Customers who buy luxury sedans have different expectations of the ride character. The 2007 Lincoln MKZ delivers plush comfort and overall smoothness. That said, despite changes to spring and damping rates to improve handling, this is not a sporty car to drive. While it steers around hard corners with enough ease and precision at speed, we found its steering too light at slower speeds, with a dead spot on center. The suspension tuning clearly favors smoothness and refinement rather than performance. Despite this, the MKZ tracks straight and doesn’t wallow. The brakes, tires and all-wheel drive do their job to keep the MKZ on the path you intend.
