  More Power! - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
  By Val - August 19 - 2:50 pm

  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

  Drivers Seat poor quality Leather - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
  By wrudge - December 16 - 2:41 pm

  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.

  So far, so good ! - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
  By Steve Provost - July 28 - 2:16 am

  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 didnt 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!

  Our 06 Zephyr - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
  By Edward W. Purcell - May 26 - 10:23 am

  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 wifes 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

  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.

  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!

  The car drives smoothly, with good acceleration, medium suspension, little body lean. Steering is nicely weighted

  Only a few minor improvements needed except for a dangerously underpowered engine.

  Just not sure yet???? - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
  By LisaB - March 2 - 11:16 am

  I just traded in my 2000 Infiniti I30 which I just loved and unfortunately miss after purchasing the Zephyr. I dont 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. Ive only owned it a week and think Im still going through withdrawal of giving up my I30, so time will tell.
