Enjoying our 2014 MKT EcoBoost
We replaced our aging MB R320 with the MKT. We checked competing vehicles but the Lincoln was the best value. The ride is good except on harsh roads, due to the optional 20" wheels. We are having no problems with Lincoln Sync and find it easy to use. The car is extremely quiet even compared to the MB. Handling is sharp, unlike the numb MB. The dual turbo do their job nicely. Gas mileage is as advertised so far. More foot room should be provided for the driver, the only real flaw so far. The safety features like blind spot warning and adaptive cruise control work great. Lane drift warning is annoying and I shut it off. I would not hesitate to recommend this car.
Great Car
Never own a car that I enjoyed more. I have owned Cadillac's for over the last 30 years. I use to trade every two years. I have complaints of Cadillac's , but this Lincoln rides the best of any car I have every owned.

Like a Custom made Supercar
As a Senior citizen car lover who has had nearly 100 cars thru the years I would place this near the top of the pile. Always looked for a sporty high powered car and love my 19 MKT Reserve with the full options package. Bought it used in March and haven't seen another one on the road so it's like having a Custom made car. Once had a 1967 Chevy Biscayne with a 427 4 Speed , we called them sleepers back then and this tops it with a 6 cylinder Twin turbo, and with every safety and comfort option you can name. With the 427 I couldn't even get A/C !! It is not only AWD and super fast but it has the option to switch from normal to comfort to sport modes that changes handling, engine and transmission settings with a switch ! It won't win any mileage derby but it goes from grandpa's three row grocery better to a track car in a minute. If you love toys, this is the car !!

An unappreciated value
While the platform is aging, the MKT is a unsung value in the luxury crossover space. Some car reviewers dislike the exterior styling, but I love it. Unlike most SUV/CUV designs today, the MKT is long, sleek with a bit lower height profile than most. Makes it more like a big station wagon than a truck like SUV. After four years, the MKT has been exceptionally reliable and the Lincoln dealer is awesome - great support, service and design. Power and interior pace is plentiful and has some really great features (e.g. rear bucket seat with heating and cooling, rear fridge, automated parking assist, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist and more). Oddly, however, it lacks front parking sensors(?!). Other cons are that as with the older platform, the ride quality is not best-in-class.

Quirky, Feature Rich, Powerful Family Hauler
THIIISSSS is a 2016 Lincoln MKT. I've had this vehicle for about 6 months now and feel I can offer a fairly comprehensive review. My model is a 7 passenger EcoBoost with the Elite and Technology packages and 20 inch wheels. First, those wheels - they look great but give you less rubber between you and the road, somewhat defeating the purpose of the 3 suspension modes. It isn't a rough riding vehicle by any means, but the 19 wheels (which are kind of ugly) likely give a better ride. The MKT is very comfortable, the seats are well padded and covered in very nice leather. The power adjustable seats, pedals, and steering wheel guarantee virtually everyone will sit comfortably. I updated the Sync 3 system to the newest version to allow Apple CarPlay functionality which is a must, in my opinion. The Sync system is ok, but feels somewhat outdated. The controls - there are no physical buttons for the heated/cooled seats or heated steering wheel. This isn't a huge deal, but is a minor irritation to always have to cycle through 3 or 4 screens to get to seat/wheel controls. The tri-zone climate control (with rear seat controls) is a nice feature for the family. One minor complaint about the heated steering wheel is that it doesn't heat the top wood grain covered portion. Not a big deal, but heated all over would be better. The adaptive cruise control system works well, however it doesn't work below 12 mph, so keep that in mind. The power up/down third row is phenomenal and gives access to solid cargo room with the seats down. The second row of seating offers very generous leg and head room. Third row access is fairly easy with the one touch button that tumbles the second row seats forward. However, once in the third row you'll find that due to the sloping roof line you won't be able to sit with your hid upright unless you're under about 5' 3", a massive point against the MKT. One of the biggest plusses in favor of the MKT is the power. the twin turbo V6 provides more power than virtually any other vehicle in its class and easily moves the hefty MKT quickly whenever called upon. Handling is good for a vehicle of its size, however maneuverability in tight spots is fairly poor due to the length of this vehicle. Speaking of, if you have a smaller garage, the MKT may not fit. I'm not kidding, it fits in my garage (barely), but doesn't fit in the garages of several friends and family, so take some measurements first. Overall, the 2016 MKT is a great vehicle for the family, although the third row is not as practical as one would hope. You get good technology, comfort, quietness, and power in a polarizing, but in my opinion, beautiful package. And, for better or worse, it doesn't look like every other three row SUV. If you want to stand out a little, have understated power, a comfortable, quiet ride with decent modern tech the MKT is a great option.

