2006 Lincoln Zephyr Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by ***ghobbs5gh

Exterior styling
Very modern and unique styling.
Ride smoothness
Impressive ride for a midsize car on struts. OEM Michelin tires contribute to a soft ride
Quietness
Very well insulated, low tire and wind noise
Powertrain performance
Throttle tip in a bit weak, but transmission makes very firm, crisp shifts. Good gear spacing.
Fuel economy
17.5 to 18 mpg in mostly city city driving. Not bad for a relatively heavy midsize car with a smallish V6. No long trips yet.
Audio & nav systems
THX stereo overrated. Bose system in my Trailblazer blows it away. Wonder how long it will be before LCD screen goes dim. New to Nav systems, but it seems to work well.
Interior styling
Boxy retro interior styling seems at odds with exterior styling.
Front seat support & comfort
Front seat cushions seem too short.
Controls and instruments
Small buttons and placement of HVAC and seat controls in particular, require too much time with eyes off the road to operate.
Driving position & visibility
Fat D pillars and high deck restrict rearward vision. Good front and side vision though.
