Piece of trash

...I bought this car in 01/2007. Sold my SUV for this car.
It has been nothing but trouble. Been shop more than out. Replaced wheel bearings four times, it has a rough idle that nobody can fine or the noise it makes in the dash...

Looks nice, very rough trans

...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...

Lincoln Lux Value

..."Bought in Aug 06 now at 30k has been reliable and comfortable car.
Really liked the interior when I purchased this car (white ext beige leather w/light color wood trim int.
Car was in dealer inventory. No opts but I never feel like I am missing anything.
Uses regular fuel and has a smaller engine than the 2007 and new models. Has adequate power and gets miles/gal typical of a 6 cyl. Michelins that came with it are wearing well too!"...

Not really a Lincoln
Source: Cars.com

...A reprogramming of the system failed to correct the problem. Next, the dash board is impossible to read in sunlight since the glass is angled poorly. It will take you a while to get used to the distance of anything behind the car when trying to back up, since he back is so high. But you will get used to it. Forget the 20mpg city/28mpg hwy they claim. Highway isnt bad...about 26, but city is about 12 to 14. I drive a fair mix of city/hwy...about 50/50, and am averaging 18MPG. That's what I was getting with my Nissan 350Z Roadster with the 290 HP engine. Go figure... It's too bad the car has so...

WOW!!! More and More impressed each day!!
Source: Cars.com

...!! The ride is just as nice. If your looking for a powerfull vehicle this is not it. It has enough power for what I do, I'm not towing anything with it. I'll leave that up to my SUV. It will get up and go!! MPG is awesome! Coming from and SUV anything is great but the rating is right on the money 20/town 30/highway. if your looking for a mid size luxory sedan THIS IS IT!!! I even fit comfortably in the back seat. The trunk space is incredible. If your getting this car... Splurge on the Navigation system, IT"S WORTH IT!! Overall Lexus, BMW, Mercedees, Cadillac, can't hold a candle to this care...

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...

Love my Zephyr, but ...

...Bought the Zephyr out of auction in 2008 and really have had very few issues with this car and have driven almost 60,000 miles in two years.
Very comfortable, great AC, handles well (except in snow), love the heated and cooled seats (thought the cooled seats make you feel wet) and the gas mileage is not bad at all.
Have had very few issues with this car with the exception of finding tires that work and don't make a ton of noise, and tires for snow.
This car does not do well in the snow without snow tires.
Turning radius is horrific, though. My wife's huge SUV has a better...
