akirby Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 The worst of it was noise from the optional sport tires (a Lincoln first) the MKZ is more willing to change direction quickly than any Lincoln before. My my how quickly they forget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 There's still a few LS on the 'Island' here at a reasonable price and low KM. Temping for sure but parts can be a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billtkat Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) Can someone tell me under what mph does the Hybrid stay all electric and for how long? I thought the dealer said or I read like under 62 miles per hour it remains all electric but can not remember if that is correct. Even so I can not find info on how long it can do that without going back to gas. I assume that at some point it would. A lot of our driving is local under 50 so was curious , thanks I am asking about the 2013 hybrid , thanks Edited December 24, 2012 by billtkat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgman Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 It can go up to 60ish on electric, BUT it often doesn't for reasons unknown. It sometimes idles intpo gas with plenty of battery left. It is doing it's energy managemnt thing I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stentgraft95 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 My my how quickly they forget. My daily driver for almost the last 10 years. My 03 Lincoln LS has been without doubt the finest automobile I've ever owned. The only thing I've had to do to her aside from routine maintenance has been to put a throttle body on her this past spring. I still love the way it drives and the only reason I've ordered a new MKZ is because I'm a techie. What a great car it's been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the ES 300H goes back to gas over 20 MPH so hoping to take more advantage with the MKZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine kicks in and out regardless of speed dependingf on what it thinks its needs are. If it only did what you stated, the milega ewould be much higher. In fact electric only mode only lasts a brief time no matter what speed you arew driving, smae as last years model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
