  1. Thise tires have a warranty that guarantees them to last 45k miles as long as you can prove you rotated them at regular 8k or less intervals. You can file a claim with Michelin if you have the documentation to prove you maintaned them as required.
  2. The thing about cool cars is that they are that way without seemingly trying too hard. It should come natural because cool cars like cool people are not overly concerned with what others think. We who buy the MKZ buy it because we have taste and instinctively know style when we see it. We lead, others eventually follow. I know my MKZ is cool and that’s good enough for me.
  3. Mine is a 2014 MKZ Hybrid. It was the top equipment group which I think was called Reserve. Decent performance compared to a non-hybrid. But I do not drive aggressively since comfort and fuel economy are my goals. I am very happy with this car as it is the best vehicle I have ever owned. The things that I do not like about the vehicle are not even worth mentioning or have already been addressed in the 2015 model revisions. For example I did not like how the folding side mirrors were not powered but they have since rectified that in the newer model year. That aside I wish the power window buttons were set about ¼ of an inch further back as I tend to hit the buttons to open the rear windows when I meant to open the front ones. This is hardly a complaint just an observation. I did not look at any other vehicle in this segment. I had previously owned, a VW and several Cadillacs and Lincolns. I fell in love with this car the day it came out. I knew that there was nothing out there that even came close to the MKZ. Many other luxury cars are simply overrated while the Lincoln unfortunately is usually overlooked. I did not want to drive a Mercedes or BMW like everyone else as I wanted something unique and special. As far as technology I do not have the extra technology package but the equipment group I bought came with the GPS, backup camera, Bliss and most other bells and whistles. I simply love it all and think that they did a wonderful job with everything. If I had to do it again I would have spent the extra money and gone for the technology package but I can tell you that even without it this vehicle is very technologically advanced. Reliability has been 100% I would definitely buy it again. In many years from now perhaps my next one will have the technology package and the panoramic roof (I have the regular moon roof and am very happy but the panoramic roof looks amazing) Tell your friend to talk to his local dealer about the date night promotion. He should definitely look into this vehicle.
  4. It is terrible that you are having all these problems. I have a 2014 MKZ Hybrid and my problems are barley worth mentioning. It seems like you got a raw deal but I still believe that this is a great vehicle. I bought the top trim package with the regular moon roof. The only options I skipped were the technology package, the panoramic roof, the inflatable seatbelts and the rear sunscreen. My only regret is that I probably should have gone for the technology package. Anyhow, I am 45 years old and have owned 3 Lincolns (including this one) and 4 Cadillacs. This is by far the best car I have ever owned. The build quality, ride quality and overall level of excellence is without a doubt the best I have ever experienced. I hope that you are able to work the bugs out and keep your MKZ because when all thing fall into place, it is truly a remarkable vehicle.
  5. I have owned many Garmin portable GPS systems and I find the GPS in my 2014 MKZ to be as good if not better then any Garmin GPS I have ever owned.
  6. The 19" look much better and make the car in my opinion. As far as the ride goes I tested both and did not notice any difference. It is such a great riding car that any difference felt would be negligible.
