2010 lincoln mkt review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. And no wonder; this sporty, crisp-handling new crossover suv is worth a second look. For many families these days, clunky truck-based sport utilities are being recognized for what they are: clunky trucks. With its distinctive, slightly hunchback lines behind the rear door, it will be instantly recognizable in the traffic flow. But the new ecoboost engine achieves decent epa city/highway ratings of 16/22 mpg, while providing full-size, three-row seating and a full list of amenities. where the mkt leaves the competition behind, however, is in its over-the-road dynamics. We drove the twisting, hurtling new york state backcountry for a day, and the mkt proved itself completely at home on what would otherwise have been called sports car roads. Simple: sudden accident-avoidance maneuvers require exactly the same extreme vehicle dynamics as high-performance driving. In a crisis, family suvs need the safety option offered by agility. in addition to exhibiting excellent handling, the lincoln mkt is a comfortable, lavishly appointed luxury crossover. Its interior is part living room on wheels, part wood-lined room at the club. It even features power second-row seats that leap forward at the touch of a button for easy access to the third row. The second row can be comfy twin buckets, yielding seating for a total of six, or bench seating with seating for seven. A voice-actuated lincoln sync communication and entertainment system can be combined with two separate seatback dvd screens. There will be no backseat fighting over what to watch. And sirius satellite and travel link provide entertainment and all relevant traffic, weather and local information, including full listings regional gas stations, arranged by nearness or price per gallon. a full inventory of airbags is standard, and the mkt received a top safety pick from the insurance institute for highway safety. Additional safety equipment includes blind-spot warning, cross-traffic and rear alert for use in parking lots, a rearview camera, gap-sensitive adaptive cruise control with collision warning and brake support and much more. lineupthe 2010 lincoln mkt 44,200) comes with a 270-hp 3. 7-liter v6, front-wheel drive, six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. All-wheel drive is available, which enhances traction and stability in adverse conditions. walkaroundthe lincoln mkt is a prime example of the design phenomenon that smoothly rounded styling often makes a vehicle look smaller than it is. With the debatable exception of the mkt grille, the vehicle has a graceful, attractive, and declaratively chrome-y american presence. Its toothy grille seems a bit overbearing, purportedly a latter-day restatement of the timelessly elegant 1939 lincoln continental prow. in profile, the mkt's hunchback character line at the aft side windows adds interest, though the dramatic narrowing of these third windows is fair warning that third-row headroom and space is limited. the distinctive, somewhat bluff styling of the rear end and power hatch resembles the tail of a chrysler pt cruiser on growth hormones. Handsome 19- or 20-inch sport wheels and wide tires give the mkt a sportingly dynamic tone. but make no mistake, this full-size crossover is figuratively and literally a whale of a vehicle. Bumper to bumper, it is longer than two of its primary full-size rivals, acura mdx and audi q7. It also has a considerably longer wheelbase than either of these offshore entries. The mdx roofline is lower than either the acura or the audi, lending it a handsomely modeled and noticeably sleeker stance than its competitors. At 4925 pounds in ecoboost all-wheel-drive form, it is slightly heavier than the mdx but a massive 500 pounds lighter than the heavy audi q7. the prospect of parallel parking all this bulk in a normal parking space might seem an intimidating chore. The audio is powerful, excellent and easy to use. The audio system is tuned with genuine, old-fashioned, functional radial knobs. Both heating and cooling are available, and the front seating is an excellent blend of alert lateral support and well-tailored comfort. hand-stitched leather covers all the surfaces not already covered in blonde wood. Two indispensable cupholders are provided for each of the mkt's three rows, and the second row seats are provided with a separate climate-control system. an available.
