How do these cars compare? What car would you chose if you had to decide between these two cars?

Replying to: priggly (Mar 21, 2006 12:47 am)  one could also say that the Zephyr is a fancy Ford with pretensions to something more. Nothing basically wrong with it of course, but going back just a bit, we had the LS which was not a fancy Ford sedan, but a proper Lincoln sedan. Lincoln has come down in stature...even Ford admits that. I wish they could have kept Lincoln in the Premier Auto Group. Lincoln moves down, Hyundai is moving up, and now, like it or not, some people will cross-shop the Azera and the MKZ.

Replying to: gregg_vw (Mar 21, 2006 7:51 am) Everything is coming down in stature. It's nothing more than the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Automotive entropy is increasing as well. That having been said, the MKZ/Zephyr is every bit a Lincoln. It has a quieter ride than the Town Car with less wind noise. It has a stylish interior with ultra high-end audio system, competent navigation, HID headlamps, real wood and a fabulous ride. All the car now lacks is the 3.5L engine and that will be remedied soon enough. The Azera, OTOH, is a Hyundai with halogen lamps, mediocre sound system, NO navigation, fake wood and a cheap-looking interior. It is a pretender very different from the MKZ/Zephyr. And for very little less in price. The Lincoln is the better buy in every regard.

Replying to: priggly (Mar 21, 2006 3:15 pm) However, the Zephyr is a still a Lincoln (which still has more cache than Hyundai, even if expressed in fancy Ford rather than Lincoln language), it is arguably better looking than the Azera, and does have real wood (for whatever that is worth). So some will buy one and some the other. Neither one right now is burning up the sales charts.

Replying to: displacedtexan (Mar 22, 2006 8:59 am) Unlike a lot of other people, it is not a factor for me. I never take my cars to the dealer--with the exception of my previous Audi where service was included. I suppose even I would return if there were adjustments to be made under warranty, but in all my most recent purchases, there hasn't been anything to correct.

Replying to: gregg_vw (Mar 22, 2006 11:16 am) You haven't had any warranty work done on an Audi?  Or, have recent purchases been something other than Audi? I just ask because Audi reliability reputation seems to have suffered lately.
