2013 Nissan Maxima

The 2013 Nissan Maxima is a full-size sedan that is aimed at the near-luxury crowd.  Roomy inside, and with above-average handling for its class, the Nissan Maxima can be loaded with technology via several available options packages.

The 2013 Nissan Maxima is motivated by a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that has been tuned to provide 290 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque.  Unlike many of its contemporaries, the Maxima comes standard with a continuously-variable automatic transmission, which helps it turn in fuel mileage of 19-mpg in stop and go driving and 26-mpg on the highway.

There is an incentive of 0.0% financing plus $500 cash back or $3,500 total cash back on the 2013 Nissan Maxima available until 02/28/2014.

2014 Ford Escape

The 2014 Ford Escape is a compact crossover that drives much more like a small sedan than a bulky truck.  The Ford Escape also offers features like the MyFord Touch vehicle interface and the option of an automated parking system, and it can seat as many as five passengers as well as haul up to 68.1 cubic feet of cargo.

The 2014 Ford Escape starts out with a 168 horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood, which can be upgraded to a 1.6-liter, turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder unit that generates 178 horsepower.  The top-tier Escape is equipped with a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine that is good for 240 horses and 270 lb-ft of twist.  Fuel mileage for the 1.6-liter leads the way with a rating of 23-mpg city and 33-mpg highway, and while all versions of the Escape come with a six-speed automatic transmission, only the turbo motors can be matched with the option of all-wheel drive.

There is an incentive of 0.0% financing plus $1,000 cash back or $2,500 total cash back on the 2014 Ford Escape available until 03/17/2014.

2014 Lincoln MKZ

The 2014 Lincoln MKZ is a mid-size luxury car that features exceptional styling for its price point, as well as one of the best interiors ever produced by the premium brand.  The Lincoln MKZ is also notable for offering a hybrid model for the same cost as the gas-only edition.

The 2014 Lincoln MKZ's base 2.0-liter, turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque, while its optional 3.7-liter V-6 churns out 300 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque.  Both motors are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and can be specified with the option of all-wheel drive.  Fuel mileage for the EcoBoost unit is listed at 26-mpg in city driving and 33-mpg on the highway.

There is an incentive of 0.0% financing plus $1,000 cash back on the 2014 Lincoln MKZ available until 03/31/2014.

2013 Hyundai Accent

The 2013 Hyundai Accent provides budget-conscious buyers with the choice of either a stylish subcompact sedan or a practical subcompact hatchback.  The Hyundai Accent hatchback's 47.5 cubic feet of total cargo space sweeten the deal when it comes to utility, and five passenger seating is included with either body style.

The 2013 Hyundai Accent offers 138 horsepower and 123 lb-ft of torque, shifted via either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission.  Fuel mileage for the thrifty Accent shows as 27-mpg in city driving and 37-mpg on the highway.

There is an incentive of $1,000 cash back on the 2013 Hyundai Accent available until 02/28/2014.

2014 Chevrolet Traverse

The 2014 Chevrolet Traverse is a large full-size crossover that pairs eight passenger seating with an absolutely enormous 116.3 cubic feet of total cargo space.  The Chevrolet Traverse also features a smooth and comfortable ride when compared against other equally-capable truck-based SUVs.

The 2014 Chevrolet Traverse is equipped with a 3.6-liter V-6 as its only available power plant.  The motor generates up to 288 horses and 270 lb-ft of twist, and it is managed by a six-speed automatic transmission.  All-wheel drive can be added to the Traverse as an option, and front-wheel drive editions return fuel mileage of 17-mpg around town and 24-mpg on the highway.

There is an incentive of 0.0% financing or $1,500 cash back on the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse available until 02/28/2014.
