The MKT is not on the list of Consumers Reports, which has a lot more data than Forbes, which doesn't tell me anything I don't already know.

I take some encouragement for the popularity of MKT with livery. If is was really bad, it'd make no sense commercially. Its based on the Ford Flex, which sells much more without a horrific reputation.

The biggest problem appears to the twin turbo engine.

The big drop in value it takes as a used car is what I'm counting on. As I mention above, I've been looking at the 2016 Audi Q7, but that's not going to fit a tandem as well, and it'll cost >$60K. I like the idea of getting a car in the same category for $25K less.
