    Yea.. Just doesn't really have a direct diesel competitor

    I'll have to watch both.. Does it say anything like the station name or something on the right scree?
  3. Eddie Sessum
    I'd suspect radio station itself

    Stays up.. I think it's more a signal issue if it gets corrupt info it pulls it off

    I got my hd working.. It was turned on and wasn't working but turning it off and back on it worked.. Maybe a mft bug who knows

    Waiting to hear from the dealership owner to see what he says.. He's out of town I guess at some kind of classic car race

    Dish soap worked for the makeup on the visor.. This other stuff it fades away and comes back when it drys

    I have it enabled and it never picks up any of them. Never gives me the 1-2-3 option neither as we have quite a few channels that are better in 2-3 and not the standard ones.

    Mine doesnt. I just know almost every vehicle ive seen with it its always a button. In our case I figured it would have been by the ACC buttons for distance. But since you got it now I know it doesnt have a button on the wheel.

    Steve are you sure the wiring isnt already there on our cars? I would suspect it is but the new steering wheel wouldnt have the buttons which include the heated button. So you would need to buy the buttons too.

    I still cant figure out how to force HD radio. My old truck you could hear a difference when it tuned in. On this one does it just tune in instantly?
  12. Eddie Sessum
    But when you price around an optioned vehicle. I believe the BMW in similar option will still run 10-12grand if not more above the passat of the same.

    I read a review on the car and they compared it to an accord as far as the actual vehicle overall. Other than its a MB.. Your still paying a premium for the name.

    Sending you a PM in a minute on how to get the best price. If I post it public and ford finds it they may change there rules and mess it up.

    You can only see it at certain angles. Best idea I could say it kinda looks like what happens when you get rust on your hands and give a smear on something light colored. I dont have a good camera to try to get a good pic.

    I have these 2 spots on my headliner. One in the front behind the visor hook on the passanger side and one around the same location at the complete back of the headliner. Anybody have any clue what could have caused this in manufacturing? It was on the car from day one and they did some cleaning on it and it went away for a bit but reappeared. The owner of the dealership is out of town right now and I gotta wait to hear back from him as far as lincoln doing anything about it. Maybe there is something out there to help clean these away other than dawn and water which is all ive heard from people?

    Traffic def helps if you have ACC and it does autobraking and eco take-offs.

    I didn't look that close at the titanium after they couldn't get me a white platinum one I decided to move on.. That's when I got lucky with my special order that the guy didn't take delivery
  19. Eddie Sessum
    If they marketed the hybrids with the 150k mile warranty in the carb states im sure they could sell quite a few more.
  20. Eddie Sessum
    Leather vs the titanium is alot nicer. Also the comfort it alot better. I cant say vs the SE luxury package. Havent seen one.
  21. Eddie Sessum
    Like i said before. On flat land the 62mph was the limit for best milage going back and forth and I believe it offset itself to a 0% gain. In the hills, above 62mph is of big benefit because of downhill regen. Thats why some people can get over 50mpg average at 70-75mph. Just depends on the hilly layout.
  22. Eddie Sessum
    Get up to 70mph on a bridge going up and let off the gas going down. If you go into ev mode your fine.
  23. Eddie Sessum
    Look at how many miles of 20ish takes to recharge at those speeds. Compare that and divide to how many ev miles you get on one charge before it kicks on the ice. You don't get me distance on full ev at hwy speeds.
  24. Eddie Sessum
    You have had people explain the same to you on other posts and you refuse to believe it.. Im not trying to convince you anything anymore. EV power has to come from somewhere, it doesnt just pull it out of the air.
  25. Eddie Sessum
    But on the highway you don't use the brakes. So your not getting regen. Your just making the ICE work harder and use more fuel to recharge the battery to go into EV mode again. No gas to electric system is 100% efficient and id say the ICE charging system is around 75% efficient so your loosing 25% of your efficiency by going back and forth. I know my 75% number isnt accurate but its an example. Its why hybrids do so well in the city mpg and traffic. That stopping and charging off the brakes makes it go way up but you have very little to none of that on the highway. Its why you dont see electric cars that run completely on a generator without a battery. Without regen its a waste to put those systems. (Nobody start comparing this to trains and there diesel electric setups plz).
