Design

  

    The 2010 MKS's overall interior design is enjoyable, featuring standard leather upholstery and an attractive dash layout. Lincoln's ventilated seats are a pleasant touch, as are the MKS's standard rear heated seats. The 2010 MKS offers plenty of space for comfort in the interior and cargo space; the trunk holds 18.4 cubic feet for storage while the rear passenger area is particularly impressive. The exterior is decorated with chrome accents and sleek lines that give the vehicle an attractive appearance which is sure to draw attention.

  The new 2010 Lincoln MKS has a sense of modern relevance that gives it a high-tech lead in its segment. With multiple options for customizing, the MKS can be tailored to any driver's preference for an enjoyable driving experience. 

  The cabin of the MKS is one of its selling points. It features some of the most advanced technologies in its class and soft-grain leather supplied by the same Scottish company that outfitted the classic Continental Mark II of the 1950's. But many reviewers say there are some hard plastics and cheap switches and buttons that seem out of place.

Seating

   The seats of the MKS elicit few complaints, but also little praise. They are equal to what you would expect of a luxury car, but not as supportive as the best seats in this class. The upholstery is covered in leather that some reviewers find softer than what many rivals use. The front seats are both heated and cooled -- not uncommon at this price point. The rear seats are also heated even on base model trims, which is fairly unique.

Interior Features

  The cabin of the MKS features several advanced technologies that win a lot of reviewer praise. Ford's SYNC system, which allows the driver to control Bluetooth-enabled phones and music players through the car's speakers with voice commands, is standard, and most reviewers say it works well. Many also find the MKS' navigation system intuitive. But most reviewers have the same complaint -- these electronics all function well, but they're encased in hard plastics that seem out of place in such an expensive car.

Cargo

  The trunk of the 2010 MKS is huge, but it isn't as useful as it should be. At 18 cubic feet, it's one of the largest trunks in the large car class. But the opening to access the trunk is fairly small. Storage inside the cabin doesn't impress many reviewers, either.
