TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2013 Acura MDX is one of the most satisfying and enjoyable vehicles to drive, if you must have three rows of seats.

The shape of the 2013 Lincoln MKT might be polarizing, but there's undeniable charm in its luxurious cabin, its feature set and, surprisingly, its (EcoBoost) driving experience.

TCC Likes

Nimble for a three-row vehicle
Strong acceleration
Excellent AWD system

Classy, daringly different shape
Throne-like seats
Torquey EcoBoost versions

TCC Dislikes

Cluttered instrument panel
Unharmonious grille design
Needs premium gas

Rear styling still not in synch
Capacitive controls (with MyFord Touch)
Somewhat tight third row
