The 2007 Lincoln MKZ is not simply a rebadged Zephyr, but a significantly improved vehicle all around. It offers increased power, cleaner emissions, a six-speed automatic transmission, and intelligent AWD in an affordable, premium sedan. Despite its similarity to the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, it’s a good looking car, especially with the standard 17-inch wheels and low-profile tires. The interior is pleasing with wood trim, high-quality leather, satin nickel, chrome accents and electro-luminescent lighting surrounding the chrome-ringed gauges. The MKZ has a roomy 15.8 cu. ft. of trunk space, and the DVD navigation system is straightforward and easy to use.