2nd MKT and still love it
I compared this to other similar brands and kept telling myself that my MKT had this or that but this brand doesn't but I can live without it. (Space, refrigerator, adaptive cruise, ride, fuel economy, etc. etc.) Eventually I decided I can have everything I want at a good price, so I bought the MKT again........

It took a month but we found the perfect car for i
We needed a vehicle that had more cargo area and more comfortable seats than our Cadillac XT5. A Lincoln MKT was the first car we looked at but didn’t like the color. We tried several midsized suvs but none were “the one”. Then we noticed a white MKT and that was IT.
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.

Mkt
Just rented one loved it. Great great ride,great power,comtable seats,plenty of room inside, handled great,fan and radio volume weak.
Surprisingly Good - A Functional Fashion Statement
Was initially looking at Land Rover RR Sport. But while that was a better car (amazing handling and style) the MKT was an elegant and less expensive alternative. Packed with technology (adaptive cruise, cooled seats front/rear) and I really like the style - it's elegant and stands out (not sure why critics don't like styling). Some elements reveal that the platform is based on a family car (e.g. old fashioned foot operated parking brake, no front parking sensors even on top level model). Great power with 365 hp V6 and interior style with two rows of bucket seat is great.
Bob the Builder
I had a 2015 Black Town Car MKT, loved the car but not the color. 2019 is the last year for this model so I found a white 2019 MKT, LOVE the ride and every thing about. Kept the 2015 MKT and letting my grand daughter use it.

Love this car
This is a great car for American roads. My MKT has every option available. I bought it six months ago with 23,000 miles and have put 10,000 miles on it since (two cross-country trips). My two previous cars were a Jaguar XJR and Genesis G80. The MKT handles nearly as well as the Jaguar (at speed through mountain passes) with nearly the same power, except I have my fat tire bike and golf clubs in the back and my drift boat trailing behind. It's as quiet as the Genesis and has an even better sound system. Driving ten-hour days across the country was a very comfortable pleasure. It's the best long distance car I've ever owned. It tracks beautifully down the road. It will torque-steer to the right under hard acceleration, but it is predictable and easy to correct. No reliability problems at all. If you like the looks (I do), you'll love this car.

Many lookers
People come up to us and say how much they like the quality look of our car. People think it must be very expensive since they never see one. In 45,000 miles it has been to the shop once to fix the sunroof which was under warranty. One new battery and a set of tires. We have the Turbo and it is very quick. Great car!!

Great Road Vehicle, pleasurable to drive
Very comfortable car with adequate space in cargo area. The Ecoboost V6 is just outstanding, tremendous passing power. 22.5 mpg on road at a steady 75-80 mpg. Third Row seats are a joke as they are in other vehicles with similar setup. Residual value is poor but I always get top $$ when I sell a car as they always have low mileage and look 'new'
Love it!
I love this car. Everything I have ever looked for and more.

Three MKTs so far - all clear and that's for 9 yea
Clearly the best car I’ve ever owned. Too bad they are no longer made so a good used one is worth getting. I’ve had 5 Navigators as well. A BMW X5, a Mercedes, etc and the MKT is by far the best of the bunch. I'm still driving it at 103K miles and not a single, significant issue.

