Lincoln review of my model mkx.
Vehicle is wonderful. Features--sunroof, lift tailgate, fold down passenger seats in rear. Great sound system including CD player. Navigation included. Great gas mileage--get 20. 2 miles per gallon on highway and slightly less in city. Minimal maintenance process--oil change every 5, 000 miles.

I think that the car is a gas saver and smooth on the road.
Like the way I drive. I like the sound system. It is very roomy. I like the fold-down I like the fold down seats in the back. No dislikes.

Why I would purchase another Lincoln vehicle.
I love the Bluetooth capability and interactive phone. I wish it would specify which tire has low pressure when it alerts. Since it does have a large GPS screen, it would be nice if it had the backup camera too.

Lincoln vehicle thoughts..
I love the style and how easy it is to drive. There is an airbag recall so that is a negative. It is otherwise dependable and stylish. When it is time to buy another vehicle, I plan on buying another Lincoln MKX but in a darker color since mine is light and seems to show dirt easier.

Lincoln is still known for luxury!
This vehicle is gorgeous inside and out. Leather interior, heated and cooled seats, automatic lift gate, push button rear seat let down, technology such as Bluetooth, rear parking detection, CD. This vehicle takes very good care of me!! I have replaced a bearing in driver side rear tire, that is it.

Lincoln best features and cons of having leather seats
I love my cars smooth ride, the speaker system, durability and the safety features. I dislike all the metal trim that causes glares. The leather seats are nice but not super durable. The tend to wear easily after a few years. The interior feels luxurious. The heated and cool seats are awesome!

2009 Lincoln MKX problems over time.
I have issues sometimes with the automatic tailgate reopening after I close it. The other issues I have are with the mileage. I can fill up my tank on monday and by thursday I have to fill it up again. With my same routine never changing. Also I sometimes fill the jerk of the car getting in gear when I am turning a corner or trying to accelerate.

It is very comfortable and easy to drive - the ride is really smooth.
It is the perfect size, easy to drive and very comfortable. I have been looking at newer models of the same. It has never given me any problem s and I will definitely look into another one.

IT'S A FANCY FORD. HAS NORMAL MILEAGE FOR IT'S AGE BUT IS FALLING APART DAILY.

It is a gas saver. And it is not too big.
I do not like the interior. I do not like that it is smaller than our last vehicle. I like that the gas tank is bigger.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Miranda F.

The pros of my vehicle are it's a decent size family car I have enough room to take whatever I would need for an outing with my child without leaving anything behind an I love that it is AWD. I feel I have better control of the vehicle because of the AWD feature.

likeFilled Sherer J.

High quality stereo. High quality 2/tone leather interior. High grade wheels with large tires. High grade engine parts. Extra brake and parking lights. Pearl top- coat. Heated back seat as well as front.

likeFilled Jowell W.

It looks nice and it is the best one I have ever had. It looks modern even though it is only a 2009. It rides very smoothly. I will probably be able to drive this vehicle for another 4 years or so. It has been very reliable.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Miranda F.

The cons of my vehicle is the gas mileage is probably the worst part, and then another con I say could be all the recalls on the car that's comes out and it has to be a the dealership for a day or so and I am out a vehicle.

dislikeFilled Sherer J.

Never ending air- bags recalls. Air- bag lights will not go off. There has always been an internal leak that mechanics cannot seem to get to. There has always been a whooshing sound from the back seat. The dealer told us it had to do with the design of the Rear Axle.

dislikeFilled Jowell W.

I have had problems with the tires squeaking and low tire pressure. The tire section is very tedious. I also feel like I lose oil quickly. Since it is an SUV, I feel like gas is more expensive for me...

Is The 2009 Lincoln MKX A Good Car?

Yes, this is a great vehicle. It is comfortable to be in, and we've done longer drives and never been uncomfortable. Once we drove 2 hours and didn't stop once, and when we arrived we weren't... Read More

How Reliable Is The 2009 Lincoln MKX?

It is completely reliable, and runs like a newer vehicle. You'd never know it has over 150k miles and was over 10 years old.
Brittney C.

Is The 2009 Lincoln MKX A Good Value?

We have an upgraded model, so ours was about 12k. The only bummer is that the GPS needs to be updated, but this is affordable at $200, so I still think this is an excellent value.
