That it is the best car I have ever owned.

I love how it rides. It handles great. It has all the bells and whistles. The only thing I don't like is that you can't turn the interior light off with the doors open. We go to the drive in movies a great deal.

Great comfort and features.

The 2007 Lincoln mkx features a sunroof with a sunshade. It has heated and cooled seats. I was skeptical about the cooled seats but they are great for really hot days and long road trips. It drives very smoothly on bumpy Michigan roads. It has Bluetooth for hands free phone calls.

Ida A

Very reliable vehicle with good gas mileage. Plenty of room for a family of four or more.

It is a very smooth ride. Good gas mileage. Plenty of space

I think that they should know about the OD sensors. Never had a car have this issue. Around a 1000.00 fix

Lincoln mkx is a very affordable luxury car. My car is almost 11 years old now still rides and drives like a new one. It is very comfortable. Gas mileage could be better, was a little disappointing. Only problems was OD sensors had to be replaced. Not bad for a car with 164,000 miles.

Heated seats in front and rear. Car shuts off at stop lights to save on gas.

Car turns off at stop lights to save on gas. Does not have lights in the mirrors, which I find to be a problem - you need to turn the car lights on to see when dark. You are also able to turn in your side mirrors when parked. Has heated seats in front and rear of vehicle.

2008 Lincoln SUV. Comfortable and good gas mileage.

Problems have been two recalls that had the vehicle a total of 8 months. The car runs great and is very comfortable. Gas mileage is also very good. There is quite a bit of storage in the rear. Second row seating is spacious and very comfortable for two.

Tiffany C

Such a smooth ride. Good gas mileage. Fits quite a bit since the seats go flat.

My Lincoln has such a smooth ride. The features on it even at being a 2008 are amazing. In comparison to the Ford edge which is similar it does not even compare. The ride is so smooth and we are going on 150, 000 miles and have 9bly had to do maintenance work to the vehicle.

It has pretty good gas mileage and i havent had any big issues.

It is a great size. It is a tight spot in the driver's seat for bigger people.

Pros from Owners

Beverly J.

I like how it has four wheel drive and it's easy to maneuver and I get to my destination pretty quick with it, It's also a car I am comfortable with and used to. I have Sirius XM so that's a plus and all the car parts are up to date.

Cons from Owners

Beverly J.

I wish the back seats had cooling, right now they came with heating and the front seats have heating and cooling. So I wish they fixed that. I also wished it had better trunk space and I also would like a slightly newer model.
