Lincoln MKT is a tall (or long) glass o' water! It's so long, you almost wonder if you should stop after a turn to let the rear end catch up! No really, for the most part, the MKT's size was really convenient, allowing me the same seating capacity as a minivan with a load of extra luxury features you aren't likely to see in a minivan like heated AND cooled second row seating (optional).

That long-toothed grille will either impress or frighten you - at least that's what I got from my friends and family. The height of MKT confused me as it was easy to slip in and out of the drivers seat, but from said perch I felt elevated with a great view of the road.

Comfy seats and beautiful finishes fill the interior where brilliant shimmers caught my eye with every glance. I would actually look forward to getting into this car...it took care of me. A pretty important statement coming from an admittedly frazzled mom. Yep, MKT made me feel comfy, pampered, safe and sassy all at once.

Despite it's size, my MKT was fast!!! I caught myself squawking the tires doing a Michigan left onto Woodward Ave. - in front of a bunch of construction workers who looked at me as if they thought I was 'bout to run 'em over. "Sorry guys! It's the car, she's got spunk!"

Our absolute favorite feature of the MKT was the freezer/fridge in the second row center console. This thing was awesome and it really worked. My son loved putting his drinks in there and I daydreamed about all the options; family picnics, baby bottles, ice packs for soccer games, etc... it really opened the vehicle up to a variety of useful possibilities.
