2007 lincoln mkz review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. One year after the zephyr's introduction, this mid-size sedan gets a name job and some changes under the hood. Zephyr is now the 2007 mkz, consistent with lincoln's new alpha-numeric model names. the mkz does show a new direction for lincoln. A key element in this shift is offering luxury vehicles that are able to engage the driver instead of treating him or her as another occupant who happens to be seated behind the steering wheel. The mkz succeeds in this respect, managing the difficult trick of delivering a ride that is generally comfortable with handling that makes it interesting and gratifying to drive quickly on a challenging country road. this sedan's advantages include a competitive price and the availability of all-wheel drive (front-wheel drive is standard), which isn't offered on most of the mkz's competitors. The drawbacks include its lack of electronic stability control or skid-management electronics. overall, the mkz is well rounded. It's suitable for day-to-day commuting even on the midwest's broken streets, comfy for long-distance cruising on an interstate and playful during a quick trip along a two-lane road through the mountains. It has plenty of power, but it uses regular fuel and delivers decent gas mileage. there are indications that quality should be good. The 2006 zephyr placed second in its segment in the annual initial quality survey conducted by j. Power and associates, just behind the lexus is 250/350 and ahead of the acura tl. This study looks for problems reported in the first 90 days of ownership. the mkz debuts in one of the most competitive classes in the new car market. Many appreciate its styling, but like many cars it lacks that intangible bit of magic that would make it utterly compelling. the five-passenger lincoln mkz is an upscale sibling to the ford fusion and mercury milan sedans. It's powered by a strong, 263-hp v6 with a six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard. All-wheel drive is available. Major standard equipment compares favorably with the best cars in this class, which includes the toyota avalon, nissan maxima, acura tl and cadillac cts. lineupthe 2007 lincoln mkz comes in one trim level, with either front-wheel drive 29,235) or all-wheel drive 31,105). leather upholstery, dual-zone temperature control, power heated front seats, a six-speaker am-fm stereo with six-cd changer and redundant controls on the steering wheel, cruise control, power windows and door locks with remote entry and a number pad on the door, 17-inch wheels and a 60/40 split and fold-down rear seat all come standard. options are relatively few. The most popular are a dvd-based navigation system with lincoln's high-power thx ii audio system 2,400) and a power moonroof 1,200). The mkz achieves acceptable ratings in heavy frontal and side-impact crash tests conducted by the insurance institute for highway safety, on a scale that includes good, acceptable, marginal, and poor. Some of the mkz's major competitors have good ratings in these tests. The mkz lacks one safety feature offered on most competitors and many cars that cost less: electronic stability control. Studies suggest that these skid-management systems are effective in reducing single-car accidents. walkaroundthe lincoln mkz is styled in conservative fashion, creating a prim, proper effect. The one exception is a big, chrome grille, which lincoln is using across its line in an effort to instill brand identity. the mkz has scored well in initial quality surveys, but we found some variance in vehicles we tested. One had prominently wide seams between hood and fenders. The doors slam with a resounding thud. The interior is generally a pleasant, convenient and reasonably quiet venue, if a bit less serene that a couple of other cars in this class. as one expects for the money, the interior looks more upscale than that in the ford fusion and mercury milan, which share the mkz's underpinnings and some major mechanical components. The trim plastics look best in lighter colors. All in all, the mkz interior doesn't come across as shameless luxury as much as comfortable well-to-do, which is pretty much the standard for this class. the controls for heating, cooling and the stereo are all easy to find and use. Storage is adequate. the optional navigation system works well. The video screen is smaller than many, but it's easy to figure out without excessive reliance on the owner's manual. All automakers make choices about where to spend and where to save, and many choose not include such detail in the navigation software. The trunk lid swings high for easy access, and the fold-down rear seat allows some flexibility for hauling more. forward and over-the-shoulder visibility is acceptable. But the high rear deck intended to increase trunk space also limits visibility immediately behind the mkz when backing up. driving impressionthe 2007 lincoln mkz features a new, more powerful engine, and it's a welcome improvement over the engine used in the zephyr. Horsepower from the new duratec 35 increases 20 percent to 263 hp, compared to the duratec 30 it replaces, and it puts the mkz on much better footing with the nissan maxima and infiniti g35. Moreover, the new engine delivers full power on regular 87 octane gas, and it comes with only a one-mpg decrease in epa mileage ratings (19 city, 27 highway with front-wheel drive). the larger engine, working with the efficiency of a six-speed automatic transmission, means great acceleration in the instances most drivers need it. It doesn't turn the 3,540-pound, all-wheel-drive mkz (about 130 pounds more than the front-wheel-drive model) into a rocket, but acceleration is more than acceptable for any reasonable task, including a quick merge onto a busy interstate, and it's satisfying just to feel the rush of power. The duratec 35 is also fairly quiet and smooth. the disappointment is that the six-speed automatic cannot be shifted manually, a fun and helpful feature driving on a twisty road or in the mountains. Moreover, lincoln could improve the control program to improve response at lower speeds. From a dead stop, or traveling at 50 mph, the transmission works great. Creeping out of a parking lot, for example, the transmission will shift up a gear or two, apparently to save fuel. But when the driver approaches the street and hits the gas for a hole in traffic, the transmission doesn't want to kick back down to first gear. The mkz bogs a bit, and the anticipated acceleration isn't there, which is annoying. when lincoln turned its 2006 zephyr into the 2007 mkz, one key objective was tightening up the suspension to make the car feel less floaty. We like the results. on a rough surface the mkz does a reasonably good job of shielding its occupants from broken pavement and poorly repaired potholes. But the engineers were clever enough to combine that ride with handling that is both reassuring and satisfying. Despite having much of its weight up front, the all-wheel-drive model we tested was reasonably quick to change direction and head into a turn, lacking the stubborn, nose-heavy feeling of some all-wheel-drive vehicles. the mkz's steering has a bit more weight than the zephyr's did, creating a more positive, satisfying response. Yet it doesn't feel heavy when either pulling into a parking spot or cruising at 65 mph. And there's no loose, sloppy feeling when the mkz is pointed straight ahead. Turn the wheel just a little bit and it begins to respond immediately, with no dead spot. The others are serious driving enthusiasts who are likely to want a little more weight and a slightly better sense of the car connecting with the driver. the brake pedal has a nice, progressive feel, and the brakes deliver more stopping power than the t.
