  Love the Lincoln Zephyr - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
  By Lorna LV, NV - November 11 - 1:23 am

  I Love my Jaguar, but this car is nice! So quiet and elegant. People look at it all the time as if to say "What is that car?!" We were very happy with the standard options found on this car. We looked, drove, bought. That simple! Nice, too, that it is an American manufacturer. Way to go!

  Looks nice, very rough trans - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
  By Marc - November 7 - 6:53 am

  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.

  My Lincoln Now - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
  By scott luckey - October 8 - 10:26 pm

  Highway cruising great, gets lots of looks, only improvement would be transmission. Starting off is sometimes clumsy due to accelerator and response.

  By Barry - August 11 - 5:30 pm

  this is the quietest car with great ride. the thx radio is one the best made. after 500 miles we went on a trip and averaged 32.2 miles to the gallon. they talk about lack power, we were driving 65 and to pass a truck, we passed with ease, at 85 mph who needs more power at $3.00 per Gallon this a great car

  First on the Block - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
  By M J H - August 8 - 10:46 am

  Just picked up our new Zephyr. Great looking car. Front wheel drive was the major appeal and we found much more. There are only a handful of options to choose, so fully loaded you are looking at about $35,000. Compared to my Mercedes S500 it doesnt have all the bells & whistles, but it has heated & cooled front seats, a great audio system, and a navigation system at less than half the price. They were even offering incentives. You cant ask for more on a new model!

  Good but could be better - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
  By cristo - July 14 - 1:30 am

  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.Ive 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!

  Nice Work!! - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
  By Rob - June 27 - 8:36 pm

  Extremely pleased with this car. First looked at the Mercury Montego, but for only a couple thousand more the decision was easy. It is quick and rides real smooth.

  Switch from an Avalon - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
  By John Hanna - June 1 - 3:43 am

  We have owned the Zephyr for a month. Handling is better than an Avalon. We traded an Avalon for the Zephyr. The ride is quiet. The style is one that people notice. The sound system and navigation system are fine additions. My wife, who drives it more than I do, and I are happy we purchased the Zephyr.

  Underrated, Undervalued - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
  By kb1 - May 11 - 10:16 am

  What a deal. I cant 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 cant read the computer in bright sun, but only at an angle. All in all a great buy!
