Lincoln MKX 2008-2015Change

This car is very comfortable and great handling. Suspension and steering is very tight and a pleasure to drive.
Gas mileage is approx. 12L per 100 km. That would be the one area where I think it could be improved upon.

This is my second Lincoln MKX. I would buy it again, and I would recommend it to friends and family.

Smooth ride. Never any mechanical issues. AWD makes it very dependable in deep snow. Children really love the dual DVD player in the back seat which can be played over the sound system or headphones.

I absolutely love everything about my Lincoln MKX. Definitely a worth while upgrade from the Ford Edge. The exterior is much more attractive than the Edge and the interior is no comparison! The MKX has a beautiful dash and super comfortable leather seats. I have read reviews complaining about the SYNC system, but honestly I had no issues with it at all. I did experience a lag time in the navigation system once, but a quick trip to the shop for a free upgrade to the system fixed it up. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone looking for a 5 seat crossover. Great for older couples (my in-laws love theirs), and also great for families! We fit our two large carseats in the back very easily, with lots of room in the hatch to accommodate our large strollers or a stock up trip to Costco ;). I can not say enough good things about this car!

A wonderful experience , drives very well , always feel very secured in toughest of winter weather or slippery road conditions,never had any issues as always very stable .MY wife & kids feel the same way and are sad to let it go . Loaded with all what we could wish for with remote start to heated OR cooled seats , navigation system, blue tooth,exceptional sound system, CD player & radio plus a beautiful leather package and wood trims.

The Good:
Even though my MKX is only the base model of the lineup, it comes with plenty of features. From heated and cooled seats to bluetooth, this car is loaded for a base model (as it should be for a starting price that is pushing $50,000.) Gorgeous interior styling and leather seats need to be maintained very well to prevent excessive fading and deterioration over time (dash, seats, leather wheel, etc.) Excellent exterior styling, which still looks modern and luxurious 7 years later.

The Bad:
Poor reliability and expensive maintenance. Shortly after purchasing the vehicle (used in 2013), I had to have the gas tank ripped out and replaced due to a leak. I received a recall notice for leaking tanks on this particular model a full year later. Rust began to show through the paint above the rear driver-side wheel well in 2014 and was repaired (costly; $1,300), only to come back after that same winter, along with rust beginning to appear on the passenger side. Paint began peeling off the front bumper around small stone chips, causing an unsightly mess that I paid to have repainted. I had to drop $5,000 in repairs this week alone after my transmission failed prematurely (158k), needing a full rebuild and a break booster and break switch had to be replaced, all at once.
I am looking to replace this car before I have to throw more money at it to keep it running; however, I am facing poor resale value. The idea was to spend some extra money to buy a solid, reliable used car that would last me through my university career, which it did not; this vehicle chose to be a poor decision. I doubt I'll be buying another Ford product again, despite how much I loved this car.

Very happy with this vehicle, no problems what so ever.Lots of remarks how sleek and stylish it is ! Handles so well with lots of power .

Bought this vehicle for my wife. She loves it! Great in all weather conditions. Perfect for 4 adults. Lots of trunk space. Comfort on long trips.

I loved this MKX so much I bought a new one just like it this one was dripless oiled yearly and only driven on highways !!!!!!

I had my 2008 Lincoln MKX Ltd Edition for 5 yrs and never had a problem with it. This was actually a fantastic car in every aspect, the handling and AWD were perfect for city driving and ski vacations. The air cooled/ heated seats were a nice touch. The automatic rear lift gate was invaluable, and the sync technology a must! I planned on keeping the car indefinitely and in Mint condition. Unfortunately a tree collapsed on my car while I was in it - luckily however the frame held up and protected me from what could have been a fatal accident. Sadly, my MKX is a write-off because of the unusual circumstances of this accident. I am now looking for another MKX because no other brand offers all of the features that this one does to perfectly fit my lifestyle. I am even a little sentimental as the car gave it's life for me ;)

The Bad:
This car can not remember my seat setting and the process to record the seeting is very complex - have to use the key fab. Nonetheless, after my wife drives the car once the seating only work half of the time. They have no answer for that.

