Used 2006 Lincoln Zephyr Consumer Reviews
Best Car
We traded in our Lincoln Aviator for this car. We wanted better gas mileage but didn't want to give up any luxury features that the Aviator had. We didn't have to give up anything, as the Zephyr is loaded. Classy. We don't feel we've given up any space by trading in our SUV with the large trunk and flip-down seats for more storage. We opted for the navigation system... nice! Didn't think we'd use it, but turns out it's a daily use tool. We average 21 - 22 mpg, with a mix of in city and hwy miles. This is a car that feels sporty, classy, and will turn heads. Fun to drive and easy controls where they should be placed.
fun, fun, fun
It handles well even on wet roads and has good visibility. My passengers and I love the smooth & quiet ride. I open the trunk, fold down the two back seats, lay a blanket down, and my dog rides to the vet in style. Took him a minute to figure out he had to enter from the trunk but he loves it now.

Great but not Terrific
Although a great driving experience with head turning good looks it is not perfect. Rear vision is a problem and the center arm rest is out of position. It would also be nice to have the steering wheel mounted controls more readable but overall an excellent choice of vehicles. It is my wife's car but I drive it as often as possible.
Much better than expected
Having driven only Town Cars and a LS for the past several years I find the Zephyr comparable to the LS and much better in handling than the Town Cars. Pleasantly surprised at a much lower price. Why the name change next year and additional HP I don't understand. Must be geared to a younger generation who don't remember the old classic Lincoln Zephyr
Satisfied
I have owned this vehicle three years now and overall it has been a good experience. No major breakdowns or service issues whatsoever. My only complaint is the V rated tires. If you have a flat you buy a tire. Apparently the sidewalls are so thin, that there is no hope to repair unless you have the flat while sitting still in your garage.
