Lincoln MKT Review
2010 Lincoln MKT
Price Range: $44,200 - $49,200

Performance
In terms of horsepower, the Lincoln MKT packs quite a punch and will knock the typical wagon down a few rungs. However, remember that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With its tighter turning circle, the typical wagon is quite certainly more agile than the MKT, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; however, note that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The MKT has a larger engine than the typical wagon. Note that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but smaller engines can be stressed more. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the Lincoln MKT is considerably more powerful than the typical wagon. Torque equals pickup, and the Lincoln MKT will have picked up and gone by the time the typical wagon finally gets moving.

Utility
The Lincoln MKT will quite certainly prove friendlier than the typical wagon for those of you with frequent kid-cargo. Towing is substantially more the Lincoln MKT's forte than it is the typical wagon's.

Convenience
You'll definitely have to take the Lincoln MKT for a fill-up more often than the average wagon because of its tank size and gas mileage.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Lincoln MKT offers a bit more head room than the average wagon, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Lincoln MKT make it significantly more spacious for your passengers than the typical wagon.

Dimensions
The Lincoln MKT is considerably heavier than the typical wagon. The typical wagon's tank is almost the same size as the Lincoln MKT's, though the Lincoln MKT's is a tad bigger. The average wagon fits in smaller parking spaces than the Lincoln MKT. The typical wagon's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a nimbler feel in daily traffic than the Lincoln MKT.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs about the same to get the typical wagon to the dealership as the Lincoln MKT. The Lincoln MKT will tax your gasoline budget considerably more than the average wagon will. The MKT pales in comparison to the average wagon regarding fuel economy. The Lincoln MKT is tremendously costlier than the typical wagon in terms of MSRP. The typical wagon will save you a lots_of_money at the pump every year compared to the Lincoln MKT.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the average wagon isn't quite as generous as the MKT's.
