I love this car.
The car handles and rides like a luxury car should. The 3.5 L EcoBoost engine is very responsive and powerful. The cargo space with the 3rd seat folded down is voluminous. The MKT suits our needs perfectly.

GREAT VEHICLE FOR A GROWING FAMILY!
This is a wonderful vehicle because it can seat 7-8 people comfortably. We have 9 grandchildren and can get 7 and my wife and I in the SUV. It has a wonderful ride and with the panoramic roof and DVD system the grands absolutely love it. So much room for a sedan-like vehicle.

Best Full-Sized Crossover on the Market
I've loved the MKT since the day I bought it with 6400 miles, a dealer loaner. The styling is striking and draws people's attention to this day. It is white platinum over charcoal and shines with a slight metallic edge even when it hasn't been washed. One of its most attractive themes is the paint job. Very comfortable and easy
to drive, more like a large sedan than an SUV, which it most certainly is not. Love the luxury appointments. I have almost 78000 miles on it now, and have never had the spark plugs or shocks/struts replaced. Great ride on open ride with the 20" wheels. Lots of value for the money, even though at the time I bought it was the most I'd ever spent on a car. Could use a few more horses under the hood (which they now have) but other than that I can't say enough good things about it.
