln. Its a choice I have not regreted; I am enormously satisfied with the handling, comfort, THX system and reliability. Its a sharp, sporty luxury car. Firm ride so might not fit all buyers.

  • Lincoln can do better than this.... - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    Very "herky-jerky" starts caused by the transmission or electronic controls. Dealership says its inherent in the new design and and even though they acknowledge the rough ride; they say Ford has not given any warranty repair advise. Therefore, they cant authorize any warranty repairs. They say its a problem but dont know what to do.... "poor design" i guess. Im very disappointed and will be looking to trade out of this car soon.

  • lacks power - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    I had a 2003 LS which had much more power than the MKZ. I bought this car with every option, love everything about this car but it definitely seems underpowered.

  • Nicest car ive ever owned - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    Spectacular handling, very comfortable, fun to drive, a ton of horsepower, very well redesigned from the 06 zephyr. Nicer riding than the 5 series and the avalon. I am coming out of a maxima, and it does not compare to the ride and quality of a ride than the mkz. If you are looking for a car with all of these specs you have to look at this vehicle. One of a kind.

  • not perfect but very good !!!! - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    Only complaints are- car needs an auto trunk close to keep from scratching trunk lid and the seat cushion should be a few inches longer. Other than these two observations. I really like this auto- some super looking interior.

  • MKZ - 2007 Lincoln MKZ
    By -

    All wheel drive was not on our "must have" list, but we are pleased so far and look forward to some winter weather to really test this feature. Interior is as advertised. I like the retro feel of it. The seats are a little lower and therefore a little harder to get out of when compared to our Park Avenue. Would be nice to have some way to close the trunk other than grabing the sheet metal and hoping your hand has a good grip. The trunk opens wide and the lid itself points straight up. Akward I feel. The power is nice and the gauges easy to read. Quiet riding after a short break-in period in whick I felt the suspension was going to be too stiff.
