Is she set on a sedan, or is there any interest in a small SUV? Ms. CH is driving an Escape Hybrid and loves it. The vehicle is quiet, rides well, and averages 34 mpg.Originally Posted by fastblackmerc

I have driven both, I feel the LS simply cannot handle the MKZ. Its in a different league (V6). Also, the styling is much nicer, and the car is spacious.
Personally I would look into the Milan premier V6 AWD. Looks as good and performs the same. Good Luck pleasing the MS.

MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.
Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.
IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

Will do if it's pre-owned.

If it's the MKZ or Milan they would have to be the AWD version. Also looking Chargers... the non-V6 kind.

I'll take any MM... red, blue, silver, black....
The wife's response to another MM was "I don't like your car... why would I get one?"

MKZ ....... we checked it out, and were impressed.
Also, even if there has been some unkind words spoken, from me, even, we liked the MKX even better, especially the safety features.
Can you say headlights that look around the corner + AWD + heated & cooled seats, which we love in the Aviator + that silky smooth 6sp tranny.

The Milan is actually a nice car. I had one as a loaner for a week. Handles well, smooth,and that new V6 is nice. this one didn't have the leather interior etc, and I'd want that if I were to get one.

Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

Well....... test drove an MKZ, wife relly liked it. A minature Lincoln.
Test drove a Charger R/T.
She's getting the Charger. It's a Silver Steel Metallic R/T w/ the R&T package. Some serious competition for my MM.......
