I am in love with my car!
I love my Lincoln MKT Reserve! I have had zero issues so far. It is all I could ever ask for in a vehicle and more. It is great in all weather conditions, I did add all 4 studded tires for winter and it performed like a champ on our WV winter mountain ice and snow covered roads. It is a sports car when I need the speed, it is my grocery getter, my roomy family outings travel car, my fur babies joy rider, and my get me to work and back safe car. I am getting long in the tooth and require the added luxuries this car offers. Love the heated/air conditioned seats that adjust to fit me like a glove or my hubby or son with the 3 presets. I love the bright headlights that turn with you to help see around a bend. I love the 14 speaker sound system with CD player for the old schoolers like me. Never any trouble with Sync. My passengers have plenty of leg room and heated seats with moon roof views and their own temp.controls. I rarely use the third row, but nice to have as an option. The tailgate option is nice to have also. I have used all rear seats folded to haul many large items. You could sleep back there if need be. Plenty of room, plenty of speed, just enough luxury, and paddle shifters to boot. This car fits me and my lifestyle to a T, MKT that is...

It has a minimalistic taste with an accent of luxury.
It has class and it is sleek. It has this luxury look in it and makes you feel like you are being treated with royalty every time you step inside. Get a Lincoln because it has this power to make you look and feel good. The look is perfect for a minimalist like me.

Great car with advanced and helpful features.
It is very reliable and has apple carplay with is extremely helpful. The seats are very comfortable with heated and cooling options. The leather seats are easy to clean as well. The performance is great with also pre-collision alerts which are always helpful.

It drives well in all weather. I feel very safe in my Lincoln
I love my car, it drives beautifully! I also really like the look of the car. My only negative is my 3rd row seat sometimes gets stuck

Sharp, glossy, and classic look.
I love this car, it is comfortable and car pools are easy. Also, it is very safe and easy to drive. I have kids and they are messy, this car is very easy to clean and does not stain easily. Overall, I would buy this car for many more years to come and it is my favorite vehicle. I also prefer the silver one because it does not show scratch marks easily.

Comfortable, safe, and customizable.
The car adjustment presets do not work - they are unable to be overridden. When pressed the driver's seat either moves as close to the steering wheel as it can or goes down as far as it can. This could be an issue because I have not found a way to stop it once I press the button. The car sensors when driving are very sensitive and often inaccurate - it will beep when I am going up my driveway just because it senses the concrete.

Good price perfect speed comfortable.
It has fast acceleration and very comfortable with built in high quality speakers, with nice wheels nice doors, windows and a fancy trunk that has an extra wheel under the trunk and has bright headlights. With that being said there are flaws like the fragile exterior.

Comfortable but falling apart.
First I should say I Love my Lincoln MKT, only thing I was not impressed by was the third row seating is for 5 years olds only because no one can fit in it. Now I have had my Lincoln for 2 years now and I have numerous things that have to be repaired. The seams in the door arm rest have splint open. There is a random galloping sound occasionally in the rear speaker that cannot be stopped by any means, it does eventually stop on its own but you have a headache before it does. The foot rest pad on the floor board had to be glued down because replacing the rivet did not work 3 times. The moon roof has parts that are rattling. Now the air conditioner blows is stuck on feet. The software for the radio/gps/media system is no longer used so updates “my sync” is useless. I knew buying a Ford was a mistake....