The really Bad:
The sound system is really bad and two less speakers than the Edge. They replaced my sub-woofer and it still sounds terrible. If you like to drive with music on - you will hate this vehicle.
The Sync system is very fakely - the Nav is so terrible, I don't have words to describe it. The Nav via voice commands wants the full address and usually picks something 2000 miles away. Only way to make it work is to tell it to change city and then you can give one command at a time.
Sync often freezes and reboots and is very slow.

the so-so
For 305 horsepower it doesn't really have a lot of pick up but not terrible and the moon roof takes forever and makes you hold on to the button.

Rest of the car is good

This vehicle not only looks good, it drives and handles beautifully. I do lots of highway driving, so already have over 150K and have had absolutely no trouble. It has a very comfortable ride with all the toys -- great sound system, Sync, heated and cooled seats and on and on. Lincoln really knows how to do it right. When the time comes, wouldn't hesitate to purchase another.

It would be a much better car without Sync. I've had the car back to the dealer at least a dozen times for repairs. It cannnot be fixed. Ford/Lincoln customer relations has treated me terribly regarding this issue. Please consider another brand of car before choosing this one.

Excellent handling. Got 38mpg on trip to Montreal from Winnipeg. Excellent service from Parkside Ford.

I have a black Lincoln MKX. I really enjoy being in this car because of the amazing comfort, with leather seats, seat warmers in both the front and back, and the voice controled GPS system. The only problem is the fuel ecomony, which is slightly more than other SUV's. I would recommend this car.

It's been just 2 months but so far so good for my first venture into the domestic luxury vehicle market. Though the MyTouch needs improvement relative to navigation, I'm learning how to work it satisfactorily.Comfort level is the tops. Fuel economy is good considering the engine size & HP. Feels good in the snow with AWD The car does turn heads and time will tell how the overall vehicle is. Considering that when I went into the dealership, Lincoln was nowhere on my radar Ford should try to psychoanalyze me to find out how they can exploit my experience and sell more of these!!

I love this car for the comfort, features and handling. Some issues have crept up after 20,000 Km's. the pano roof creaks and I have to open and close it to spot the creaking while car is in drive. It shouldn't happen period and its quite annoying for a luxury car.

The my Lincoln touch system is buggy. However Ford is putting this system in all their cars so they feel committed to making it better. There has been several upgrades to the software but I've been reluctant as the upgrades take away the beauty of the interface to a boring simplified version to appease the technophobes.

For the price point and features and if Lincoln can fix the sunroof creaking its a great car. But I haven't heard anyone else having this problem. Which is optimistic.

I have had my MKX for a year now and absolutely love this vehicle. I purchased it off the original owners when it was a year old. The comfort and handling are amazing. Very reliable. No issues at all.
This vehicle has absolutely everything you could imagine built into it.

It was a thrill to drive this CUV. Love the features in the fully loaded car. Favourite feature is the ambient lighting. Handles well and effortless. Power everything.

Bought the Lincoln MKX and an Acura MDX at the same time, was really surprised that I really enjoyed the MKX more. Loved the ride and the options, and most of all enjoyed the ford service.

The card provides pretty good value for the dollar, however the MySync is VERY disappointing. Microsoft suceeds in ruining the reputation of Ford. This is the first and last Lincoln I will drive, can't wait for my lease to end so that I can return it to Ford. Lincoln head office customer care really doesn't get it.

Love the luxurious drive, style, interior and comfort and all the extra features of this luxury vehicle...so much so that traded in my 2008 for 2011.

My Lincoln MKX is the first North American vehicle I have owned over the last 20 years. The ride, interior finishing and space are exceptional. I have had no service issues over the 21/2 years that I have owned the vehicle, which is a nice change, as my 2006 VW Touareg was always in the shop.
