EXTERIOR
The MKT is one of those controversial cars that invites strangers to approach you in some random parking lot and say "That car is weird; what is it?" I concede that it's strange-looking and I attribute it to its big rear end. The back significantly hangs out over the rear wheels. It's also not tall like an SUV, but it's not as short as a wagon or sedan. This makes it easy for kids to get in and out of the MKT, but it ends up looking kind of like a hearse from the back.
