Kevin Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Well have after having 2 Honda Hybrids for the last 7 & 10 years, we decided that we needed something a little bigger - but still good mileage (we are used to 60mpg ++). Here is where the story gets interesting, I thought that it would be some Japanese, Korean or other foreign car. After driving the Sonata (not a chance), the Optima (mileage is not great), the Volt (certainly an option - not very comfortable), the Fusion (hybrid and plug in), the new Accord Plug In, and a couple others that never made the finals. The short list was the Fusion, Volt and MKZ. Now, one of the things we really wanted was the fold down seats. Fast forward to the end of the story (saga) - We are picking up the 14 MKZ tomorrow. Loaded - every option but the rear window shade (not available with the big, big Panoramic roof). After it was all said and done - this will be my first Ford product I have ever purchased. The MKZ Hybrid is the most comfortable, luxurious car I have the opportunity to drive. (Hope its not like my new golf clubs - Loved them on the range, not the same clubs on the course).

Kevin Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 I will see if I can post some pictures - if I can ever get my wife out of the car. The massage seats are a big hit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediBoyTJ Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Welcome! Ford has been making some great Hybrids for years now. I have a 2012 MKZ Hybrid, and even though its an older system/body style, its still one of the most fuel efficient and comfortable cars I have ever driven. Post some pictures soon! robertlane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that I posted this elsewhere, however, here's a tutorial link on how to post photos. If you need help, please let me know. http://warnerrobert.com/forum_tutorial/forum/2-tutorials/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
