2012 Lincoln MKT 4dr Wagon AWD w/EcoBoost (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 6A)

Needed seven passenger seating and did not want a minivan. Pros fast, handled better than a truck based SUVs that we test drove Q7,gx460, q56. J35 handled better but seemed underpowered. Good tradeoff between ride and handling. A little tin can feel but not nearly as tin sounding as the edge. Bad gas Mileage ECO boost in name only. Few mechanical issues with power seats. Third row head clearnce under 5 feet, leg room plenty. Good utility except for third row leg room.

Great Highway Cruiser

I was originally going to buy the MKS, but when I drove an MKT I fell in love with the interior plus the versatility of the crossover design. Highway driving is actually fun...the adaptive cruise is incredible, sound system and sync are state of the art. The seats are incredibly comfortable and despite the somewhat limited view sideways and back, the extra large mirrors and blindspot warning system make up for those defeciencies. Personally I love the exterior design, but understand it is 'love it or hate it' for most people. I do love having a unique luxury vehicle...not just another Lexus RX!

MKT a Winner

We wanted a AWD, 7 passenger luxury crossover with low front seats with good handling and power for winter driving. We considered a MDX, GX450, MBR, BMWX5, Enclave, and Q7. After test driving a MKT we were blown away. The EcoBoost is very fast with little twin turbo lag and the handling great for a vehicle this large.( we also have a 2004 Porsche 911 Cab ). We ordered out a loaded 7 passenger so we would have a full second seat to hold our 106 pound boxer dog and lots of grand kids. The car interior heats up very fast and the heated front and back seat are super. The MKT is a lot of luxury for the $ and can compete head on with the Germans and Japanese with it head held high at less $.

Left alone with known issues acting up

Comfortable , roomy, quiet and powerful enough when needed with the Ecoboost. I left a Ford Flex for it, so the styling is not an issue for me. Actually, I like both. Save for what follows, I like the car. What concerns and disapoints me are known issues shared by many owners on internet forums that leads me to conclude that they are flawed design. 1- the light cluster that covers the width of the tailgate is known to take water and mess with the electrical of your lights and back-up camera. You have to change the whole cluster. 2100$CDN ! It does not include the camera (500$) 2-the climate control will on its own act up and go to high. You have to change the whole electronic panel behind the controls (600$). These prices do not include labour. Lincoln does not recognizes any of these problems past the warranty and offers no good-will program or help. I have experienced all three problems between 80 to 85,000 miles in the last few months. For the record, I was able to source only one used light cluster. Once there....it had taken water also ! Bottom line: for a so-called luxury brand, Lincoln is not offering much support to its customers on well documented repeated MKT failures. Fortunately, I have not experienced so far another known flaw that I noticed when researching mine : « explosion » of the moonroof. I was looking at the Aviator for next year before all that. Not anymore. They lost me.

I'd Buy Another One!

My Lincoln MKT w/ecoboost is one of the best running and most comfortable cars I have owned. I would purchase another if the model had not been discontinued. It is comfortable, quiet, drives well, and looks good! And it is roomy for when the grandkids travel with us. Negatives are cheap plastic on door interiors, and dash, and a recurrent problem with the heater failing which Ford at first did not want to fix as it was only happening occasionally! I get 19 mpg around town, and 24 on the highway with a decent powerful V-6 that runs fine on regular unleaded fuel.
