The backseat of the MKS is surprisingly roomy; its trunk is, too, with 12.4 cubic feet of storage space. Despite its full size, the MKS manages to be quite nimble on its feet, making it as practical for city driving as it is for highway driving.Front-wheel drive models of the Lincoln MKS have fuel economy ratings of 17 mpg in the city, 24 mpg on the highway and 19 mpg combined. EcoBoost models have a rating of 17/25/20, making them all the more attractive to those who'd like to conserve as much fuel as possible. The 3.7-liter V6 produces 273 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque; the EcoBoost V6 gets a whopping 355 hp and 350 lb-ft. The MKS is manufactured at Ford Chicago Assembly in Chicago, Illinois.

Standard features include: auto-dimming rear-view mirrors; power rear sunshades; leather upholstery; and heated and cooled power front seats. Popular options for the MKS include 19 or 20" wheels and an automatic parking system, which is only available for the EcoBoost trim. The Navigation Package and the Ultimate Package are also popular with those who buy this vehicle. The Lincoln MKS has received its fair share of attention since it debuted in 2008. In 2009, it was listed as a Consumers Digest Best Buy and was a top contender for Motor Trend Car of the Year. In 2010, the MKS earned a spot on CNET's list of the Top 5 Tech Cars.
