2008 Lincoln Mark LT Review
In spite of the luxury providing and a lot of upgrading, the price for the 2008 Lincoln Mark LT is too high for the car – it varies from $38,340 – $41,740.
Among the doubtless advantages there should be mentioned smooth and quiet ride, real truck usability, and plush interior accommodations.
The contra arguments are: the basing is the F-150, plastic trim is too hard inside, and there are some missing key safety features.
Each normal person tends to something better in all spheres of life, be it a partner, a house, a car. To have a luxury car which is also a nice pickup truck — why not? Why not this be 2008 Lincoln Mark LT? The car is based on the Ford-150 pickup. Despite this full-size base, there are some vivid differences: additional chrome trim, flashy wheels, and a bigger waterfall grille. The impression of richness and luxury is achieved with the help of the wool accents and leather seats.
Unfortunately for the potential customers the Lincoln version has a very equal interior design as the Ford F-150, and you hardly find something really in need which the Fords lacks. So, the preconclusion is that: why should I pay more for the same thing?
Lucky Lincoln is, in this specific sphere the version has only one direct competitor — the Cadillac Escalade EXT. And, this is interesting to admit, the Cadillac is better because of its superior performance, greater functionality, more refined cabin.
Body style. The 2008 Lincoln is suggested in a crew cab body style in which you can choose two bed lengths, either a 5.5-footer or a 6.5-footer. These two versions are available with 2- or 4-wheel drive. All the Lincolns Mark LT comes with such features as 18-inch alloy wheels, leather seating, a lot chrome trim, power and heated front seats, and some others. For the entertainment there is a satellite radio, in-dash CD changer. The steering-wheel-mounted audio controls are available.
Performance. The car has an A 5.4-liter V8 engine, which gives 300 horsepower and365 pound-feet of torque. The car supplies the driver with four speeds of automatic transmission. However, the Ford’s V8 engine produces more noise than gives any progress. It takes only 9.6 sec for the Mark LT to reach 60 mph.
Safety is achieved with antilock disc brakes being standard.
The interior gives the impression of elegance, a lot of leather and chrome. The Lincoln is very convenient at driving; you do not feel the car as a heavy vehicle.
