The new 2010 Lincoln MKT has a characteristic exterior with an eye-catching front grille design. Engine options are a basic 3.7-liter V6 or the premium 355-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, further complemented by all-wheel drive. Backed by six-speed automatic transmission and powerful brakes, the 2010 Lincoln MKT is a pleasure to drive in any kind of terrain.

4 Easy Methods To Determine Which Lincoln model Suits You

2009-09-30T06:49:00.000-07:00

The Luxury car from the Ford Motor company, Lincoln, leaves one spoilt for choice while zeroing in on a particular model from either of these brands. We at Central Florida Lincoln Mercury, having served as a leading car dealer at Orlando and the surrounding areas for quite a while now, thought we will simplify the process of choosing a Lincoln Model to suit individual tastes, personality and of course, budget.

#1 Think Practical – Practicality is the most important aspect to be considered while choosing a vehicle. This is not rocket science, you just need to be clear on a few things, such as, "How many passengers do you want to accommodate?, "Will it fit in to your garage?" "Will this car be able to handle the roads in your area?" "I am quite an outdoor person, will I be able to haul all my recreation gear into this car?", and so on. If you have a Lincoln in mind, the 2010 Lincoln Navigator is the choice as a "large family car", if you have many passengers to transport, as well if you are an outdoor enthusiast, you can circle the 2010 Lincoln Navigator in your list of probabilities. If you happen to need a Lincoln just to get you to the office and back, then the 2010 Lincoln MKS or the 2010 Lincoln Town car should be at the top of your list.

#2 Adhere to your budget - Budget is not limited to the monthly finance/down payment/ lease amount. The fuel costs, maintenance costs, depreciation, insurance and other factors very much need to be considered while budgeting. If your budget for the primary cost is less than $40,000, the 2010 Lincoln MKZ should just be ideal. If you are looking for a huge car and have allotted a considerable amount of budget, then feel free to indulge in a 2010 Lincoln Navigator!

#3 Get Emotional – It's equally important to find a car that is perfectly in tune with your emotions. Since a car is a long term investment, you should spend some time in determining what type of car will keep you happy, over the long run.

#4 Test Drive to get the Best Drive - There is no better way to decide what your ideal car is than getting hands-on experience before choosing the car that will drive you practically everywhere. And don't just test drive for a few minutes, take your time. Test drive on the roads you frequently use to check out how comfortable the car is in handling the conditions – bumps, rain, snow or ice, traffic etc. Schedule a Test Drive with Central Florida Lincoln Mercury today.
These simple but highly effective steps go a long way in ensuring you are drive the perfect Lincoln . Please share with us your views/tips. We are eagerly waiting to hear from you.

2009 Lincoln MKS - indeed, a safe bet!

2009-08-21T03:27:00.000-07:00

Luxury and class may make a car a matter of envy, but safety is what is of prime importance to the one flaunting it.

The 2009 Lincoln MKS has been named as a Top Safety Pick in the large luxury category by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

The IIHS is an independent, non-profit organization that is committed to reducing the losses caused due to highway accidents. Vehicles are rated by the IIHS after front, side and rear-impact crash tests.

IIHS rates frontal crash-worthiness based on results of 40 mph frontal offset crash tests. Side evaluations are based on performance in a crash test in which the side of a vehicle is struck at 31 mph. Rear crash protection is rated according to a test which simulates a collision in which a stationary vehicle is struck in the rear at 20 mph.

Top Safety Pick recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting people in front, side, and rear crashes based on these ratings. Winners also have to have electronic stability control (ESC), which , according to research, significantly reduces crash risk.

The mid-sized sedan 2009 Lincoln MKS earned the highest rating in its class, and we at Central Florida Lincoln Mercury, (Orlando, Fl) are happy to vouch for the 2009 Lincoln MKS, for having received a safety badge along with its already renowned luxury and class.
