DESIGN
The Lincoln design team faced the dual challenge of creating a standout vehicle in a competitive field, while further refining the Lincoln design DNA that started with the 2013 MKZ. From its signature split-wing grille to its uniquely crafted, handsfree wraparound liftgate, the Lincoln DNA is evident. “Our design team worked tirelessly to create a vehicle that attracts new customers to the brand while meeting the expectations of long-

time Lincoln drivers,” said Max Wolff, director, Lincoln Design. “The execution of the new liftgate is a prime example of how a premium design element can create a better customer experience.” MKC presents a sleek, sculpted body that helps it stand out among peers. Its high beltline and low shoulders create a sturdy, athletic presence, while features such as soft exterior lighting, pedestal side-view mirrors and an available panoramic, all-glass Vista Roof
When equipped with the all-new 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, MKC offers 285 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 305 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm. Class-exclusive Active Grille Shutters are designed to help improve MKC fuel efficiency at highway speeds. MKC comes standard with a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder turbocharged engine, projected to produce 240 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 270 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm, according to preliminary test data. This makes Lincoln MKC an all-EcoBoost vehicle. MKC comes standard with front-wheel drive and 18-inch wheels. Drivers can upgrade to Lincoln’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.

A Clean Test Drive
Waco Tribune-Herald
o matter how good it looks or how beautifully it’s described in the ad, every used car has to pass one test: Does it feel right when you drive it?
Getting behind the wheel of a used car is one of the best ways of judging whether it’s the right one for you, and that’s an answer that’s going to be different for every driver. Some drivers want a car that feels crisp, firm, sporty and precise. Others want a car that floats comfortably and smoothly down the road, soaking up the bumps. Aside from getting an overall feeling for the vehicle, though, here are some things to think about when doing your test drive.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Before putting the car into gear, sit in the driver’s seat and play with all the switches and buttons you see. Do the power windows and locks work? Are the A/C and heater doing their jobs? Does the CD player work properly? You should also pay attention to any smells in the car, especially if they might be covered up by a cleverly installed air freshener. Let the car air out for a few minutes, then come back to see if it smells smoky or moldy. Pungent smells can be difficult to remove after you buy the car.
ON THE ROAD
For the test drive itself, you’ll want to make sure you drive in a wide variety of conditions and speeds. Make sure you get a sense for how the vehicle drives at highway speeds, so plan on driving it somewhere with a speed limit of 60 mph or higher. Pay close attention to
any front-end problems that will reveal themselves on the highway, like shakes, shimmies and vibrations. Note any strange feelings in the steering. If the steering wheel is vibrating at any speed, that’s a sign that the car has a problem — perhaps very minor, or perhaps major, depending on the cause. You should accelerate from a standstill and take note of any issues. Listen for any unusual sounds, and notice whether the car steers to one side or the other under acceleration. Pay attention to how the transmission shifts. Check the brakes on the car to make sure the pedal feels firm, the car stops in a controlled way and doesn’t pull to one side or the other. A slight vibration at the brake pedal or squealing sound could be a sign that it will need a brake job soon.
AFTER THE DRIVE
Take a break after the test drive to evaluate your feelings and see anything that you might have missed after your first walk around the car. It’s a good idea to leave the car running while you walk around and listen for any unusual noises outside the vehicle. Check for unusual exhaust gases, puddles under the car and leaks in the engine bay. If you haven’t done so already, open all the doors and sit in the back seats to see how they fit. You’ll notice different aspects of the car while sitting in back, and it might help you choose one vehicle over another.

Five things to look for when shopping for your next vehicle (BPT) - It’s that time again - time to buy a new car. Maybe you’re excited because you’ve been dreaming of getting new wheels for a long time now. Or maybe you’re nervous; buying a car is a big financial commitment and you want to make sure you do your homework. If you fall into this second group, don’t worry; these five simple questions can help you find a vehicle that fits your lifestyle. * Is it a lemon? When you purchase your vehicle, the last thing you want to do is shop for another car in a couple of years. Picking a reliable vehicle is key. So how do you do it? Make a list of the vehicles you’re

interested in and head to the Web to research previous vehicle recalls. If you are buying a used car, websites like CarFax.com and others can also show you the history of that particular car, giving you insight into just how reliable it will be. * Where’s the value? Whether safety is your top concern or you want the most vehicle for your money, it’s all about value. USAA, which provides car buying guidance (or help) and recommendations to its members, recently released its fourth-annual Best Value list identifying the top vehicles for 2014. The list includes vehicles that finished at the top of USAA’s
