2010 Lincoln MKT Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Lincoln MKT:

Other than the goofy proportions and polarizing snout, perhaps the most immediately noteworthy thing about the MKT is how pleasant it is inside its cabin. The interior is serenely quiet, even at triple-digit speeds, thanks to heaps of sound deadening; laminated, thicker windows; and aerodynamic tuning that included optimizing the shape of the side mirrors.

A unique feature is the MyKey system that is something like a valet key, but customizable. For example, a parent can limit the top speed of the vehicle, set a maximum volume loudness and program the low-fuel light to come on early, thus reminding the young driver to slow down, pay attention and not run out of gas. My father wishes he had this system when I was learning to drive.

The "premium innovations" list reads like a Mercedes or Lexus spec sheet, as recited by Bill Gates.

What reviewers liked least about the Lincoln MKT:

The MKT's seats are cushy but not particularly supportive-it is a cruiser, after all.

-- Car and Driver

Note the lack of a substantial bumper.

-- Road & Track

When pushed, the electric power steering feels too light and needs corrections on crowned or bumpy roads.

Lincoln MKT Comparisons:

The EcoBoost engine is a worthy alternative to the V-8, able to motivate large, heavy objects along vast expanses of American highway. Powering the MKT, it feels more sprightly than the 350-horsepower, 325-pound-feet Q7 V-8.

Best one-liner about the Lincoln MKT:

As buyers move away from full-size truck-based SUVs, the MKT makes a stylish and capable alternative.
