Lots of bells and whistles.
Nothing. I absolutely love my car and everything about it I would never get a new one. It's very comfortable and reliable and great for my two kids. Also has a lot of space in the trunk for hauling or moving etc. Best car ever. Lots of bells and whistles too.

It is my car only do not touch it.
No complaints my car is basically decked out in everything. I have leather seats push button start and is clean as a whistle.

It has everything!
I only recently purchased this vehicle but I'm absolutely in love with it. All of the features are fantastic. I can only dream of a brand new model but if it is anything remotely close to this one I'm sure it's equally amazing!

All of the extra details add value to the vehicle.
We love our Lincoln MKX. It drives super smooth and we love all the details; double sunroof, heated steering wheel, easy to move the seats. Comfortable backseat. We also love the navigation system. This SUV drives great in the rain and snow. The sound system is amazing too!

Great on gas and comfort.
It is 100% reliable and it is great on gas. I used to spend over $200 a week on gas in my old car. Now I am only spending $60. It is very helpful for me because I am always on the road. I have never had any problems with this vehicle, it has not ever broken down. The seats are extremely comfy and my friends always beg to take my car on our road trips for some new adventure.

Great family vehicle with luxury.
The Lincoln mkx is a great vehicle for me and my family. It has plenty of space for my family and has so many luxury features. I love the quality of the leather seats, the heated steering wheel, the heated and cooled seats, and the panorama roof. The all wheel drive keeps us moving safely even in winter snow.

To much money being put back into 2012 Lincoln MKX.
The touch screen stopped working need to fit the whole computer of the screen. Brakes and steering wheel problems. Light problems, door sensor problems and alarm sensor problems. Brakes sensors problems. Battery gives out because of all the electrical problems.

Luxury SUV with plenty of perks
Front hood is so big it's hard to see where the car is positioned. The driver cabinet is small when there's a passenger as far as room to store purses cell phones etc. The car is hard to exit out of because of the foot area being high. The cup holders are not placed well for the driver

Gas savings and a quiet ride...
I like the savings on gas. I have an ecoboost. When I turn the car on, you can barely hear it running which is nice.

Mid-sized 2012 silver Lincoln MKX.
Bought in 2017 and aside from the breaks going in and out by the third year owning it, the car is perfect, good mileage, for the most part reliable, survived hail storms, would recommend, these are just filler words since I apparently do not have enough so.

Luxury on wheels for those that demand luxury and convenience.
This car is very reliable. I have had no problems with it at all. Gas mileage is good, maintenance is easy with my local mechanic taking care of all servicing needed, including oil changes. The car has great acceleration and is quiet. The sun/moonroof is a great addition and makes me feel carefree when I open it. The hatchback opens with ease and with a push of the button it closes effortlessly.

As long as you keep up with the maintenance of the vehicle it will run really well and will not have problems. Treat your car well and it will not fail you.
I love the size of my vehicle, all the extra features such heated and cooled seats, keyless entry, and the remote start. Also love rear camera and touch screen. The vehicle also drives really nice especially on long trips. Only complain is that I do not own a 2018.
