Massaging seats & auto hold.
I love everything about my vehicle!! The best feature has to be the massaging seats!! The front driver and passenger seats have massaging capabilities and it has changed how I view my commute. I rave about this feature whenever I get a chance! Another favorite feature of my vehicle is the auto hold, where the vehicle auto brakes for you. I thought this was unnecessary, but after using it for a while, I do not think I could live without it!

Luxury vehicle with comfort and reliability.
A beautiful luxury vehicle. Rides and drives like a dream. Would highly recommend this car to anyone seeking a luxury car. Has plenty of legroom and the storage space is wonderful. A plus are the heated/cooled seats. Wonderful any time of year. Also love the way the car looks on the road.

The 2018 Lincoln MKX is a great choice!
I just bought the car a few months back. So far I love it. It has a very smooth and luxurious ride and has all of the bells and whistles that I need for everyday driving. There are many extras like sensors, navigation, pano sunroof, and heated and air conditioned seats

My 2018 Lincoln MKX reserve.
My car has electric-lift truck, blind spot sensors, a rear backup camera, electric sunroof, apple carplay, heated and cooled front seats and ample legroom! I purchased my car as a certified pre-owned vehicle which came with a warranty package. The manufacturer services my vehicle for free every 6 months or when issues occur.

Luxury and performance is the best.
The Lincoln MKX is luxury in driving, performance and the up to date in all features. I thoroughly enjoy the navigation, voice assisted technology and the comfort the Lincoln offers. It's been reliable and we have only had to have to basic oil changes and no major mechanical problems. We love taking it on long trips due to the comfort and reliability.

Wonderful vehicle to drive. Smooth driving and has all the features I need.
Drives really smooth. Good leg and body space in the front, so you are not really feeling cramped. The controls are set very well so that it is easy to use. I love the rain sensing wipers, rear view camera and the sensors. There is enough storage space for a purse and other small items. The one thing I wish it did not have was a hole in the armrest. I always keep dropping things through them. Another negative for me is where the start button is located.

Great ride all around! Hurry up and buy!
I think it's an awesome vehicle to drive for so many reasons. I think it's beautiful to look at like eye candy instead of an eyesore. It's also sleek and efficient to travel comfortably. There's so many things I could say about this particular vehicle that made me fall in love with it. I just advise purchasing this vehicle to see for yourself.

My Lincoln feels luxurious. It is a joy to take this car on a road trip.
I picked my car for comfort. I am short and not all seats fit my size, the neck piece hitting me in the wrong place. I also had to have dual temperature controls because I turn my heat all the way up and my husband turns his all the way down. Performance has been great. We've had no problems so it's definitely reliable.

Do the right thing and fix this
My daughter bought a 2015 has nothing but trouble. Air cond not working, remote starter not working, rust on drivers door. Rides like a lumber wagon with all kinds of weird noises. Dealership does nothing for her at Lallys Ford in Chatham Ont. After my family has bought 3 brand new cars from this dealership in the past year. She will be back to get these problems fixed and it better not cost anything or I will start a boycott of this dealership. Where did they get this vehicle ? From a hurricane salvage yard?????

Our vehicle is amazing everything from the navigation system to the memory seats.
The only problem we have had is with the display on the vehicle. We had it freeze up on us one time. Other than that, we have not had any serious problems on the vehicle. This has been a very reliable vehicle and we absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone.
