luxurious sport

This car is amazing. I've had five Lincolns over the years but this one beats them all. Full luxury options, good looks, plenty of power when you need it, and a wonderful ride........luxurious yet almost sporty in it's responsiveness. The car is quick to react but the ride is smooth rather than the more rough ride found in a sports car. Has all the bells and whistles and the Bluetooth is awesome for both phone and for streaming your music. The heated seats and steering wheel coupled with the AWD make winter driving a breeze while the panoramic roof, good looks, and room to pack outdoor gear make summer fun. A really great vehicle in all ways. NO complaints about this car; love it.

not very satisfied

This is my second MKX, the 2008 was great, but this one has a lot to be desired. The ride is very rough, wipers run for no reason, has a pull on the road to the right, has to be steered instead of just driven. It has done it since driving it from the showroom. They tell me it is the wind or crown of the road. I have driven Lincoln Towncars and now the MKX but will probably my last. Not a pleasure to drive!!!!

Premium class

This vehicle, in addition to being quite luxurious and smart looking, is exceptionally well-appointed. It has more "bells and whistles" than I could possibly master in six months! It rides well, has minimal road noise and is a joy to drive.

Love this Car

I have had this car for 3 months. After reviewing all of the luxury cross-overs, I ended leasing this car and up to now, its the best decision yet. The interior is very classy and the new winged hood makes the car very unique. Performance has been superb so far and the ride is very smooth. And of course, I can't forget to mention the MyLincolnTouch with all its incredible functions (go through the dvd first). I just love driving the MKX. The only small letdown is the MPG, which is below sticker around 15.5 (Sticker is 17 MPG for AWD)

The best car of it's class

i love this car. The interior design is as ergonomic as it's get. The electronics are superb, but they take time to get use to. The instructions to use Sync are simple. I suggest you read the instructions before using it. The designers use their talent to bring style and comfort together.

Worst car I ever owned

The car looks good, has a lot of technology in it. The problem is Ford can't fix the Sync system. They don't have the proper software. The vehicle was loaded, had problems with the Sync/tech features from the day I bought it. I had it in for service 9 times, the dealer told me they have a lot of problems with this system and there is no fix yet. Lincoln customer service was a joke. I took the hit and traded it in after 8 months for a Jeep Cherokee Overland. I have had it for a month and it works and drives great. Test dive one befor you commit to the MKX.

great value, tech, and style

Great driving car. Very comfortable. Sync system works well and never fails to link with my phone. MKX has all the toys for 20% less than my last Mercedes SUV.

Has lots of potention

My wife loves her car. We bought it new black on black with the wood trim. It is hard to get out of and the Mysync is beyond worthless. You not only need a co-pilot to run the thing, but it's a nightmare to use, slow and clumsy. The car is very comfortable and a joy to drive. The looks are killer and the vista room is very nice. The gas mileage could be better.

Ford made a mistake

The program this car runs on has problems . The dealers don't know how to repair it. Purchase this car for $51,700. after 2 months traded it in for $37,000. never took a hit like this before . Stay away from this untill they fix the problems .

One of best cars I've driven

This vehicle is equipped with all of the newest gadgets the manufactors are making at the present time. Very good handling car with excellent response to acceleration and stopping. It is a head turner due to new design and very appealling and have gotten many good comments. One of the best driving vehicles that I have ever driven and fun to drive on a curvy winding road. Has no roll. The only slight drawback is that it could have a slightly larger rear storage area but it is adequate in most cases. Outstanding mileage!
