I'm a coupe kind of guy. I like to be low to the ground and have a grip of where all my tires are. The idea of an SUV has never really intrigued me... that is until I test drove the MKX. It was small enough that I felt like I still had control of it and large enough to handle any extra storage we may need. I loved the black interior with natural-colored wood grain trim. It's the perfect combination in my opinion. On top of the black exterior. For an '08 the features are pretty outstanding. The white dash lights are very nice as opposed to the green or amber I've been so accustomed to. The ride is very comfortable and the cooled/heated seats make it even more comfortable. The interior lighting is bright, but it's not annoying to the driver. The only thing we had come up with it is the speed sensor went out 1500 miles after owning it. Fortunately, the dealer put a 3000-mile warranty on it, pretty surprising for an 8-year-old vehicle, and it was covered. Otherwise, it was about an $800 expense. Regardless, I love this SUV. I'm very glad we held out and went with Lincoln. Even though I'm a Toyota guy, I have always liked Ford, and I figured Lincoln was the way to go if I wanted all the features. UPDATE 5/23/19 Still loving this vehicle. The leather has held up very nicely. It still drives great. Other than the speed sensor issue in my initial review, it’s only been in the shop for oil, tires, and a tune-up. We did have to replace the brakes 6 months ago, but that’s it. We’ve put 40k miles on it since my initial review above. I only have one complaint... sometimes if the Bluetooth won't connect to my phone, I have to turn the car off and back on to get it connected. I wonder if this is a Lincoln and/or Ford thing because my 2011 Lincoln MKZ does the same thing. That’s it for a complaint. I’m really liking the drive of Lincoln and hope that it remains reliable because I could see us being a life long Lincoln family. UPDATE 11/24/20 Being a 12, nearly 13 year old vehicle at this point, we've actually received compliments on having a nice car. I do keep it clean and properly take care of its appearance. I'm still very happy with this vehicle.

Liked that this is a crossover so you sit up a higher than a car but it is not a huge step up to get in. Comfortable ride that handles well in ice and snow. Not very good gas mileage, but I expected that. Heated driver's seat stopped functioning about 6 months after 4-year warranty ran out and would have been very expensive to repair. Voice recognition of synced phone was spotty across multiple phones that I had over the years and it sometimes lost my phone-book. Rusted parts on the underside happened more readily than past foreign cars that I owned.

Purchased an used 08 Mkx after letting go My town car which makes this my third Lincoln product. I love the styling both inside and out it has a very nice appearance. The car is smooth and quiet, has a great ride, handles well at high and low speed's . The versatility of this vehicle allows me to do whatever I need from going out on the town in style or towing and moving items in the large interior space . I enjoy the simplicity of the interiors dash uncluttered look. The rear seats that recline or a nice option for passengers. The Vesta sunroof is a wonderful option when driving gives you a very comfortable open air feel to the cabin from front to back . The car allows you to make Road trips drive for 12 to 14 hours and not feel cramped and uncomfortable . The car feels heavy and substantial in highway driving sticks to the road makes you feel in control of what you were doing. I love this vehicle and would buy it again.

I bought this car a little later in its life, got it used in 2017 with 58,000 miles on it. Man, it’s still in the race though with luxury cars that have came out years ahead and even in to now. I think the vehicle even in 2018 looks very stylish and up to date, the features it has are also still very current and practical. The sync system works well even with my iPhone 8 and the navigation system has always been able to direct me to any place I needed to go. I feel like Lincoln as a brand has gotten a lot of negative attention in terms of not being a “real” luxury brand. Honestly I feel like this vehicle was miles ahead of any Cadillac that came out in 2008 or even in to today. The only feature I wish I had was a reverse camera but the parking sensors help out nicely. I have about 69,000 miles on it now and have had no problems at all. I think this car is for sure one that is worth a look, especially pre-owned.

Purchased my 08 mkx in 2010 with 22k miles. I expected to drive it a couple years and here it is with 166k miles and as I shop around, I am still happy with my ride in the mountains around Denver. Had some transmission trouble a couple years back but with the regular maintainance it has been a great ride. I’m considering a newer ride but, I don’t see anything else that has a better I love the double moon roof, heating and cooling seats as well as the light interior finish. I still get compliments on my vehicle and people are surprised it is as old as it is with the mileage. I am considering hanging onto it for another year or two.
