Thanks to Ford … Lincoln MKT Review

I had the rare opportunity last week while leaving BlogHer to drive out of the city in a Lincoln MKT provided by the Ford Motor Company to drive for a week, and write a review. After driving it out of the city… alive (man those people are INSANE?!?!) the adventure began!

It is a sleek looking car, and let me tell you, anything is an upgrade from the 1995 Chevy Blazer I am currently driving around town. (Long story) I absolutely loved basically everything about this car. The technology is unbelievable.  Of course there were a ton of options I did not indulge in for fear I would break them, or break the car.

It was amazingly roomy. With two kids, and all there “accessories” in tow, it certainly made life easy. Most of the time we opted to have the third row of seats down for more trunk room, but on the last full day with the car we made a trip half way across the state with family for outlet shopping. 4 adults, two kids in carseats, a stroller, and a trunk full of bags, and we still had more room.

It also fit ALL the stuff I took back from BlogHer, my kids, and their stuff too… See picture below.

Besides the room, the GPS was a god sent for all the little mini trips we made, even in areas I was familiar with, but may not know the back roads so much. I swear every time we got into the car for more than 10 minutes, I would turn around, and the kids would be out cold.

How cute is that?

Now a couple of my comic experiences with the MKT. Every other Friday, my husband insists on getting his hair cut. I think it is something he is still holding onto from being in the Marines, as well as just having having his hair longer. Since I met him (in 1999) I have never seen him with hair longer than he has now. After his bi-weekly clip, we headed up the Boston Post Road a couple miles, and stopped at another store we needed to pick up some odds and ends from. While he was running into the store (and I stayed with the kids in the car) a young kid driving a brand new Infinity sports car stopped him at the door and asked him what we were driving. He told him it was a Lincoln MKT and the guy started asking him a ton of questions. Of course being the male he is, my husband knew everything about the car, and the kid in the Infinity drove off insisting he must have a new Lincoln now.

I guess I sold one for Ford, your welcome guys!  LOL

We also took a trip to the brand new Sonic Drive In they put in Connecticut. The first in the state! We enjoyed tater tots, and burgers while I FLIPPED out and picked every little crumb up along the way.
Seeing as I am talking about food, we also took our “pimp car” which it was dubbed for the week to one of the new Crumb Cupcakes locations.

Overall, we did a lot, and really enjoyed the car. My toddler has been asking since yesterday afternoon when we came back from dropping it off where the new car went.

Well kiddo, it was awesome to have, and spoil ourselves with for a week, but now it is back to reality!

Thank you again to the Ford Motor Company for the opportunity to borrow the car, check out, and review. It was a great experience for our family, and we loved every minute of the MKT!  If it was in the cards right now, I would be on my way to my local Ford/Lincoln dealership to pick up my very own!
