TCC’s Bottom Line

The Buick Enclave remains one of the most distinctive and comfortable large crossovers, and a substantially upgraded interior keeps it contemporary for 2013.

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

Elegant styling
Much-improved interior
Adult-sized second-row seats

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

TCC Dislikes

Drives heavy and big
Gas mileage isn't great
Very expensive for a domestic brand

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