We take the all-wheel-drive Lincoln to Subaru country.
Western Washington in winter = rain
Surprisingly enough, I spent the better part of a week in Washington state – during the winter – without experiencing a drop of rain. The rest of my working vacation wasn’t quite so pleasant, but it did give me a chance to test out the 2010 Lincoln MKT in wet conditions. Rain-sensing wipers, an increasingly common feature, worked as intended, though I did need to select a higher speed when encountering a sudden downpour. From a handling perspective, traveling along the sloggy highway at speeds in excess of 65 mph didn’t result in any hydroplaning or worries about loss of traction.
