The 2008 Lincoln MKX receives the new Sync electronics interface system.

Voice activation is added to the optional navigation system. A pair of special edition appearance packages is also now available.

Pros:
  • Comfortable and quiet ride, lots of standard features, spacious passenger quarters.
Cons:
  • Poor braking distances, smallish cargo capacity, low-grade interior materials, rock-hard front seats, no dynamic advantage over the Ford Edge.

  • High Value Vehicle - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    Have 2800 miles on the car and I absolutely love it. SYNC (very easy to use), THX sound and Sirius are outstanding. Cooled/heated seats, very quiet & comfortable interior, headlights that move with steering, power liftgate are major additions. Engine/transmission powerful and smooth. Comparing my Limited with any competitor was not even close from a value perspective. This was a great buy. Mileage better than I thought - 19 around town and 22+ on the highway. Handles equally well in town or on the highway - a true pleasure to drive. Seats 4-5 people more comfortably than any of its competitors. Insurance cost was surprisingly low. Dont overlook this car. It is awesome!

    So far the driving experience has been good. Not quite as comfortable as my 04 Saab 93 though.

  • Glad That I Changed My Mind - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    I bought my MKX a month ago. I was going to buy a Toyota Highlander Limited until I drove an MKX. I love the MKX. It is very comfortable to drive for both my husband and myself. We are both over six feet tall. The heated seats and phone system is great. I have plenty of room for all of the items that I have to carry for work and for my two year old. I am averaging 18.65 MPG overall. I am very happy with this.automobile

  • The perfect small SUV - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    Im 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. Its 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 Ive 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 its 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. Im very glad we held out and went with Lincoln. Even though Im a Toyota guy, I have always liked Ford, and I figured Lincoln was the way to go if I wanted all the features.

  • Beware - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    Whatever can go wrong with a car has on this one. Service department only contributing to issues. Over 50 days in the service department (not even 12,000 miles) Rebuilt transmission, transmission leak, sync, navigation system replaced, usb port replaced....

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE this car - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    I have now had my MKX for 1.25 years. I cannot say enough great things about it. The creme brulee color and the light tan interior still look brand new. I love all the features cant say enough about the sync (makes me lazy). I have numerous people try to buy it from me. This is the most luxurious sexy fun car I have ever owned. My 12 year old and his friends LOVE the rockin steroe system. I cant believe it is stock. My gas mileage continues to improve with each oil change. I am now getting 24 hwy and 10 city. Would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone.

  • Best car yet - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    Brought the car while I was up in Virginia on a visit. Owned Fords and Lincolns for a long time. This one by far is the best. My wife drove it back while I drove our old Ford van back. She loved all the gadgets, I call them toys for adults. So far it preforms just like they say. I go for safety more than gas mileage.

  • Excellent Car & Beautiful Too - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    Absolutely fantastic car. My two pros for the vehicle, the SYNC system and ride quality, makes this car the most unique in its class. It is definitely worth taking a look at.

  • Glads that I made right decision - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    Before I bought the MKX, I was about to buy Nissan Xterra. And then My dad recommend me to buy Lexus RX350 or Lincoln MKX. After I drove both then I bought MKX. Now MKX has 24K mileage, without any trouble, just oil change 3 times. Ah right, there were one problem at 22K, its steering wheel vibrated while pushing brake from 70 MPH to 0 MPH. After went to dealership for tire rotation, then the problem is gone with no charge any penny! Very happy to have MKX!

    I been eyeing this SUB since it came out! It took me 8 months to convince my hubby to buy me this car. We bought the 2008 Limited Edition with the 20" wheels. I LOVE LOVE this car! Its an eye candy! Lots and lots of compliments! Lots and Lots of look! We test drove a Benz, Lexus 350 and Acura and its uncomparable! I probably will drive this car for the next yearS to come!
