45,563 miles, new transmission
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.
Better Than The "Experts" Think It Is
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!

I love it!
I just traded in my 2004 CTS. I love the Zephyr. It DOES have stability, so I dont know why the reviews on Edmunds says otherwise. That is not true at all. Also, I hate the fact that Lincoln will change the name to some stupid letter bearing name. What the hell is that about. I should be happy though, because my ZEPHYR will be special!
Our 06 Zephyr
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
Terrific Luxury Car
I purchased my Zephyr in 2015 with 22K miles, for $10K Use it as my daily driver, and presently has 98K miles. I recently changed spark plugs, coils, PCV valve and flushed coolant. Outside of oil, tires, brakes and the alternator failure in 2017, this is the only maintenance I have performed. Great interior and ride. Definitely a compact luxury car. Plenty of room for 4 people and a sizable trunk.
