You're trying to choose between some of the features on your next car, and then you come to deciding between rear-wheel and front-wheel drive. "What is the difference," you ask yourself. At Performance Ford Lincoln, we want you to have the knowledge to make an informed decision, so we've put together some of the key differences.

How would you like a vehicle that makes driving easier and more comfortable? If that sounds good, why not try the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. This popular midsize luxury car features an adjustable suspension so that you can enjoy the ride the way that you like it best. It also features a cruise control system that makes driving with the cruise control set even less tiring than before.

The Lincoln MKZ is a full-size sedan that has an elegant design with the latest high-tech features. The lineup for this luxury car includes the Premiere, Select, Reserve and Black Label.

SYNC 3 is the main software that is set up in the infotainment system of the Lincoln MKZ. GPS navigation with colorful mapping is at your fingertips. You may also speak directly to a virtual guide that's ready to take real-time requests for directions and other information. 

Navigating the roads in places like Randolph provides plenty of opportunity for car owners to assist other drivers in need. One of the most common things that other drivers need, is a quick jump start. It is very important that you understand the proper way to jump start another car. Your own vehicle’s systems rely on it.

While situated in a safe place, bring the front ends of both cars together. Using clearly marked jumper cables, clasp a positive connector to the positive terminal of the dead battery. 

Most vehicular breakdowns in Randolph can be easily prevented, if only drivers better understand how important their gaskets are. Sadly, many don’t really get what these are or what they do. We’re dedicated to the safety of drivers here, so we want to share some information on the nature of gaskets.

Gaskets are flexible seals, usually made of steel or copper and rubber. They’re supposed to stop liquids from mixing or escaping and keeping air in or out of places they should or shouldn’t be. 

Most drivers think that when their car fails to start it is because their battery is dead. However, in some cases it could be due to the starter not working. One of the ways you can tell the difference between the battery and starter causing ignition problems is if there is a grinding noise. This could mean that the starter drive gear is not working.

At first glance, the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid luxury midsize car is a welcomed departure from similar vehicles in its class. Designed to impress, everything from its dynamic exterior design to its superior interior amenities redefines expectations.

While the powertrain and automatic transmission system elevate its performance, the adaptive cruise control is the true star of the show.

Bad weather can strike at any time, and it is often necessary to drive cars or trucks in these types of conditions. There are many hazards related to bad weather driving, but one of the most insidious is known as hydroplaning.

Hydroplaning happens when very thin wedges of water build up between tire treads and hard road surfaces. 

Road trips are meant for fun. However, not all people enjoy since they fail to plan accordingly. Apart from having a list of the must-have items, you must consider the condition of your vehicle. In fact, the car is one of the important things to check because it can ruin your trip if you do not observe the following:
