We take the all-wheel-drive Lincoln to Subaru country.

Life on the farm

Arriving at my girlfriend’s parents’ farm, I couldn’t help but feel a bit like a city-slicker pulling up in my pricey Lincoln. Not only was it the only MKT in town, it was the only MKT I’d seen in all of Washington. Even the dirt on its flanks couldn’t hide that fact. First reactions from Farmer Norm were not favorable: “It’s a sissy car.” “You’d have to babysit it if you took it to the mountains.” Ouch. The idea of maintaining all of the 2010 MKT’s electrical components and sensors was another point of contention. However, after an afternoon drive up into the local snow-capped mountains, impressions gradually started to warm, due in part to the comfortable and spacious interior, and the fact that the all-wheel-drive system prevented us from getting stuck. When asked to show what the MKT could do with a long, flat stretch of road, I was relieved to find the results met with a muted grunt of approval. It seems the MKT had at least been accepted. No word on whether I’ll enjoy the same fate.
