I wish they had seat memory and Homelink. Come to think of it I wish I knew they were going to create a 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid or I would have waited for that!

They've got to be kidding with the price! It'll be four or five years before I upgrade (unless the price goes up much more - in which case I won't upgrade at all)

Yes. Sometimes that's the only way I can tell that they are on too.

I'm wondering if the volume is different in different cars. If I have the radio (not loud either), I can barely hear the turn signal. Do we know if they are using electronic or mechanical flashers?

The turn signal noise doesn't bother me either. Are we sure that this is an electronic sound rather than the actual mechanical sound of the turn signal relay? My father's Nissan Versa has the same sound with it's turn signal. If it isn't mechanical then is the flasher relay electronic? I'd love to change the turn signals to LED bulbs.

Ford uses Motocraft Semi-synthetic oil but I switched out to Mobil 1 fully synthetic.

Oil change is just as easy as any other car. Taking the oil drain and filter panels off added another step but didn't complicate anything.

I "over-inflated" my last car's tires to 45 psi for better than 1 mpg return and saw no significant difference in the longevity of the tires or shocks. It was a 1996 Infiniti I30t with 210,000 miles on it and it only needed one set of shocks during the entire life of the car. I did notice a harsher ride with the last car but my MMH's ride seems to not be that bad with the over-inflated tires.

I totally agree. If they ever offer an affordable conversion for that (which I doubt they would) I would definitely be interested.

Those look like milk crates!

I'm getting around 39.2 with 8700 miles on the odometer. In the late summer and early fall I was getting a little over 40.

If someone goes as far as breaking the window, it wouldn't surprise me if they popped the trunk with a crowbar anyway. The locks and alarm are meant as theft deterrents and little will actually prevent someone that wants in. I'd pull the trunk release button out and remove the wires off it if it were that important to me. By the way, cars that have a trunk cable release have no way of preventing a trunk entry if the window is broken either.

Just saw the new look of the forum and I think it looks great! Nice Job!

I've got mine up to 42 psi and it rides pretty comfortable. It also seems that when the engine is cold that driving lightly at about 35-45mph get's the best fuel economy.

You would have to check with your state laws but in New Jersey any window film on any of the windows on side or in front of the driver is illegal. The film itself is illegal supposedly due to it's blurring properties and not due to the darkness of the tint.
