  1. Cocomats.com , Makes a custom driver side mat for the mkz 2013 - 2016 , this has a heavy duty rubber heel plate . The one he made for my 2016 extends up behind the brake petal for full coverage . If you want one call them and tell them your year and that you want the full coverage mats , they have a lot of good quality materials to choose from and are friendly to deal with . Good luck !
  2. I usually go with the 1/2 syn.1/2 dino , but have been reading that most are not 50 / 50 , so is it worth going full syn. ?
  3. So I am now driving the MKZh since 2013 , now my updated 2016 , I just drive like I always did before I had the hybrid ( just average type driving ), I am consistently getting 38 - 40 in all conditions and am very satisfied with that . When people talk to me about the car they are amazed at that kind of mpg for a car that looks like this .
  4. Any of those tires will be better than the mxm4 if you drive in snow .
  5. The MKZ ended in 2017 when Lincoln changed the unique look of the 2013 - 16 model to the 2017 "old man's Lincoln" front , instead of evolving the 2013 /16 into something daring they went backwards . I would have purchased the 2017 model until I saw what they did to it . So I traded my 2013 in for the last of the style 2016. I am still very happy with my 2016 original Z , and had hoped Lincoln would have moved its style forward , but it looks like the day of the sport sedan has been replaced with the different sizes of SUVs . The only way the Lincoln Z sedan could have survived is by being something special and the company did not want to invest in this idea . No other car comes close to the look of my 2016 Z , you can easily spot it in the parking lot , a gem among the ordinary .
  6. 28000. I was told they were needed at a fast lane oil change , then my dealer confirmed .
  7. this may be a bit late but I just had the 2016 hybrid rear brakes pads and rotors replaced at dealership for $232.49 , this was with a Ford coupon I found online .
  8. The car looks/is fantastic . So you are going to install the clear bra yourself , I do have the 3M on my 2016 installed by certified installers , hood , bumper ,wheel arches ,lights and mirror for $1050 , had it on the 13 and now 16 , always looks good never a problem .. Please tells us how it was installing this yourself , did you ever do this before ? The best of luck with the new wheels !
  9. I too like to try the new products that just came out , the thing I like about this is the easy of use and great result , you spray on car or micro towel wipe on turn over towel slight buff and boom ! goes easy on my shoulders .
  10. Ok after two shoulder operations I was ready for something like this . You get the Last coat wash and then after drying you spray on the last coat finish . This goes on very easy and with light buff it looks spectacular , supposed to last 24 weeks but it is such fun and easy to use I will be doing it more than that . The shine is comparable or better than Optimum opti coat ( 2 years ) but not as durable .
  11. Or you can have them wrapped with similar color as your car , either way wraps are good looking and last a long time . Mirrors wrapped should not be too expensive .
  12. At Quick for lane oil change ( Holyoke MA ) they said I needed rear brakes at 325 00 . Went online and found Ford coupon but Quick lane said this was for Ford only . Called my local dealership ( Johnson Pittsfield MA ) they said they will honor coupon , back rotors and pads replaced for 232.50 , I left there feeling good !
  13. I like this sound , I call it " The sound of the future " . Good luck with the car , I had a 2013 and now 2016 MKZh , I am completely happy with this car !
  14. Read about this compact SUV , looks real sharp ! Any news ?
  15. Same here with my first 2013 Z , now my current 2016 Z holds the colors .
  16. As usual Drolds1 has the correct information , thank you .
  17. Hi , I have a 2016 MKZh and so far the only controls I found are on the side of the front seat for the lower back , so I am wondering where the adjustments are on the screen . I too like this car it is my second one .
  18. I just discovered that by going on the Dr Colorchip page and getting your paint code then go to ebay and order the kit you can save shipping charges .
  19. Dr. Colorchip is the best and perfect color match . . For deep chips put on then next fill it again next day , while not perfect it will make chips tolerable .
  20. I have this in my carport for a year now and no sign of mice . Battery Operated Sonic Rat and Mouse Repeller By PestBye® £9.99.html
  21. Eurythmian , First I think the car is one of most stunning MKZs I have seen , I like that you framed the front license plate and is that a thin pinstripe ? I am a big fan of the 2013-16 front grill , I think Lincoln got too conservative when they redesigned the 17 model but that's another story . I have owned two Zs , the dash on the 2013 was a little off yours is way off in my opinion , but my 2016 is perfect and I was looking for it when I purchased the car as Lincoln certified used . I think a lot of the 13 models had this problem due to the fact it was the first of the new redesign . The fact is on a car this expensive that is unacceptable workmanship given that it is something you will see every time you get behind the wheel , of course over time it will not be that big a deal giving the fact that there is nothing you can do to make it better and over all the car looks fantastic , we learn to live with much worst things then this . Best of luck with your Z .
  22. Zalvern , Great observation from someone who has experience with and without the clear bra . I do have the clear bra on my car ( 2016 ) and had one on the 2013 , and while I had no chips on the hoods of either car I do wonder if it would be the same without the bra , I guess I could say that I have no chips because of the bra protection , in the end I feel better about having the bra on rather then going " nude" , but you make a good case for just a real good ceramic paint protection , it gives me something to think about .
  23. Yes by all means try it on the car as soon as you get it then see if it fits in the sub trunk space , if it fits you know it will work in an emergency , if it does not fit you can send it back right away . Check the air pressure and fill if need be then you will be all set . Good luck , this will give you peace of mind .
  24. This was for the 2013 MKZh with 18 inch tires and they were fine on the car when I rode on them . I now have a 2016 MKZh with 19 inch tires but have not tried the spare on it yet .
