The MKZ's gauges are a straightforward black-on-white affair. At night, the numbers and letters sparkle in a clean white glow. It's a classy presentation, distinctive in it's old-fashioned simplicity, and the gauges and LED displays are easy to read.
The MKZ's THX stereo, (more letters is just what this car needed), sounds remarkably good. The controls are easy to use, with the exception of the tuner’s up-and-down buttons. I’d prefer a more natural knob.
