Reading the spec sheet
Power: the 3.5L 6-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Combined fuel use is 12.0 L/100 km: about 36 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $186 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Best uses
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
A longer test drive
A week with the MKT answers more than any brochure. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A test week in the MKT tells you more than any review.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