Sleek Luxury Cruiser
best ride ever, loaded with tons of amenities, and the fact I hardly ever see others on the road is a plus. Our last car was a Cadillac SRX which we really liked, but this MKT is much more comfortable. I have people photograph it and ask what kind of car it is. It's nice to not see a bunch of them on the same road when we travel. The twin turbo eco-boost engine is a blast to drive too, put the transmission in sport mode and use the paddle shifters for a little fun every once in a while. Too many options to list here, but if you want it, the MKT Reserve probably has it.

Very reliable and dependable car.
This has been a great car. I have 109,000 miles on it. The adaptive cruise control is terrific. Very reliable and accurate. Only drawback is that it cuts out at 15 mph. Automatic high beams are a very big plus. Remote start works very well. That's how I discovered it has a heated steering wheel. Very nice touch. Don't need gloves. I love the style and storage area. With back seats down there's plenty of room to carry things. Back seats are heated and AC as well. One other drawback is that the side mirrors don't fold in automatically when ignition is turned off. I did have minor issues with alloy wheels. One leaked and occasionally it'll develop a beed leak. Zero mechanical problems at 109,000 miles. Everything still works normally. I had a 2010 MKT and the twins turbochargers went at 129,000. That's when I bought the 2014. I am sad that Lincoln stopped making them,

Lincoln MKT Reserve 2018
I specifically bought my 2018 because it had everything. I looked for a year for the right model and color combo, and hands down it’s been the best car I’ve ever owned. Reliable, easy maintenance, fun to drive because of the engine and turbos (and it handles surprisingly well), and I was rear ended twice in it with zero injuries. 10/10 will buy another one. Will hold a driver, four teens, and four 70lb dogs all at the same time if needed.

It could have been a super star..but Lincoln..
I am the owner of a 2019 Lincoln MKT Reserve AWD 3.5L Ecooboost twin turbo v6 engine with almost every available option except for the rear captain chairs and refrigerator. I love the sound of the horn, loud and beautiful! I love the rear design and the sides but that buzzard beak front end is absolutely horrible!, the seats are cheap, hard, and the seat foam used in the seats is cheap and extremely uncomfortable! The seats in my wife’s 2006 GMC Yukon Denali XL are 200% better quality and a lot more comfortable! The 10.5 mpg fuel mileage I’m getting in city driving is absolutely terrible!! And it’s been checked out and tuned up at the Lincoln dealership and only 15 mpg on the highway! I should have gotten a supercharged V8! On the highway the vehicle has more body roll than a belly dancer, the Six speed automatic transmission and transfer case is too weak for this vehicle, the 3.5L ecooboost twin turbo engine is a nightmare to your wallet when the water pump, timing chain assembly, and or the cam phaser’s take a dump! Ford should be Sued for the cost to replace and or repair anything that goes wrong inside this engine up to 250,000 miles! They intentionally, designed and made this engine extremely unreliable,difficult and expensive to repair so that owners would have to take the vehicle to the dealer for repairs and or to purchase another vehicle! That’s exactly why they stopped building the extremely reliable, durable, dependable, and well built, cheap to repair Lincoln Town Car. Almost every single vehicle built today is absolute garbage can on wheels, throw away vehicles notoriously not built to last for long.

Long and low Lincoln
This SUV looks and rides great. It has a lower suspension and wider low profile tires than most large SUVs. It has extra length (seats 7) for trips and has good acceleration (V6 with twin turbos) and good braking. My only minor complaint is about the interior quality which I think should be better.

Best luxury bargain
We had a Mkx (great car also) but needed more room. We have had great experience with Lincolns. The Mkt looks similar to the Mkx but it’s completely different car. The Mkt rides much better and the power is fantastic. Reliability is better than average and makes it a bargain if you can find one. Unfortunately it seems the Aviator which replaced the Mkt has reliability problems and is very expensive. If you want a great car and like the looks of the unique Mkt buy it. You won’t regret it.
